... and no, not that kind.

So anyways, I'm getting a respray sometime later in the year and want to do a bit of body work before that. Ive called a few panel beaters and asked about getting my guards pumped out a bit, nothing ridiculous, just a bit out and slightly flared if you know what i mean. However most places said they don't have the tooling to do it or gave me crazy quotes.

Now i don't want to put those fiberglass flares and what not because I don't like them and am not going to be kitting my car, just clean modified look with a nice set of racing light weights to finish her off. So who knows someone that knows what they're doing and can do the job properly?

I don't particularly care about the paint cracking as its already stuffed (hence the respray), I just want the right look and the option of shoving wider rims on it when i take it out around the track.

and, im also considering this as crazy at it looks.. seems to work out for him (im talking about the pole bit mid - end)

ok great, thanks guys.

as i said i dont care about the paint cracking, it doesnt bother me as some of you might have noticed at the dyno day that its in very poor condition and has scratches everywhere. Only thing im worried about is the panel denting above the flare once its done as i don't really want to have to bog it and what not.

Can they do front guards as well? i have a feeling that if they tried it would screw the gaps between door and bonnet as its not the same as rear quarter, its bolted in up front... I might need to get GTR ones and see if they fit.

what sort of fitment are you going for? is it gonna stick out that much that you have to roll your guards?

im looking along the lines of 9"-10" wide, but nothing too crazy offset wise. flares most probably wont be needed but.. i also love the looks :thumbsup:

wheelworx want $100 per corner with about 12-15mm lip max. thats a lot of lip but bit pricey.

Ive seen another ghetto way of doing them with a car jack.. haha don't know if i got the balls to attempt that or the jap way myself.

thats what id do :devil:

oh yeh they do! hence why i dislike the guards... looking at viva garage website though, their type M1 doesnt look too hard to glass up. decent price too!

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
