very shamful to admit....but my missus drives a Honda civic with a SPORTIVO sticker on the back...

yes, uyes, sad, but she does...and i occasionally have to drive it also, fluffy toys and all.

i guess my 250rkw 32 makes up for it ;)

Saw this in northern China recently. Modified cars and sports cars are extremely rare in China as the rich people mainly focus on luxury/prestige brands. Thought I'd share. Sorry for the low-res iphone pic, but the badges say BMW M3. The bodykit is probably something some guy knocked up in his garage. The exhaust pays homage to the 100kw under the hood lol.

The base car is called a Brilliance BS4. I think the name says it all.

I thought the previous car was a gem, but this one takes the cake. Can't believe I forgot I had this on my phone. Once again, in China.

Even though I have no idea what the base car is, he's probably tripled its value with the bodykit and stickers.

Note the TRD, Citreon, Honda Type-R and Nissan GT-R decals. I know China's the home of rice but this is a bit too far lol.

Spotted a beast of an Hyundai Excel of the Calder Fwy out near Sunbury on Tuesday night.

Dark blue, fully kitted up with bonnet scoops, gauges including oversize rpm gauge. If the iphone could take a decent pic I would have one, but thats obviously not the case.

I was VERY impressed. I'm surprised the guy/girl could get the car rolling with all that extra weight.

there is a saab which ive spotted many times driving down bell street which is green with bright baby blue racing stipes and a v8 twin turbo sticker on the side and a massive baby blue spoiler and a huge SAAB sticker on the front window

from what i saw it was a business man driving the car.. so i guess his midlife crisis may have sent him a little crazy...

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
