There was a guy in one of the car mags driving a modded up Hyundai Accent. The article said it was like the second or third fastest four cylinder car in Australia... THAT'S repectable, even if the car is barely running any stock parts at all.

When it comes down to it tho, get what you want for your car if you think it looks cool. Today this red pulsar came past me, lowered, custom paint job, custom body kit and bonnet, bigger exhaust, the full timers and stuff on the bonnet, bigger wheels, and I just looked and laughed cause i could picture my grandma behind the wheel of a pulsar, but obviously the owner thought it was cool, and in the end that's all that really counts. So go for it mate, if you think it looks cool then do it. Don't worry about other people.

well i think u have been getting some overwhelming support in here morboost, and i think shows that most people use the term rice boy when is it REALLY necessary

case in point. A friend of mine bought a white Lancer, $15,000, 1.6ltr. He has lots of things in mind, but they include lowering, kit, wheels etc. Who know's, maybe another $5k on top, so $20,000 all up on the car. Yet he still talks about racing, dragging, etc. If these people putting on the evo kits etc want a performance car, they could bloody well buy one with all the money spent on their NA 1.6ltr.

I have a 1991 pulsar 1.6 hatch, looking at spending about $3k on it, to get about 110kw's at the fly (only weighs 1000kg), and not touching anything on the exterior. Car's worth about $4k, so say $7k all up for a 110Kw, 1 tonne car. And my friend will have a $20K kitted lancer?? IMO it's just not justified to do these sorts of things, it's such a waste of money. I've talked to him, asked him, do u want a fast, performance car?? and he's like "hell yeah", --- "then buy a f*cking turbo skyline or something with all the money u will be spending!!!!!" $10K Pulsar GTi-R, beast!

These people want fast, performance cars bcos they are trying to make their cars look like them!!! They admire Evo's, WRX's so much they want their cars to be like them. By the time they total up their bill, prob could have got a bahn storming SR20DET model.

you can use the each to their own line till u turn blue, but i will never understand it.

my friend is a fnf fanatic, he's lost count of how many times he's seen it. i blame that movie damn it!! :P he is full serious when he talks about fnf, it's like his bible!

I dont call it rice, I call it being a wanker.

If you dont have the go, why have the show?????

Put the money into mods that improve the performance of the car, dont turn it into a show pony.

If its got the go, sure, make it look the part, but otherwise where the hell are your priorities?

Imagine if you picked up a nice girl with massive tits, then got her home to find out the fun bags were just padding - you would laugh your arse off. I am the same with cars:p

Or old women dressing up as young chicks - it just aint right IMHO.

BUT if you got it FLAUNT it - and watch the stock V8 driving boys jaws drop when yo smoke em - sort of adds to the pain when they get wasted by a 'rice boy'.

thats just my opinion. It is your car.

These car's exist - they go by the alias of a race car. :( They turn heads, people assume (in my case incorrectly) they're fast.....only problem is, they lack alot of the creature comforts which make for a good road car. Ce la vie...... ;)

I was told rice burners applied to 4 cylinders and not 6 clyinder cars like a GTS-T.

If there in a commodore, just scream back - PUSHRODS, OR CHOPSTICKS, cause thats what is still in their engines since 1965!

And I agree also, whats with the huge monster tachoes on Auto VN commodores?

What the?

Golgo has stickers.

I put them on for MAS, but have left them there as they look kinda cool (manufacturer logos on the door & Golgo is Best!). Reverse on the other side for symmetry :(

Is your car - do it because you like it.

The reason the V8 guys originally fitted the monster tachos to their cars was to keep a more accurate eye on the revs and to stop over-revs (pre fuel cut outs). Monster tachs on autos? You bet. Autos are far superior for drag racing. Not possible to go quicker with a manual in the 0-400m.

It's kinda important to watch revs closley when you've got thousands of $ worth of drag or circuit engine screaming away in front of you...

fair enough, but what if some one does up the exel, lancer what ever and it looks the goods but still is mech standed, whos to say its not fast enough madey the single cam 1.8 is to much power for them so the just want to make it look good. There has to be some sort of respect to some one that can turn a standed mums shopping trolley into some thing that he can cuze with pride, dont you think. Like you park a standed r34 GTR and a standed exel side buy side with ones going to get more atention. But then you spend the remaning $90,000 on the exel then which one will people like more.

Morboost is i had 90,000 to spend on an exel i think i would get it goin a bit faster instead of wasting 90,000 on huge exhaust TIPS not exhaust systems only the tips and other lame shite like that, im all for looks but its got to be able to back it up with the grunt, im not a fan of stickers on the door, but thats me but at least u should actually have the parts, for christ sake u can by all those door stickers in a pack now from your local auto shop

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
