but then the car loses 10 dollars worth of value, lol.

nah its driving me insane- for about three years ive built this thing to the point that i wanted it at. won a few comps here in Vic, nothing major but hoping to get into bigger things soon.

A copper pulled me over about 4 months ago and about the only thing he didnt poke at was me. Ever since then its like BANG got ya as soon as we seeya. If i was being a dickhead on the road fine i would understand, mate the car is driven like once a week and when it is driven i baby it. I cant afford to thrash it spent so much that if one thing goes wrong then im up the creek without a paddle.

dont know what to do- dont suggest sell it- i couldnt bare to do that.

The only solution I can see is to join the police force & apply for a job at your local police station (or the station where you will be doing most of the driving), so the next time cops pull you over they will be "Excuse me sir, we believe you have illegal mod on your..." <sees you> "Oh, hey mate, don't worry about it, drive alone now. See you at work tomorrow."

Actually I might do that... seeing I can't seem to find a job with my uni degree...

Seriously you are WAY over-qualified to be a WA cop.

Some of the young new recruits are borderline unemployable in the real world IMHO. You've got a combo of 22 y/o women who weight about 90 lbs soaking wet plus overweight pasty faced guys with bad haircuts.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
