dont get it :S

yeah... definately right about that...

not worth the risk, just putting it out there... i've noticed they've put some speed cameras up on EAST link, under a little bridge right near WELLINGTON road both inbound and outbound... sneaky...

Parking tickets are terrible too... copped a $117 fine on the weekend at 11pm... dont park in loading zones... hahaha

i sometimes find myself creeping of the speed limit. these damn stagea's are just so smooth, dont even notice :)

Know the feeling m8!!!!

& yeah it's a gamble to get one(radar dect) ,& where u r located personally NO,NO,NO, but thats my opinion,get a speed alert fitted instead maybe,& get to the track on a regular basis, it helps.

I miss the "protection"...that thing was seriously good

I was looking at one on ebay... $140

seems like a good investment... until you get caught + the $3000... that would hurt the hip pocket... i wonder if they would cancel your licence..

This is a pretty sensitive topic so I cant say much, but basically my recommendation is if you dont know what your doing dont get one. Me an my cousin have both been using RD's for awhile now, first time using one in a place sooooo illegal, there are products I DO recommend but for 140 your not going to get ANYTHING good especially since they will be detected by the cops and you'll get raped.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
