I'm glad im not the only one that think half these cars have shithouse offsets. 10 degrees of negative camber, a 215 stretched tire on a 11" rim with the entire wheel tucked under flared gaurds that scrub and spin the whole way through second gear with 140rwkw because there is 2cm of tire touching the road just really doesn't do it for me. I agree some look tuff to look at parked up, but to actually drive them around in a performance car i don't understand the point.

Funnily enough its the same people that you hear about saying they can't get traction through three gears on stock power outputs.

hence why drifters stretch tires.

to do what your talking about a wide body would be the way to go have something big with proper tire fitment sitting flush.

There is no point. I for one am not that ignorant to think it’s a constructive “mod”. It serves no purpose other than aesthetic.

The ride is far worse, the tire wear is obviously far worse; you cannot turn anymore than half lock, and if you make any attempt to corner hard the rims more often than not grab the guards.

Personally, I think a car looks ridiculous with “sunken” rims, it looks tacky with the gap often left.

These “drifters” are just copying the Euro guy’s from the early 90’s and late 80's :blink:

Viva the early VW/Porsche/BMW "tuners" :P

Oh no doubt, however you can get a good offset matched with some proper tyres that sit nicely. I don't mind the tyres sticking out of the gaurds slightly, i like that look. However half the rim sticking out with stretched tyres tucked underneath with ridiculous camber just isn't my thing. Thats the joys of doing what we do though, every car is different and every one has different tastes.

its hard to find a balance, but it is possible...

i sit my rims about 15mm out of the guards, and then stretch and roll to fit... however i also have the tyres set up 100% for performance first, i.e. near flat camber on the rears, and a tiny bit more on the front, i also run a lil +ve castor. cant remember the exact figures as i did it 2 years ago and am so happy with it that i haven't had to change it

with 300rwkw i couldn't possibly have a setup that killed the traction just for looks.

With the exception of a car dragging its sideskirts on the ground I doubt there is anything that would catch the eye of a copper faster than some of the above posted ridiculous setups.

As for aestheitics I can see where you're coming from Josh. Its some kind of competition to see who can have the ugliest setup isnt it. :P

Far out Trent, back in port G days. Remember the days back when D1 garage was down the rd from my work and i could hear u guys come sliding onto mooringe then into the shop lol. Until Vahoumos (sp) wiped out a power generator to half the block :banana:

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
