haha UV lights in that car would look nuts... but on a more serious note, I reckon that same job in a glossy silver would be nice.

Hmm, thanks for your opinions though, I'm still in two minds over it.

If you haven't made up your mind, then u dont like it, though you don't hate it....

But most importantly.... you don't like it! Well that's what I've gathered from your responses.....

Don't settle on second best... Pay for what you want, don't just get what u paid for.. (make sense? :confused: )

Yeah, I know.........go with you you like....... I'm conservative by nature, but I can just hear the rice boy in me, yearning to come out!

Thansk again for the comments though, its all constructive. I guess I was hoping that somebody could give a great argument to convince me which way to go.

I think what Dr Sigmund Freud here is trying to say is that he dun like it nu should get what you originally wanted.

Not that I dun like it, but when I am looking at getting something for myself, If I dun like it right away, and I am in 2 minds, it is b/c sub-conciously I am trying to convince myself to get it for whatever reason it may be (eg: can't b f'd looking anymore, haven't found anything better, etc). In this case I think it is b/c it has been done already, and although he doesn't DISlike it, it is not what he really wanted...

I've done this, before and many other people have before....

But if I were in this position, I would be happier with a white dash rather than a broken dash! If it is growing on you, then keep it till you're sick if it, then get what u really want....

I'd wait for the new paint dude. That white is just way to out there man. But I reckon it would look choice with the gun metal. Plus you will probably find yourself constantly cleaning the white. My mate did the same as you with yellow (spew) and you can see where it has worn, it looks tragic. Another reason I would go for a darker colour.

Being rice is not about manual or automatic!!!

In fact, manual cars is more rice than automatics because you can change the gearknob easily with the one flashing lights, etc....

Silver goes nicely with std trim, but that cream colour is a bit showy and look out of place with your std seat/door trim. If you retrim your door insert and seat upholstery with cream leather or vinyl then it'll go along very nicely... and it'll look that you're doing the whole lot, not just a patch up job.

haha, looks like a piano or black and white minstril or something!

Seriously though, i'd get rid of it and do something like a gunmetal grey like you said or satin black. I reckon if you are gonna go 'rice' then do it with silver/chrome. Each to their own though.....

I'm gonna get mine done soon too, two pack?

And what did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
