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?

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
