fkn barbs

yet another reason to hate barbs...

It's perfectly safe. Every mechanic has told me that. They couldn't even tell that the chassis was bent. It was the old owner that told me that.

dood... that's a fkn dog act.... i'd headin over with a baseball bat

my commodores chassi is bent and you cant tell if it is...car runs pretty straight....lol...

of course you cant tell it's a commo. it probably came out of the factory bent and you crashed and straightened it

:D 1st gutter = straighten it up but the 2nd gutter = bending it more than usual... :) ..been through 2 diffs in that car...give it the beatn of its life time...always shift after four thousand revs... :) (redlines starts just after 5)

if it doesn't crab and can be negated with suspension alignment, then it's fine to drive. did the owner tell you what else he hulk smashed when he bent the chassis?

If you are gonna fix the bent chassis it's a big job. I'd recommend a ditch and run if it's bad enough that you have to.

if you've munted a car enough to bend the chassis, then the only thing the control arms etc are gonna be good for is as a door stop. You kinda have to replace em, he wasn't doing any favours.

maybe get adjustable arms, makes it easier to offset any misalignments in the chassis compared to static factory replacements.

He said he replaced everything on the left/rear. Tie rod, control arms, etc.
sounds like the result of some epic snap oversteer.

Yeah he was drifting in the wet lol. Who the hell drifts an MR2?!

Where do I get adjustable arms?

I just my car up for sale so want to find out this shit asap lol.

ok relax, do the following in this order:

1. find out if the alignment can be accounted for using your existing suspension

2. if not find out how much it needs to be adjusted by and what aftermarket arms can give you this amount of adjustment

3. if yes, buy aftermarket arms, fit, drive, enjoy

4. if no, sell car

ok? don't try and do everything all at once. work through the problem.

well you, and the previous owner have both driven this car with the problem just fine so far, so driving it a bit longer just the way it is isn't gonna hurt. it may wear out your tyres unevenly and make it slighly unpredictable to steer on the limit, but it shouldn't matter if you're driving normally.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
