bez, spoke to the guy you gave me the number to.

he thought I was on crack, but I told him we'll be priming and painting and all he has to do is plastic weld so he agreed to it.

world's first golf to have a VE holden rear bumper :laugh:

hahahahahahaha mad :D

What's everyone doing tomorrow night? A few people wanted to see my car so I'm gonna have a little mini-meet at Parkmore so people can have a squizz before it goes to the mechanics for a while.

paint looks hot.

if you pumped and rolled your guards, why does it still have a lip? :laugh:

anyways, that wheel fitment looks ok, don't bother cambering and other silly shit, if you're keeping it that height don't worry about it.

Thanks man. Yeah, I love the colour! One of the only reds I haven't hated :laugh:

I only got the fronts done and Athid said that MR2 guards don't stretch much. It's definitely better though! Rears were already rolled when I got the car.

Wheel fitment would look a hell of a lot better if it was 2" lower..

for the love of god pls fk off those stupid drop down banners im gettin really fkn sick of them im all for marketing but cant it be in a less intrusive way? i couldnt even click the new posts button cos it wouldnt fk off!

HTC Desire HD? Fuck yes. Only phone I'd choose over an iPhone 4, not so much a jailbroken iPhone 4 tho.

Don't expect the same battery life as an iPhone tho, expect to have to charge it by the end of the day every day. Other than that, it's awesome.

Might wanna hold off a month for the Google Nexus S (built by samsung) or the Sony X10. Nexus S is like the new model Google phone (so updates n shit aren't provider dependent like with HTC, Samsung etc), Sony X10 is like an awesome piece of hardware running android... probably the best "phone" cos Samsung (korea) and HTC (china) aren't really up there with the build quality of Sony (japan/norway).

I always charge my phone in the car/when I get home anyway, so the battery life doesn't bother me at all. Only really looking at the HD because there were a list of phones that Vodafone are offering, and the Legend isn't no where near as good, plus some LG POS. I'll probably get it later this week, read heaps of reviews too, and it seems way better than a standard iphone 4.

if you're goin from Apple to Android and you don't get a Google or unlocked phone, prepare to be restricted by carrier branding shit running in the background draining your battery. Telstra is the worst, Voda/3 is almost bad, and optus is OK. Also you don't get OS updates straight away cos it works differently:

Apple OS update process: Apple -> You (via iTunes)

Android OS update process: Google -> Manufacturer (HTC, Samsung etc who put their wrapper around Google's "vanilla" OS) -> Carrier (Telstra, Voda etc who put their wrapper on the manufacturer's wrapper) -> You

I know guys who are still running 1.6 (currently up to 2.2 with 2.3 about to come out) on their phones because the manufacturer couldn't be arsed wrapping newer versions, which means the carriers don't get shit, which means you have a slim hope in hell of gettin an update. Most people with HTC's on Optus I know had to wait 6 months after Google released their vanilla OS to get an update from Optus. This sucked cos the update included Swype which everyone was raving about when it came out... 6 months before. All cos Optus could brand the OS and put their shitty apps on it (which you can't uninstall).

Only way around it is to "root" your phone (ie jailbreak) and put a vanilla OS on it direct from google, with a couple of tweaks to make it work on your phone.

This is why carriers love the Android phones, and sell it much cheaper and push it harder than the iPhone (which Apple pushes for them).

iPhone = sell your soul to Apple

Android = sell your soul to mobile carrier

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
