sounds like them.. didn't really sound like they were running a professional place when i went in there.

I rocked up and grabbed what I wanted.. but god.. you can hardly get in the place. How are you meant to get there and pick something up if you can barely get in the street? I was surprised i got out of there with no damage to my car to be honest.

If they're uncoated, means they just come straight out of the mould. My sideskirts already will need some work to smooth back and things. Ends up costing more for the final job as the panel shop has to dick with it and extra labour.

but on the other hand speaking of good marketing..

anyone seen the lipton ice tea ad?

pretty funny, the guy walks up to these chicks and says 'hey couldnt see if you were actually hot from over there so ive come over for a closer look'

the girls reply with 'yeah we have already checked you out and your not for us'

then the guy says 'hey ive just noticed some topless chicks checking me out, so ill catch you girls later'

this chick starts chatting up guys at the pub and gets them to by her a drink, but she wants this new 'vodka-o' and then sparts plugging the drink and how good it is

then she moves on to more and mroe guys pluggin the drink, and gets payed for it

nah its not about sex selling its more like this...

lets say i want some front mount piping done for my cooler.. and because i know YOU have a frontmount i ask you for some advice

and you tell me to goto bobs front mounts he is sooooo good, and his work is amazing..

then joe jumps in and plugs bobs front mounts saying how good it is.. so im beliving that bobs front mounts are the front mount kinds, so i take my car there because im under the belief that its gettin worked on by the best

but .. truthfully you and joe have been payed by bob to go spread the word..

basically what mindflux said

They basically pay normal everyday people (via products or money) to promote the good word of their products. There was a case in some US schools where they were actually giving the "cool" kids like the latest Nike or Adidas or whatever shoes. The effect of this was to convince all the other kids to pester their parents to get the same shoes, because the cool kids had them :) Nice huh? Why advertise, when you can simply let people's own word of mouth spread the name of the product?

Nice evil marketing concept, but I'd assume it would work in certain places. There's probably whole marketing books dedicated to the theory :)

it doesn't have to be for evil purposes though. No more invalid than product placement in the movies or whatever.

Apparently "smoking" visible on screen is at massive levels, simply as cigarette companies know that its a nice way to make their products cool again, and also nicely circumnavigate laws against cigarette advertising.. So the rumours are that cigarette companies provide kickbacks to the studios or to actors to have characters smoking a fag in the movie..

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too.

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?
