Combine both those Autech bars.

The S2 is flat at the bottom, the S1 (1st pic) isn't.

I dont like how the S1 flares on the sides as it heads back to the wheel arches though.

Keep it even along the sides, have that cut out in the middle rear, THAT, on a series 2 Autech.

If its even, it'll make the whole car look better when slammed. A bumper that is uneven in edge (ie S1 Autech, Uras, Dianna, etc) looks shitty. More "boxed" shape like S2 Autech. Does that even make sense?

As Toffy said, widder to accomodate Aus plates.

Yeah it makes sense, I like the sound of it. It's simple, but combined with the larger rear plate opening will be enough to no be considered a copy.

No plastic, no care. Fuck fibreglass.

I'll just wait for a gen Autech to show up at a wrecker in japan. Or plastic weld the stock bumpers... doin my golf's ones atm... it's not that hard:

shan can weld plastic hey ? :whistling:

Easter break is gonna be balls out work on golf and ceffy. have you seen the cef lately? full sun fade on the roof. I need a fkn carport.

Everybody wants plastic.... anybody willing to put money behind their comments and help pay the $25K up front fee to make the mold?

I sure as shit don't have that kind of cash and if I did it probably wouldn't be spent on making something that potentially only 50 people over the next 3 years would buy.

We'd have more luck conducting an email spam campaign on TRA Kyoto to make a ceffy kit than getting a plastic one made here at a reasonable price.

lawl. I know a mob in China that will copy anything with no regard for copyright, and all their stuff is plastic. They make the kits for Wald.

Costs are:

USD$18,000 to set up a mould

USD$500 per kit (Front/sides/rear)

Minimum order 300 kits.

So if we get 168 buyers at $1000 a full kit we should break even. :ph34r:

That's not so bad if it was a more common car like an S13. $16.8K outlay for everything, sell the kits for $700 each and you make a profit.

Plastic welding isn't that hard , as long as you know the basics about the different types of plastic .

^^^ This.

It's actually easier than fibreglass when you get the hang of it. Hard part is matching up the different plastics.

Symmetrical Series 1 Autech.

Needs a lip IMO.

Series 2 FTW.

And on that note, how about bigger side openings....perhaps big enough to show off a small oil cooler, instead of intercooler piping? ;)

Edited by Nic_A31

Here's a quick chop - it's far from perfect - of a cross between the Autech S1 and TBO bars. Has a lip, larger & symmetrical air intakes and no indicator holes.

Thoughts? (aside from 'learn to photoshop')

That what's I was talking about when I asked about the indicator holes - not the side ones. I've never had any issues with not running indicators in the front bar even when the front bar fell off on the street a few times & I got pulled over for it, still no defect as the bar was in the car with me and I was 'on my way to the body shop' :)

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
