Does anyone know how much these are worth?

Had a little scrape in a car park and did some very minor damage to my driver side front plastic guard (only visible from less than 1m away).

Does anyone know how much these are worth to replace? just wondering whether its worth putting in the insurance claim.

Cheers

Does anyone know where i can get a plastic front passenger ARX rub guard?

Mine flung off on the Freeway.

Hahaha. Ahem...I mean, bugger, that's no good mate.:(

You knew it was loose & dodgy & still you didn't do anything to ensure it was secure. Ever heard of duct tape lol.

I'm guessing you couldn't go back & pick it up? Probably stuffed anyway.

lol i was thinking of taping it. but just never did it.

oh well if i cant find one ill just start making it an axis, Jason might be able to help me out but yeh. no rush. just a pain

I'll see what i can do...but not often readily available other than new or secondhand and still attached to a guard (where they should be) :nyaanyaa:

Got the part number handy??

Wtf happened? How did it get damaged?

lol i dont know, the whole thing just ripped off on the freeway.

I vote getting rid of the SUV / crossover look & make it an Axis. Do they leave any marks when they come off?

i vote this too, but i dont know if i wanna spend the $1000 for all the parts. i didnt realy wanna spend too much more on this car..

I'll see what i can do...but not often readily available other than new or secondhand and still attached to a guard (where they should be) :nyaanyaa:

Aaron/Leon - Axis and ARX use the same flares, the only difference is the Axis flares are colour coded.

RS/RX is the look you'll be after if you rip them off Aaron.

Handy if you want to get a body kit.

Ahhh, I see (slaps forehead). Then what I was meaning was turn it into a flare-less RS/RX look. But if there is heaps of work required to patch up bodywork after the flares come off....better not to bother.

Edit: thanks Iain, you answered my question.

wont you need new front guards and have the holes in the rear quarters filled too?

not to mention the side skirts wont fit as they have the wheel arch cutouts in them

just paint the whole kit aaron

Agreed.

Steps to transform ugly ARX into not-ugly :P

1. Acquire Axis front and rear bars

2. Get a custom grill made up (or pay through the arse for Axis grill, bonnet ornament and backing)

3. Colour code the lot

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
