Whos the asshole if the owner of the car has done known illegal modifications

well if you see my car it is very clean and i was not doing anything wrong to get pulled over. the minute he pulled me over he didnt even say hi how r you or anything he just said get out the car and open your bonnet. i thought that was very rude of him mate.

and since when are coilovers illegal modifications? arnt they ment to be better for your car

i dont know i just reckon its stupid if i was doing something wrong i would have been happy to have taken the punishment. but this guy was really rude and a smart ass when i opened the bonnet i have a alloy radiator and hes like "nice shiney radiator you got there dont you" like seriously is that necessary

sounds like he was stating the obvious... it stands out.. he was saying it was shiny.. seems like that is the least of your worries now.

get the stuff swapped and fixed up and get a real roady (you said its very clean) and then put all the mods back or leave it legal.....or don't do it at all and part out the car/sell for cheap....

These are the chances you take when you modify your car, not a matter of you were driving well so you don't deserve to get caught.

lol, if your car was that legal/okay you wouldn't be seeking a dodgy roadworthy. No one does these anymore anyway...massive crackdown on it and harsh penalties for doing them.

Just raise the coils and swap out the shit that won't pass. Sucks he was rude to you straight up, but that's the culture some cops create and ruin it for the decent cops...just like a lot of import drivers give them lip when they get pulled over for actually doing something. Assholes all round...

yeaah i will have to bring it back to stock i did raise the coilovers and they said it wont pass with coilovers so i have to change it back to stock suspension, the reason why i wanted a dodgy is because i work 6 days a week so i havnt got time to change around the car then put it all back on ive had it for 2 and a half years and no problems as its only my weekend car, just so annoyed

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
