VWL, need opinions on muffler tips:

was originally going to go hidden 3" dumpy tip to keep it quiet and subtle, hidden behind the bumper. similar to stock (but less obvious):

but saw this picture and now almost persuaded to do the same. though not sure if would go well with stock bumper style. +5 bippu points, but not very subtle

That looks like aids...

VIP used to stand for very important person or Valerie Irons Protection...

I feel like most implementing this style these days are far removed from the original meaning

pfft, japan VIP has been crazy for a long time. it basically defined the hellaflush/stance craze in the US. (which is a pretty shit craze, but the similarities are there).

i used to not be a fan, but have come around to VIP to a fair bit.

I would never do it to my car, but scraping and straight pipes are pretty hardcore. in a good way.

ive really started to like how long-wheel base cars look limo length when sitting on the ground. i really wish people would VIP aussie long-wheel based 80's-90's fairlanes and statesmans. that way i dont have to do it.

If i had the cash and effort, i would go bags though.

Totally because Greg.

Probably a better driver may have managed to countersteer and avoid the kerb, but man, panic braking means very little went through my head.

Still better than putting someone else' head through my front bar.

+1 funnies because its a borrowed rim, which means mine is fine...

I think it's repairable. Just looks like a lot of gutter rash. I do mean a *lot*. It isn't buckled, so I mean hey that's good.. I guess..

Guess whos' booking an alignment, though!

Any pro tips re: Wheel fixers? I asked Alvin as he got my wheels I sold to him repaired and fixed and repainted but no reply because reasons.

when did you ask? I went to wheeltech dandenong. LOL probably lost in all the phones i keep breaking.

I love being in South Melb.

around 40 cafes/food places within 3 blocks plus the St Melb market.

plus I can park on the street all day.

moving to St Kilda road is going to hurt sooo bad.

tried mr loys on city road? best hainanese chicken rice you can buy in melb so far.

    • 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 😂
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
