Tried to do me for things that werent RWC items like a "soft" upper radiator hose. Rear pads were 2mm and legal limit is 1.5mm and I called him out on that and he got all defensive that oh well if you want to save $350 then we dont have to do it, then turned around and told me I should anyway. Front tyres are Retreads (dont laugh, they came with the car) and the mechanic thought that meant they were damaged on the sidewalls, even though its just the cap glued on. Also tried to find the slightest imperfection in every bush so is trying to sting me for most of them in the rear and a couple in the front. All up about $1000 if I don't do the brakes.

All for the VL?

Daf*k

Indeed, I was going in expecting like $500 bucks. Silly me going to a jap RWC place for an aussie car... I'm dropping it off at the old mechanics tonight, he laughed at the brake and bushes comment so I should be alright, just means I wasted $165 on an inspection.

Lol they're distantly related to My cousin or someshit. I don't know.

LOL!

Just take it to Racepace.

:rofl:

Took a VLT to a Jap place for RWC.

Have been considering that Adam. I pulled it apart lol, how hard can it be?

Andrew. Whole cars in bits ATM lol

Can demolish a house faster than you can build it :thumbsup:

It's not difficult, just daunting. Probably not a good idea to attempt it if you're planning on using expensive high performance parts and you've much more to lose than just your pride if it doesn't work.

Woot Footy's back!

Anyone here play supercoach? :ph34r:

Since when did it go away, As far as I'm aware it plays for like 10 months of the year which is a pretty f*kn long winter for a winter sport.

i haaaate changing spark plugs on the rb25..

pffft. golf's easy as. is it cos you is armature?

i never said it was impossible... just pointlessly annoying.... the plenum setup makes the RB plenum setup look logical

also i'm talking about the 1.8 whereas you had the 2.0... not sure if there is a difference.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
