yeah darkest legal... meh i still like it

thats what i thought, and thats why i'm getting my "legal" tint changed to 20% or so as i'm pretty disapointed with my current light tint :)

BTW: i actually got my first tint done when SAU had a group discount going 2 years ago :(

yeah, and they charge about $60 for removal of old tints - apparently its not just a case of peeling of the old ones :)

also people should know that 20% tint is $30 more.

Its still cheap compared with normal prices but i've decided to keep my old tint as i'm short on cash :)

Just so people know as I do not see it on this thread, 4 door cars do cost more.

Apparently for 4 door cars a price of $195 was agreed

Still cheap but posting so others know.

When i booked my cefiro in i said it was a 4 door, and the price was still $145 ????

No worries alan, your car looks great...

hmmm I've organised this group tint but my cars taking so long at the painters that I'm still a few weeks off getting it tinted, let alone registered arrghhh...

Cheers mate, was very impressed myself with the results also.

I am sure they would hold the offer for you as the organiser given the circumstances with your car being built.

How do I put a thumbnail image up like that as I tried to work that out earlier viewing the code. I made sense of it but is there a quicker way?

I know nothing about tinting, so here's a couple of questions:

What is the % of tinting of exactly? Is it what you can see from the inside of the car (when standing outside)... Does this mean that the lower the % the darker the tint?

I assume that there is a 'darkest legal tint' because people (police) might like to see inside the car... or is it that the darker the tint (from the outside) the harder it is to see out of the car from the inside?

cheers guys

:D

The % that is referred to is the amount of light let in i.e 35% So if the % is less, the tint is darker as it lets less light in. I have 20% on my back window.

I believe the darkest legal tint refers is so that visability out of the car is still good rather than looking into the car. With my tint, it is quite black from the outside, looking in but looking out when driving, there is barely a difference IMO.

When I got to the tint place, the guy already had a package he suggested which was the 35% windows and 20% rear which I think is being offered to all people. The 20% rear normally costs a bit more but they are doing it inclusive from what he said to me.

HTH and if anyone disagrees, please correct me

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
