Yesterday I saw a WRX scoop on a R33 GTS25t. What is going on? Do people not know that WRX scoops belong on Subaru's, Lancers and Mirages. So I quickly dialed 000 for the ambulence to help me recover and the police to make an arrest.

Just in case you wondering, I'm still a little ill. I've been told by the paramedics that it can take weeks if not months to get over such a shock.

W out.

lancers and mirages with scoops!?!?!?

you obviously don't your cars either, it probably was a WRX with an aftermarket front bar.

If you didn't look close enough you'd have thought the Auto Project GC8 was a R34 GT-R. I also almost bought that car. (See attachment).

I was joking. i didn't call 000, that was a joke too.

I know my cars quite well. it was a stock R33. didn't even have an after market exhaust or after market wheels.

don't get me wrong, I don't mind the odd venting in the bonnet though think it to be a little ordinary when someone places a WRX scoop on the bonnet around 20cm from the windscreen. Firstly, the car most likely didn't have a top mount IC. Secondly, why would you want a Skyline to look like a WRX. I like WRX's but they are two totally different cars. I don't want Ferrari tail lights on my R33 (though I wouldn't mind the Ferrari in full).

lighten up evo.

Yeah its like a connon on a VL it just doesnt suit it, i know a VL has got the worlds best motor in it, made by the best motor company ever! But thats different VL's woth cannons is rice in my opinion anyway. And whats with those KIA things with the WRX scopp and the gold wheels, arethey WRX's wannabes or what!?

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
