mine already looks like a race car, all I need to do is add flames and give them a reason to pull me over Big Grin

I totally would like fire on shifts

Yes, just a setting where I can have shift flames at my disposal would be fun. Not for everyday, just for if a friend ever has to follow me. Police won't bother me around here, and I doubt it will get much use. Just for a laugh. If it isn't easy, I couldn't be bothered either. Lots of other stuff to get right first.

Remember, you can only be young once, but you can be immature your entire life.

I am just wondering exactly what statue covers that. Is it a fire law? I can't see how legislators would word and foresee that particular issue. Remember, just because they write a ticket, does not mean you are guilty of anything. That is separate step and there must be an ordinance, or law and you must violate it.

I'm just saying, sounds hard to convict on that one if you contest it unless they have made a new law recently which is possible.

Running a car without a cat is against the law... Flammage is a definite no no... Sad

Oh yes... decat of course BUT if the car is pre 2001 then you can legally run without a cat Smile

Personally I would like a "flames out tailpipe on lift off" switch for night effect. Screw pop and burble, I want FIE-AH. Cat and exhaust may not like that, but....I still feel a need. lol

Also a setup with starter disable unless some sequence of switches are pushed for city parking would be nice.

Valet mode would be good for some too, limit revs to 3k,

So many things. I don't know what is and what isn't possible yet, but hope to find out.

Jan, maybe make a Vipec forum so we can try and keep things neat. Sticky up top for FAQ we create, etc.

@HRM - ask Jan for Rotational Idle with Afterburn for effect.......

Pointless....he doesnt have turbo, and hes not trying to make a antilag system....Or hell he might be i don't know lol.

There is a couple reasons for a rotation idle....Unless he has a rally car there really is no point.

Sounds like a vacuum leak to me...now if you put big cam(s) in then do RI it does sounds like its pretty mean. Well as mean as a 4cly can sound lol.

Aaaactually he does have a turbo. It's a 2006-2007 WRX STi (he just replaced the decklid to get rid of the retarded wing) it's still got the rear window spoiler on the the leading edge of the backglass (harder to get rid of since it leaves holes. . .and generally if someone wants to do a fake STI, the giant retarded ass spoiler is the first thing they put on) and the STi logo on the gauge cluster and the adjustable center differential (you can see the adjustment indicators on the top center between the fuel and temp gauges), The red stitching on the steering wheel, two tone interior Those three bits are specific to the STi's.
Also looks like he's got it set up for an FMIC. . .engine bay shot is too dark to make out much else.

Sorry, my other car is an '07 STi Big Grin

But with the boxer engine/unequal headers, a downpipe and a good exhaust (I'm using the borla hush), it sounds pretty darned mean and snarly without having to have the weird lope in the idle.

Just ask Jan to set up a mild anti-lag and put it on a switch

There's a number of things you could get for it, anything from a Section 59 all the way up to a big fine for 'Endangering the Piblic'

pre August 92 in England, I assume Ireland is the same as we're covered by the same EU Directive
