im "considering" doing a retrim once tax time arrives, changing the grey cloth with a blue velour, anyways question I wanna ask is, should I leave the stock interior parts that are silver (eg around the power window switches, shifter & faceplate) or paint them the same colour as the exterior??

project.r.racing · 06-01-2009, 11:04 PM

is it a VL commo? do you have a mullet?

marcs_sp20 · 06-01-2009, 11:44 PM

Oh yeah bruh, cruisin round on the skidderz gettz the ladiesz

The grey cloth is getting stained, and well im looking at different avenues seeing I have done what I wanted to do perfrormance wise, and suspension is not too far behind it.

It wouldnt be a home spray job, figured i could get the interior parts done while the grille & eyelids are getting done...

Anything else? Opinions?

could you post up a couple of pictures of the interior. will the whole seats be done in blue velour? if so leave it silver to break up all the blue

marcs_sp20 · 07-01-2009, 07:28 PM

Here is a pic of the interior:

Thinking blue velour on the door cards, and the darker grey on the seats.

Also the bits that are silver was going to repaint in the exterior colour...

Will 18x8" rims with a +35 offset fit under the guards of an SP20? running 215/35 tyres...

Anyone?

project.r.racing · 13-01-2009, 07:38 AM

use the rim and tyre size calculator in the suspension section. compare the 18x8s to your sp20 rims.

marcs_sp20 · 13-01-2009, 01:27 PM

from what i put in the calc, this is the only thing that worries me...

Quote:

Package will stick out 23 mm (0.9'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

Whadya reckon?

hey does the KF have a knock sensor? And are ECU's smart enough to use the knock sensor to advance the timing, or do they just do defensive adaptations ie only retard the timing if knocks are detected?

The KF-DE does not have a knock sensor, the KF-ZE does.
If yuo were to put a knock sensor in then you'd need a KF-ZE ECU to make it work. The knock sensor (where equipped) lives in the V between cylinders 3 and 4.

And yes the AU ECU is retarded
