Quick question guys At the moment mine is running (in a broad sense) with a superchip.....i know there crap but i have ordered the greddy emanage which is a piggyback ecu so am i better putting a standard chip back on and over riding it with the greddy emanage or does the chip in the ecu not do anything once the emanage is working?? I am just thinking from a reliability point of view because alot of people slate the superchips for reliabilty but if it doesnt matter then i wont mess with it Cheers Kirbz

Ok, I know it sounds weird, but when pressing on the brake, even gently, once you build up enough pressure (not stupid amounts) the I can feel the brake pedal click and it'll drop about 1cm. Any ideas why this is happening? Here's a clue - it most probably has something to do with me changing all the pads yesterday :D Just trying to work out what I did wrong to sort it out tomorrow

Come on guys pick an option or throw down your thoughts... Hopefully I'll manage to do apoll right this time :) Cheers Ben

Whoops, sorry for this bad post. Ben

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a 3 gauge pod that fits in the Radio slot? I have seen them on eBay but they all seem to for lefties cheers james

I just put a new Coolant Temp Sensor and I want to measure the voltage? Do you know in what range is should be?

Does anybody know how much/ and if you can still buy the ferrari/corvette type rear round light conversion. Some of the members here have this done, and as Im hoping to buy one soon this is one of the first visual mods I want to do. Cheers :dance:

A mate has said about having a wider track on the front to the back might be a bad idea........is it best to space the rear aswell? I hadn't planned to. (my new wheels just catch the caliper) a 5mm spacer/shim will sort it. Cheers.

My Zed has been making a strange noise and has only surfaced in the last couple of days. The noise sounds a bit like a clock (tick. tock.) but the sound is not is sequence (ie, tick, tick, tock tick, tock etc.) Any Ideas?. Cheers. :)

When car is warmed up temp gauge goes little bit less than half. I want to install a temp gauge and read the temp in celcious and i want to know where to connect it. Do u know the ECU pin number for that?

as the title says - i know 14psi is the maximum that you should run an engine which doesnt have forged pistons. I would like to hear from anyone who is consistently running more that 14psi on a relatively standard engine. I was thinking about running 16psi - but i just dont know whether to risk it. Regards, Alex

I've got an old gear stick to chop up to make a QS. I was just going to chop the botom off and extend it a bit. Anyone done it? How much did you extend it by? Cheers

Anyone on here done it and recommend a particular brand? The odd ball feeling of the rear end of the car floating that it gives is really starting to annoy me, kinda spooky when you're really pushing on, but worse at low speeds on roundabouts etc.

For those that have SBC-iD and PowerMeter-iD installed together in the DIN space below the head unit, how do you protect them from prying eyes? I tried covering them with an old Halfords DIN sized head unit cover but this doesn’t sit comfortably over the ID’s and keeps falling off. Are there any other covers available? Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

Well i gave up today!!! I found a fuel leack in the hose feeding the fuel filter Mark and i fixed it pulled the plug on the throtle position sencer and found it to be corroded and cleaned it up all ok, start the engin no problem running as smooth as butter, switch the engin off and pack every thing away gone to start her again no go we struggled fot a good 5 hours and no go we did a ECU test and found a problem on the crank positon sencer so we cleaned the crank position sencer and did another ECU test found that the coolant temp sencor is faulty so we cleaned it and done another ECU test and got the all clear. She still wont start, we did manage to get her running on 2 c…

Anyone got 18" wheels & Traction control. If so what setting you got for T & U i.e. Driven and Reference wheels ? I did have the stock wheel settings in there i.e. 00631 on the fronts (reference) 225/50 x 16 00627 on the backs (driven) 245/45 x 16 However now I have .... 00653 on the fronts (reference) 245/40 x 18 00642 on the backs (driven) 265/35 x 18 I have not changed any other settings and yet I now have slip at 0% slip !!!!. What tyres you guys got on and what settings you got in there ? And do you get any slip ?

Hi Guys I'm thinking of getting a combined GPS/ Radar-Laser detector. Does anyone have any experience of the Snooper S6R Neo? I notice that the actual radar/laser detector unit is quite bulky, so I'd probably install it in the air scoop just below the number plate. It would be more descrete and the makers claim it's weather proof. Thanks Jon

I'm in contact with the supplier who offered to make me up indiglo gauges a while back and he has offered me a different style now. He can make up silver faced dials that light up 6 indiglo colours. I'm not sure on priceing yet but would anyone be interested in these? Vijay

I've been trying to replace my clutch today. Exhaust came off easily, so did the starter, managed to remove all the bolts out off the bell housing as well. I've now spent 3 f**king hours trying to wiggle the gearbox out...and i've brought it to the edge of the fly wheel. What the f**k have i missed? I'm following the tt.net guide on clutch replacement but the gearbox just won't come off. Is it better to disconnect everthing and take the gearbox out or it it just a case off wiggling some more? Should i have the gearbox dropped down on the jack or should i try to pull it off level? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Stu.:cry:

Whats the difference? I have a manual TT car , is it worth me buying a stock auto ecu with a view to socketing it for a modded chip? The auto ecu I have in mind is cheap thats why I ask. Thanks for any help Mark

Has anybody figure out how to set up the LOW-FIT HIGH-FIT values? I dont know how to set it up correctly.

...if you pulled in front of me (red NA) last night about 6pm you've either got a petrol leak or your car is running extremy rich. There was a noticeable smell of petrol. ..good luck Jack
