strange note?
hi all, when my cars idling the drivers side exhaust note is real fluttery, kinda a flat note, but the other side is a nice deep note, as soon as you press the throttle it changes so there both the same note, this is starting to anoy me as when my turbo timer works and im walking away i can hear it very clearly, any thoughts as to what this could be or what i could adjust?????? 91 tt auto. straight through system (no cats) only back boxes. cheers Jim.

Fire extinguisher
I fitted mine just behind the drivers seat, about just below shoulder height, you can get a good fixing on the panel, and it's easy to reach. jim

Have I got compression problems?
justin, about a year ago my boost gauge needle kept going into the middle of the gauge when on idle, i found out on mine anyway that it was the boost gauge vacume line, its on the drivers side right at the back left, where they usually put the alarm sirens, its on a T-piece. On mine it had gone real hard and split, I cut it down a few times but it kept splitting. after i got a new piece of rubber hose it has been fine since then. hope this helps a little Jim

Grounding kits
hi lads, bought one of shrimpy last week, fitted it at weekend not really expecting anything to be different, but it is, the first thing i noticed was the revs don't drop when i switch my headlights on, the second is it really does feel ALOT stronger through the rev range, very notieable, and the third is my headlights really are alot brighter, I took a photo before and after. I was going to post something about this on here yesterday but did'nt have time last night. Jim

DIY Remote central locking
hi mate, is it a jap import? if so you will need another c/l motor in the passenger side door and an alarm with a c/l output on it/ on the alarm there will be a wire for lock and a wire for unlock, these go to relays and then the door locking motor which pull and push on the rods, to open and close. any more help mate just ask! jim

How to use an auto box?
craig david? proper bo! hi mate sorry but just had to.. the 1 is 1st gear and no more it's for towing and ripping your tyres to bit's 2 is the car will set of in 1st then change to second and no more, agian, good fun! the hold button is really for ice and rain driving, the box won't shift down to 1st when stopped, when you press the accelerator you'll set of in second, good for low down exhaust note and using dump valves in an auto. the power is for keeping the car in gear alot longer and right up to the red line without shifting up. when your driving normal, bang your foot to the floor and the power light should come on and down shift fast!!!!! and it turns the air con off for more power. hope this helps a little mate JIM.
