JUN ecu
Hi John, Do the fuel/timing maps look ok to run the usual 14-15psi without too much danger of a very large expensive bang? Do you think i should expect the same sort of power gains as a JWT/SE chip or more or less? Thanks Baz

Cranks's out
I know, but obviously i mean if it isn't grooved, which it doesn't appear to be. It's not worth taking the risk if there is the slightest doubt, it's too bigger job to be doing over again in 2 months. Baz

Cranks's out
You can get a crank polish which will remove surface marks and still allow you to use standard bearings instead of a crank grind where you have to use oversize bearings. Baz

Scream on startup
Hi Jason, Mine did this for about 3 days, when i started it it screamed for about 5 secs and stopped, but didn't do it again for about 20 mins if you stopped it and tried again. I found it was the tensioner on the air-con belt, the bearing was totally knackered, i got a good second hand one from zedworld for £5:dance: Bargain Baz

3G brakes big disk conversion.
Hi, I brought a pair of Brembo d+g disks off e-bay US and the shipping was only $60, so it sounds like the cost of that kit is really about $450:( ......Bagins, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the caliper spacers from and what did they cost and are the VR4 disks hard to get hold of? Baz

urgent help with my auto box
Hi, I did exactly the same, i brought the car not realising it had a knackered box, being a mechanic i tried a few things myself, i replaced the shift solenoids, i stripped and cleaned out the complete valve body assembly etc, the diagnostic showed no faults, i like Rob H went for the manual conversion, it cost £1500 at Zedworld and i'm well happy with it, i went this way cos i didn't want to shell out £1200 to put the auto box right and have to do it again in 18 months as i have a receipt for a recon box supplied and fitted 18 months earlier. If you decide to look into the manual conversion i would highly recommend Zedworld, great job and Jeffs always happy to help. Baz

tyre help
I've got 9x18's all round with 235/40's front and 265/35's rear so you could go wider on 10" rims but you'd be risking scrubbage if that's a word. Baz

zed keeps cutting out....
An air leak into the intake after the air mass meter will cause cutting out when the clutch is dipped. Check all the hoses to the inlet manifold.

Clear Rear Lens Kit
Red reflectors on the rear are a legal requirement, if you remove the red plastic you'll have to fit some reflectors somewhere else.

Boost Controllers
Hi all, I've been looking at the APEXi AVC-R and the S-AFC, can these be used together instead of an ecu upgrade or is the upgrade still necessary? Cheers Baz

Auto Box Fault
Hi all, I've just removed the valve body/shift solenoids from my auto box, i've tested the solenoids and found the O/D and lock up solenoids to be ok, but the block of 3, shift A/B and L/P solenoids don't work....My question is, is it normal for all 3 solenoids to go down at once? Thanks Baz
