Bring it on!!!!:D LOL

Pete, your a star mate. I guess I should have thought of Google though Dah!!! Anyway, it has been a long day! Cheers again, Justin:)

Hi, not probably the right place to ask but I know how knowledgeable you guys all are. I need a link to a wioring diagram for a MR2 turbo or SW20, whatever you wanna call em. I need it to fix a problem with my central locking so I can sell it before my Zed arrives from Japan. Many thanks, Justin

Hi Rob, I have aheard a bit about the veilside. How easy is it to insatll and set up? Justin

Cheers Geoff, I will look into this recovering thing. Looks like the most practical option:)

Thanks for clearing that up Ryan, how come u decided to go down the Mines route rather than the SE/JWT route as most others seem to have taken? Justin

..........but Tweed! Yuck!!! LOL

So are we basicaly saying its a no-go then if the car its from is not identical to mine. He says it will be fine on a 90-93 TT manual which is ok as mine is a 90 TT manual. What would happen if I start adding mods such as Zorst, boost controller and induction kit. Will the Mines learn all this on itself or would it need remapping, which it seems is not possible?

Thanks Ryan. Seeing the Mines is a replacement ECU and the JWT and SE are just chips, how is the Mines better or is it? The guy wants about £200 for it plus P&P from Australia. Is it really worth it over the other two options? The Optimax thing is not a problem seeing that all I will run it on anyway. Justin.

I am sure some of ya have seen a Mines ECU in the For Sale forum. Any one got any experience with these and how do they vary from say just having a JWT or SE chip? I am looking for a mod like this so I can get an electronic boost controller and up the boost. I guess it would need to be remapped to go onto my Zed. One problem with it is the guy selling it comes from Australia, a bloody long way to go and have words if it doesn't work! Do you think it would be risky to go ahead and buy this? Many thanks, Justin:)

LOL, hope, still no joy:( I will be online later and will try again then. Cheers mate:)

Hi Nigel, Sorry but I can't seem to get the link to work. Maybe its my broadband messing me about again!!! I will give it a try in a while and see if I get any more joy. Cheers, Justin:)

Thanks Ajay, I will keep an eye out. I think it would look so much nicer than having my motor full of tweed. Cheers, Justin:)

One thing I will miss about my MR2 turbo when I sell it to get my Zed is the lovely comfy leather/alacantra. I have spent a lifetime trying to like tweed but it just isn't my bag and my ZX unfortunatly doesn't have the leather option so I was just wondering if I would be able to get some decent MR2 seats and put em in the Zed. Does anyone know if other seats will go in? I would just find some leather Zed ones bu the ones I have seen are all in crap condition. Any advice greatfully received. Justin.

Thanks Richard, Sounds likea reasonable price for that sorta duration. I wonder if the fact that mine is an import will make any difference.

Thanks Alfie, Seems to be alot of bad press about as far as warranties go. I think I will be spending alot of time reading the small print when I go looking for one proper. Justin.

Hi Rob, Did the belt snap before you had the new one put on? I had this problem with the aircon on my MR2 turbo. I later found out that the compressor had packed up and that had caused the belt to snap. If the compressor is knackered you are looking at a bill of £600 upwards. Might be an idea to source a good second hand one from somewhere. Justin.

Only 97??? Whats so great about that then! Its no better higher than standard super unleaded. Don't know what all the song and dance is about in that case! Oh well, looks like I will be keeping to Optimax. Thanks, Justin.

Thats great Richard, I will give him a call in the near future. Just a couple of questions, how old is your Zed and is it a TT? What was the duration of your warranty? Cheers, Justin:)

Thanks Phil, I guess all you can do is speak or write to the company and check where one stands when it comes to 'wear and tear' and making claims. Justin.

I can recommend Shell Optimax, really good stuff:) Does anyone know the octane rating for this new BP Ultimate petrol? I have looked everywhere including BP's website but can't find anything about octane numbers. Cheers, Justin:)

Eddy, Thanks for that, I know my Import agents deal with Warranty Wise so hopefully will get a good deal seeing I'm importing my Zed through them. I think the price yoiu payed was reasonable for a year seeing its no secret how much cars of the Zeds caliber can cost to repair. Good luck with the turbos and I hope they cough up now its there turn! Would be interesting to see how you get on. Steve, Cheers for the advice, I will let you all know when I get some decent quotes. Justin.

Thanks for the advice Simmo, I know these warranty companies can be a bit dodgy when it comes to claims. According to Bonsaicars, the agents I am using to import my car, the cars are checked over by the auction house and then checked over by Bonsaicars engineers. I felt that Bonsaicars inspection was based on cosmetic condition though but I could be wrong. If I find a suitable warranty for my Zed then I will be sure to let you guys all know on here:) Justin.

Yeah, we'll send the boys round!!! LOL:)

LOL, I know what ya mean, not although I have anything else to do with the stuff! I'm sure I read somewhere that there is some kind of comeback if the car ends up being a shed when you get it back to your house. You recall anything like that or is tha wishfull thinking? Justin;)
