I am having a look at VW and Audi sites at the mo

No she wants something new or nearly new, she wanted a land rover or porsche cayenne but I told her no way as the mpg was terrible.

My Wife has a Focus ST3 at the moment, it is a great car and she has had it for nearly two years. She got it on Ford options that means that she has to give it back or part exchange it for a new car. She has a few grand equity in it and pays £300 per month for it, they cant renew it for another year so she either needs to pay the 11K baloon or get a new car. I took her to look at the new RS focus, she liked it but they want another 6K in plus her old car and £450 a month!!. She said that she would rather spend the difference on her horse etc so did not want to pay the extra. Any ideas on what car she could go for that is a good family sports kind of car that is maybe 20-22K with a good residual value??.

87p A litre is tax you need to VOTE at the next election

Yes I did thanks, we removed the MAF already and the PCVs etc.

yes thats it

What a bummer, I did think it was working after you got it running. Its not self healing this one then?

errrrm no idea my friend has been doing this side of stuff you mean the black AEM box?

martin@symbiosgroup.co.uk you are a star thanks!!! I bought a USB to serial adaptor is that what you use?.

The Manual is 271 pages for the AEM stuff, they are not at all helpful on the forum just tell you to "Read" the 271 pages. If you could help in some way would be really appreciated. Its Sard 850cc injectors JWT 700 BB Tubs AEM 3.5 Bar Map sensor AEM Tru boost What else do you need to know?

Its practically there, put the AEM sensors in today for the EMS did a load of fitting, filled the gearbox up with oil etc etc. Main problem is we ned a base map done before we can even think about it.

cheers guys

Guys Have a few questions that I would really appreciate some help with. 1. There is a pipe that comes out of the fuel rail on the top right hand corner where does it go? 2. I have monster front pipes, do they look like they are in the right position? also I dont seem to have any mounting points or rubbers. Should their be something here on the back of the gearbox?. 3. In the wheel arch filled behind the battery there is an old coolent top up bottle, it looks like the pipe used to feed into the bottom of the stock rad??? do I keep this and put the pipe into the outlet pipe just under the filler cap on the new bigger rad?.

Si I have a feeling it will be in by then, but I will let you know and thanks for all your help.

Its a project car, just wanted to do everything as well as I could. I did not fancy having to do it again so just went for the best build I could.

She is soooooooo close now :drool: I got all the NOS stuff fitted today, we got most of the electrics sorted. Hard pipes are on, power steering connected, belts fitted, water pipes on, engine oil in, coolent in, etc etc. Just need to do a few little bits and stick the rest of the interior in and the exhaust on and she is ready to go to the race shop.

LOL I have used it once in over 2 years, the Garedeners use it.... took me like 3 hours to do it so I thought feck that never again. Hard work being dragged all over the place and my lines were not straight!!!!!!.

John any luck???

I have a really heavy petrol mower with a big drum, Its not a ride on but stripes really well.

Its amazing how many of those you can do without, Its nice putting about half of it back.

I should certainly hope to be at least, 100-150 BHP over all of those. I have to run in and get mapped first. But my build was put together around using NOS and Race fuel so maybe even more????. My Engine is guaranteed upto 1250BHP from memory and it has had no expense spared on this build. But I am going to a proper race tuning place to do the map and upgrade the fuel and ignition system to complete it.

Yepp they undo on the bulkhead

Heat or freeze ya nuts off with a breaker bar. Failing that air saw or grinder.

My little honey is nearly running off to be base mapped in the next few weeks.

Happy Birthday, great weather for it :drool:
