Hi Justin and welcome! I moved from an MR2 to a Zed and have never looked back :D :D When's yours arriving and where abouts in Surrey are you? Cheerz Steve

Nice one Shaun! At that speed you did well to take all of those great pics as well! ;) Steve

Smithy, if you're an old git like me (ie: born pre 1970) your birthday will be wrong. May be a bug in vBulletin?! Your membership no should be under this though. It doesn't appear in "Edit Profile" because it's not a user changeable value... Cheerz Steve

Been away the weekend and only just arrived 3 days late for the meeting WTF!? Hello, anyone still here?! :confused: :confused: I'll get me coat... :( Steve :)

Me too Stu :confused: Would have been useful to have "and our recommended controller is..." Steve

Vijay, did you get yours from your US supplier in the end? The Auto Illusions group buy went nowhere in the end :rolleyes: I know you did alot of ground work on this and would still be interested if anything came of your efforts... Cheerz Steve :D

On my investigation into boost controllers I came across this great comparative review of some of the main models (A'pexi AVC-R, Blitz SBC i-D, Greddy PRofec-A, Greddy PRofec-B, HKS EVC EZ, and HKS EVC IV Silver Edition). Thought it may be useful to those considering this route... http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/tech/0207scc_boostcontrol/ Cheerz Steve

Well said james!

Thanks matey! :D:)

Good riddance you moaning tosser ;)

Excellent! Get her warmed up - there's some fine adjustments to be made! :D :D :D

Where TF do you live gibbon666??! That is a b'stard quote :confused: Do you have it garaged at night? I hate insurance companies... :mad: :mad: :mad: Steve

Ahha! I found this particulary good one that Wazza posted up some time ago.. Looks like a fiddly job to do though :confused: :confused: Can you buy that din blanking plate and then cut the hole for the unit? Steve

Many thanks for the replies fellas. Couple of further questions arise... 1. zevans - What is WOT - wide open throttle? When you say "boost wobble" do you mean a wobble in applied boost or just the boost reading? 2. James - will this "mechanical" work need to be undone before the AVC-R is fitted? 3. Is this the group buy on ScoobyNet? 4. Does anyone have a picture of this unit installed? Just wanted an idea of size and position... Cheerz Steve

NismO_UK - IIRC it was £760 including the decat pipes. There is a huge range of tailpipe options including quad tips and big bore. Highly recommended... :) Steve

I'm considering buying and Apexi AVC-R and had a couple of questions for those "in the know".. 1. Where have people mounted this unit. I've seen it in the lower DIN slot and this would be favourite for me. A bit worried about it being visible to thieving scrotes though :confused: 2. Heard a few worries about reliability. Has anyone had any specific problems? 3. I've had the SE Boost upgrade carried out already. Will the controller simply override/replace this or do I have to do anything clever to disable this? Does anyone know what SE actually do to the car when they carry out their upgrade? 4. Does the unit operate/display in PSI? The manual and pictures I have seen (from Apexi's US site) seem to show everything in kg/cm2 :confused: Any help/pics/advice appreciated! Cheerz Steve

If you've got it installed remember to switch your traction control off or you'll be misfiring like a goodun and showing a Micra like BHP figure :D :D :D (That'll be my excuse anyway ;) ) Steve

Cheerz fellas! Clarkey, as Jock says "loud but not too loud" :D When you go to see these guys, you tick a box on the form - Quiet, Loud or Full Sports. I went for the halfway house option... ;) You can guess what Jock chose :rolleyes: Ben, I think that the decat pipes cost me about £100 but this was discounted as "part of the package". Great job though - they even welded new flanges on the old cats so they fit perfectly when you want to reinstall them. Yes, cat removal is illegal on a post 92 car but WTF! :D :D :D Steve

Finally edited out my No. plate so I can post the pic of my new SS zorst. Well pleased with it and it sounds luverly. Got it done at Longlife Exhausts who have branches all around the UK (http://www.exhausts.uk.com/home.cfm) They also removed the cats and supplied me with cat replacement pipes. Comes with a lifetime guarantee as well! :D :D Only a week after fitting though I noticed the dreaded oil smoke from the driver's side pipe. Looks like the back pressure/turbo seal problem. This has only happened once since however, and only after a heavy burst (ask anyone who saw it smoking on the slip road during the Box Hill to Brighton run! :confused: ) Turned her off and restarted and all was clear... Thanks to Jock for helping me strip the AIVs out.. Cheerz Steve

Did I speak too soon??! :confused:

Nice one Pete! Where from and how much?? :D Cheerz Steve

Hi Ajay I spoke to Bob yesterday - cheques are payable to Nisstech Limited and sent to their usual address. Cheerz Steve

Sorry I missed this fellas. Got back from my hols yesterday and was up at the Collonades last night! Typical - next time... Cheerz Steve :D

Stick me on the list MAC! Just got back from me hols and thought that I had missed the boat on this one.. :( Should be a good day :D :D :D Cheerz Steve

I've just renewed with Carole Nash (http://www.carolenash.co.uk) on a classic policy - £350 all in.
