if your gonna have a go at this please show me how you did it
You almost got it except for a couple of 'deliberate' :) errors, so do that 'A' level again: If 5x = 75 then x = 15 (not 25) 15 + 8 = 23 (and in any case 25 + 8 = 33 not 32) good formula though. Gaz

Decall Poll
I suppose if you have any doubts you could always replace the cats with some small silencers. I did that on mine mainly to keep the noise down on the Mongoose back end, but I'm glad I did now as I'm sure they offer a little bit of back pressure. De-cated six weeks ago and no problems so far, boosting at about 0.9 bar as well and boy did I notice the difference when the new exhaust went on, the change in the cars response was very noticeable.

Found this ECU chip in my car
It's to dark out to see now, will have to look in the morning. Will also look for a wiring diagram to get an idea as well. Gaz

Fag lighter?
I'm pretty sure mine only comes on when I get all the dash lights on (is that position 1 or 2?), that's what I've noticed when I've had stuff plugged into it. Gaz

Found this ECU chip in my car
That's a thought but this is disconnected and the speedo works (and was in kph until I changed the R10 resistor). I have just had an alarm fitted and the guy doing it said the wiring behind the dash was a mess as it looked like someone had tried to fit or removed a turbo timer, so i wondered if it was anything to do with that.

Amazing wheels
Called Pimpstar, they look amazing, well OTT, but the price is way off the scale. You need to watch the video on the site. http://customwheel.com/custom_wheels/product_info.php/products_id/1687 Gaz .

Nice story on the chip I found
Went to replace the chip in my car with a DTA one only to find it's already chipped with a 'Central 20 Racing Team' chip, replaced it anyway as I want to delimit the car, but I noticed a nice story written on the sticker, it reads as follows: "The tachometer climbs rapidly up the scale and suddenly you feel it and you hear it. The sound is almost imperceptible - the high pitched whine of a turbocharger. The feeling is more apparent - you're pushed back in the seat. The world begins going by very quickly. You feather the throttle and down shift, snapping the lever of a 5 speed overdrive transmission through it's short throws. Ahead the road bends out of sight. With a light touch on the steering wheel you command the car and it obeys - power rack and pinion steering precisely follow your directions. The 4 wheel independant suspension yield just enough as the tires grip and you're through the apex, setting up for the next corner." Gaz

Found this ECU chip in my car
I assume it's a Japanese one labled as 'Central120 Racing team'. Made it a nice easy job to replace it with my new DTA one :) Also noted that a Yellow/Green wire was deliberately disconnected, anyone know what this wire is for or can point me to the wiring diagram so I can trace it. Gaz

Just for fun ... Chav Test
17% for me, phew, although I could push it to 18% if I answer 'Y' to the pot noodle question as I had one 20 years ago. Gaz

Do you own slippers?
I have some very nice Nordika's, nicely worn in now which probably means they'll fall apart soon. I find it difficult to walk around the house without slippers these days, must be becomming an old git.

Has your tubs gone?
De-cat done about a month ago when I replace the whole exhaust and I've had no problems, but then I did opt for a couple of small silencers where the cats used to be, so maybe I still have a bit of back pressure there. Noticed a big change in the throttle response after the change that I put mostly down to the Jap restrictors being removed with the old exhaust. Gaz

anybody used this guy
Not bought from him, but for import duties if the parcel is picked up then it'll be VAT plus a handling charge from the Post Office of about £6. Bought quite a few things from the States and it's about 50/50 as to whether Customs charge you and it can also depend on how it's packaged and marked. Gaz

Norfolk/Suffolk meet pics and possible small video.
You got those pics up on here pretty sharpish. Also looks like you hit a bit of wet stuff on the way back :( still at least Mr Sun stayed out for the photos. It was good to meet up with you guys again and also to meet Neil, hope you get the Z back on the road soon Neil. Gaz

Decat - would you or wouldn't you?
De-catted mine recently and have had no adverse effects apart from a noticeable increase in performance. I did opt for some smaller silencers in place of the cats, so that may hwlp with a little bit of back pressure. Mines a Jap import with about 75K (miles) on the clock. Gaz
