do you mean its running all the time, ie at idle, or does it just cut in at higher revs?? at what speed does the engine die. your not trying to switch it on from idle or anything are you??? ie with the throttle shut.

Feck! - failed MOT - Help!?!
ok, make sure they are aware of this bullitin (fom andyp's site) as the upper arms may still be within tolerence. and with the rack - look here , the wear is most likely in the tie rod ball joints on either side of the rack which are seperate items it would seem. pull back the rack boot to see if the play is indeed these joints or actually wear in the rack gear itself. good luck!! :)

Hks Electronic Boost Valve Controller
the pressure reading is overall pressure. 1 bar is fine IMO - just make sure you have an upgraded chip in the ECU or you could be underfuelling at higher pressures. is that on the standard gauge or do you have an additional boost gauge - the stock one in the dash is very inaccurate. it shouldnt effect lag at all - all it does is up the pressure the wastegate opens at.

Help front bumper bolts sheered!!!!!
i know the ones you mean, & no iv not had any problems ;) but - i guess you could remove the stud - drill out where it goes & either tack weld a new stud in or if theres room, fit a bolt through from the other side (inside the wing) again this could be tack welded from the inside to stop it turning when you fit your nice shiney new 99 front bumper :D :cool:

front tyre wear?
rear camber is adjustable - front is not!! if the front camber is out of spec & you want to adjust it, there is a camber adjuster kit available which brings the top arm out to reduce negative camber if that is the problem, or you can get replacement adjustable upper arms. you need to have a 4 wheel alignment done 1st to see what the problem is. ;)

Taking my car apart. The Diary.
yea, the gas creates a sheild to get a good weld gasless migs use fluxed core wire to get the same effect. not as good imo

Appropriate boost level
look here for traction control. its a race bred system that will improve performance including adjustable slip control & launch control. it also makes it safer - trust me, its a wise investment, esp when modded (trust me - i learnt the hard way :( )

Appropriate boost level
DEFINATLY get traction control ;) as andy says - weve got a group buy going on so you can save a few quid too :)
-
Appropriate boost level
a decent boost gauge is a must if upping boost pressures. i got mine with replacement A piller trim with holder from Smithy on here. turbo timers is a matter of personal preference really - i like to just drive sensibly for a few miles after a bit of a rip as for the in car boost adjuster - its called your right foot!!! ;) :D

Tips for MOT
unless youre lucky enough to have an Aug 95 > zed, it doesnt need to pass a cat test as there not in the emissions database. it just needs to pass the pre cat test (3.5% co 1200ppm HC)
