if its the one im thinking of its hooch's old kit, which went to cupraj i think, i would get the map looked at though, hoochs engine popped a couple of conrods and cupraj's gearbox went from what ive read

 

[gazcuprablk]

i have spare engine gear-box and gt28 so if the worst happens i have a part 2 fix it lol. off up 2moro after work 2 pick it up im havin everythin that was in the for sale ad. thinkin of gettin a apexi boost controller as 350bhp is a bit much as i was told 330 is about enough the engine can take we'll soon see tho. let the fun begin

 

[Forbez]

ECU is easy mate, ify your anywhere near me, i'll do it for feck all beer tokens!

As for the clocks, i'm confused, are you swapping the dials or something? If so the mileage cant be changed backwards only forwards.

 

[rogers]

i was very tempted by that kit! asked him a few times!

i didnt like the look of the custom parts downpipe etc

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Gaz clear some pm's

 

[nogutsnoglory]

apparantly its a custom code 3 map, id get someone to set it up properly if i were you, a couple hours tweaking will be better than wasting time and effort fixing stuff

 

[PhilW]

I'd get it running and just run a MBC for the time being to stop the massive torque spike he got on it. Hope it goes alright tho.

 

[mr_D]

if all fails and you still need someone to swap the ecu then i will do it for you. Im in cardiff so probably not far

 

[nogutsnoglory]

yeah but thats uncharacteristic of a custom code map, but fair play it'll be awesome when up and running.
wanted the full gt28rs to get rid of the lag an elim would make, but dont have the money at the moment and plus think i should uprate other things in prep first

If you need stuff doing, walk round the corner to number 93 lol... im sure I can help.

I've got an apexi avcr too, just not for sale


Phil: where you get you ghetto short shift from? I can't fine any!

 

[Forbez]

I think it was ebay Matt, I've got one you can have, if you need one in a hurry.

 

[jivejester]

B&M copy tom? How much? Has it got a threaded top?

 

[Forbez]

Think i paid about £30, for it,
bought it from here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Quicker-4-Less

I think its got a threaded top, but I haven't taken it from the box.

If you wanna, if you order one, and then have mine, I'll have the one you ordered when it comes.

One for sale here:

[jivejester]

I spent 3-4 hours scouring ebay and couldnt find anything. Ill sort something now!

 

[Forbez]

Its a PITA to find them sometimes, I spent ages looking, and ended up with Civic short shifters coming out of my ears.

 

[jivejester]

Just ordered one from hong wong for 27 quid. Won't be driving the car much so a 5 day wait isn't the end of the world.

Just a pita to take all the downpipe off and stuff now

 

[PhilW]

I guess tom has answered that then matt. lol.

 

[jivejester]

Aye, looks like the chemical metal on my forge core has let go too. Looking for a big ass universal one now.

 

[PhilW]

Liking the sound of that. Pipework by charlie as well?
