So ur you!!!

I got a Vortex generator from them. Took about a week, the product was good quality and well packaged. Thumbs up from me.

Nice one, mon the NewAges!!!!! Get some pictures up!

Call him Scooby Lee!

LOL! Well I have told the guy who did my last set of decals that I want to go ahead and get some more, but he got back to me about three days ago to say he'd read my request when he had time. I think it's time to look elsewhere for a sticker-man!

Well given that changing the alarm was the last thing you did, just before the car played up, it can't be ignored as a factor. I wouldn't say installing the alarm could reset the ECU back to standard, all that would happen is that any variables stored in the ECU that are learnt by the ECU over time, would be lost. For example, I recently had a problem and the CEL came on. I checked around and found a broken hose. I replaced the broken solenoid, refitted the hose, but then cleared the ECU of the new fueling cycle that it had changed to becasue of the air leak (running too lean). So you see, the map stayed in placed, but the parameters learned and stored by the ECU where removed. I'm not explaining this all that well, but that is at least the gist of it. Perhaps something like this has happened to you. Did S&S pull any data off of the ECU to say there was any sort of problem?

Anti Lift Kit.

WOW I agree! Fantastic!

LOLOLOL!!! Oh that comment really made me LOL! He's actually not far off of 12!

Thanks for the heads up mate, will do

Booked into Hypertech for rear ARB fitment. Asked Duncan about both and said to make do with the rear only first as fitting both will not be wholly suitable for a road car. I'll see how I get on with that then decide on whether to fit the fronts later. £134 supplied and fitted

Congratulations mate!

Yeah, I think your car would still work if the turbo was goosed, though, since that hasn't happened to me (yet!) I can't say for sure. One of my friend's had a turbo-charged SAAB and when the turbo went on that, the car still ran fine, but with no oomph, just as you describe. If a sensor was picking something up, it should throw up a CEL. Looks like you need to get it to the garage to have them stick their diagnostic equipment onto it. Maybe your turbo is goosed. I have a spare one if you need to borrow it to rule that out. Keep us posted.

Out their a55 more like.

B Roads ma boy! And as I said, I am slowly making the car a track car anyway. As I said, a few years down the line when I can afford something nice, I'll use it sparingly and mostly on track.

I am... Yes it is! I LOVE my car and I want to drive that! What is the point in spending fortunes on it to run it back and from work? Pointless. My plan is to keep biulding it up till its near bullet proof and then keep it mostly for track and I'll get a Beemer for every day use. That is some years down the line however! And I don't mean a Beemer like G.Mac's! Sorry, no offence, but I'd like a really nice new one

A sign saying: "Keep the Spec-G".

Yeah and hand over my gear box in a poly bag!

Isn't half! Looks excellent. First time I have a spolier like that. Welcome and enjoy.

Aye right, no such a thing!

It's not me that has to crumble... it's the wife. Can't blame her though, every time I go out one track it either costs hundreds or thousands of pounds. Trouble is, what's the point in having what I have if I can't take it on the track? I can't go to the next one anyway, I have a wedding that day, but I am going to push for the June one

For a litre? If I put stuff like that in my car at those prices, I'd expect it to sprout wings and fly!!!! And then be offerred shares in BP. This just pushes performance motoring to new levels of stupidity.

Scott Anytime I have reset the ECU I have done so by dsiconnecting the battery for 15 minutes. This was on the advice of Andy.F who has been racing and tuning cars for years, so if anyone should know, he'll know. And yes, you do need to plug in a device to read off error codes, however, your CEL should come on and stay on if there is a problem. Have you tired all the usual steps, like checking all the hoses etc? Not long a go I had one tiny little hose come off and it threw up a CEL as it affected the fuel mixture. Your ECU can, to some extent change things when it thinks there is a problem, so clearing it will mean that its running under the normal parameters as the new stored ones will be lost. I had a cracked piston and the ECU retarded the ignition as the broken piston was detected as knockining. The retardation level was stored then when it happened again, the ignition was pulled back from the value stored by the ECU, so when I cleared it, I had a clean page so to speak. This of course never fixed the piston, but it just made the car more usable until I got it fixed. So that is what I mean by the ECU changing parameters. Give it a try.

Thanks Geo. I have got Coilovers, Droplinks, Fast road geometry and ALK, just a matter of the ARBs!
