Was your car not mapped after its recent rebuild? ( i may have the wrong person though )

Only if its been mapped by an ecutek dealer if its just a ppp cetificate then i believe the anwser is no.

I would think it would depend on how many miles you plan on doing? If you buy a car with above average miles and then you dont do that many or you buy one with above average and then you do loads. Its going to have an effect on the resale should you come to sell it.

The last wagon sti was the bugeye, no blob sti wagons.

Is polishing and grinding not two different things?

I think this is it a few years back. Hello and welcome to the club.

Hmm never actually gave it any thought Colin. I guess i will be then lol

Thanks Neil i got a PM saying them same thing so i will adjust those ones.

A mate from work had engine failure in his bug sti, he has since had a new engine fitted. He has a few bits left over after the engine change that i am going to post in the for sale section on his behalf. I need a hand pricing some of the items as i am not really up to speed on the prices on newage bits. ( This is not a for sale ad and i will make one up when i get all the prices ok'd with my mate ) STI intercooler ( £180 ? had a look on ebay and they all seem to be more than this price ) STI pink injectors ( £150 ? ) VF35 turbo (£350? ) engine on the car had 51000 miles ECU from a 03 plate sti which the donor engine came from ? STI red top manifold ? Decat down pipe ? ( not sure of make ) Standard exhaust headers? Any help greatly appreciated And no chancers telling me the stuffs worth a tenner * adjusted injectors and turbo price *

I said to myself that i wasnt going to spend any money at all on the car this year but that didnt last and i bought a simtek ecu with launch control and anti lag . Thankfully it was a great price secondhand i should hopefully be able to sell my apexi power fc, apexi avcr and z32 maf for more than i got the simtek

It would be a good idea to post on 22b.com to let them know. http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=1

Dan Geo still uses the forum he has an advert in the for sale section at the moment. I am sure he will get back to you soon enough

I think he has fitted an after market grill kit.

Yours is mapped his is standard, you were trying he wasnt ?

Kenny looks like its been done before lol http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/5239962.stm

Like i said my comment wasnt aimed at you. You would more than likely be fine, its the ones that you can hardly read or that have handy black coloured screw heads to make a letter on number look like an other. Not 100% on how it works but a quick google throws up loads of reading

Wasnt aimed you kenny but its a camera linked to a computer that reads number plates and allows the boys in blue to know if the cars are all taxed and insured or stolen and wanted. If the camera cant read the plate then they wont know.

Not sure if its been mentioned but what if your car is nicked and then drives past a police car fitted with ANPR but because it cant read your number plate it drives straight past .

Like bobby says dont give that guy any of your money. Try Dunc at hypertech or try the likes of Lateral performance. Do a search on scoobynet for flatfour online and prepare for lots of bad reading.

Got to say that i agree with Dale on this one. There are complaints of people driving whilst on mobile phones which we all know is illegal and we accept that but we all know the law reguarding the spacing on plates. They are both illegal so we just have to accept it and move on. ( i have a smaller than standard fron plate btw )

Any mates in the AA?

I was in my bed after the nightshift and then heard a noise outside my house, jumps out of bed and opens the blinds to see the google car sitting right in front of my house . Been on it today and checked and thankfully i am not on it.

I saw it over on 22B.com. The owner is in Glasgow i think. I wonder how much its going to cost to get it back on the road.
