No codes Euan,will look into removing chip and fitting new lambda sensor this week -only got 10 days before having to pay for a re-test

If i change the ECU to a Z4 is it a simple plug/play or will i need a re-map?? excuse my ignorance but not really clued up on ECU's .

Standard Subaru exhaust with 2 x cats is whats fitted, What do you mean by-Best to test with it plugged in and then not ,is this with the 2 black plugs connected and check codes?

Innovate wideband sensor is linked/looped into the Ecu,was wondering if i unplug it then fit a normal lambda sensor -would this correct the fuelling ?

Update; removed MAF today and cleaned ,reset ECU and cleared codes, took the car for a good spirited run and went to garage and tested emissions - still high 0.789 .Put car on ramp and had a look for Lambda sensor - haven't got one fitted instead i've got an Innovate broadband sensor connected to the headers.Need to get to the bottom of this problem ,anyone any ideas???? IDEAS; 1.Remove Innovate sensor and fit Lambda- need to check if sensor is wired into ECU or just linked to Gauge on pillar pod ?? 2.Fti a Z4 ECU and normal Lambda sensor ??

Took my 1995 Type Ra for it's MOT and found out it was overfuelling and the emiisions were too high .Checked the error codes on the ECU and got 2 , #23 -Mass Air Flow Sensor and # 33 vehicle speed sensor -can anyone help me resolve these and hopefully get it through it's mot. Car is fitted with an induction filter,zerosports ECU and standard jap exhaust with cats.The car does seem to use a lot of petrol and the air/fuel guage seems to fluxtuate from 9-13 when accelerating.

Anyone know the best place to get a lambda sensor foor a 1995 typre ra and the part number -i think mine needs replacing .Any help appreciated.

Okay cheers for the info .CANCEL my topic then ,it would be easier joining up with the Aberdeen crew.

Didn't think it would take you long to get back into the scooby ownership Barry ,nice car -thinking about a Hawkeye myself in the near future.

I'm planning taking my Type RA through to Wallace performance in Aberdeen in the next couple of weeks to put it on the rollers and wondered if anyone would be interested in a Rolling road day,hopefully the first weekend in November.I know it's short notice but shouldn't be too much hassle to organise. I've been on nightshift for 3 weeks so haven't been able to contact Wallace yet but i'm home tomorrow so will give them a buzz and see if it's possible,get prices etc. The last one we had at Ellon was a good day out (apart from Al - when his car jumped off the rollers) As i said just gauging interest at the moment.

Nice one Rich,look forward to watching your progress with the project.

Does anyone know of a good place to get my alloys powder-coated in the Aberdeen area,i've heard that PPS in Inverurie are supposed to be good (£40 per alloy) Can anyone recommend anywhere else. Cheers.

If your weren't happy with the car then garage should return your deposit unless they gave you something in writing stating 'non refundable deposits' Have you contact citizens advice? The garage is way out of order !!!

I'm offshore until 26th Oct.

Nice wheels- they look in mint condition as well.

Got the RA insured for the wife & me on the 1st Oct - £345 fully comp with her 4 years no claims. Took it out for a good run and can't stop smiling, it just seems so rapid and quick off the mark.Makes the Bugeye feel slow.... Bring on Knockhill - can't wait.

Nice wheels - let me know how it goes with the R888's,

I was quoted around £900 for the wife & me to insure the Type RA and the bugeye -fully Comp, I've got full no claims ,wife has 4 years.

Sorry to hear this -feckin not a very good mate if you ask me.

Cheers for the info - i'll have a think about the hawkeye one.

I think i prefer them too,but couldn't resist buying the gold ones as i got a very good deal ...

I was told by the garage that supplied them that they're light-weight but when i picked one up to put in the garage they felt the same weight as the Rota's and Inovit's i had before -so not really sure of weight.

Which ones - they're both Rota's ...

Have 18" Rota GRA 's on at the moment and love the look of them,here's a pic;

Coilovers are next on the agenda- new alloys are sitting in the shed until i decide if i want them on or not, also fitted these brand new Prodrive mudflaps today as well - bought them from the same guy he wanted £30 for them ; i nearly bit his arm off and couldn't believe it.........
