<< According to the guy at NF, doesn't make a difference, just a re-branding. >> Well according to My KnockLInk and Apexi Commander, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between them. Several guys have used the new stuff and is is as good as Millers, ie not as good as the old stuff ON HIGH POWER CARS!. I'll certainly buy all the old stuff from you but would like to pass on the new stuff for my application. Russell

New or Ol formula? Russell

Iain - I can sort you out with changing this stuff over for you when I get home in 2 weeks. But only if you supply the tunes an the Mcdonalds. We'll go over to Rostant Engineering and use his premises Russell

Be careful Gumball - Elephant don't usually allow more than 3 mods on a car (especially a power hike of more than 25%) without you having to call their officce during office hours. Please make sure all your mods were listed as thay can invalidate your insurance if they find out. Best to be safer than sorry M8 Russell

Last Pm from you was the 4th of Jan M8. Try sending another one. Russell ps - free bttt

Surprisingly enough M8...........no. Russell

98- Ra V-limited cars were run in builds of 1000 apart from the last year (2000 ie, STi6 V-limited cars) which were a final production run of 2000.

HELLO? - Does this mean I bought a fuel reg you no longer need? Am I stuck with it or are you still paying for it? Thanks! Russell ps - would be prepared to do a deal on the AVCR (ie, pay the difference between the money you want for the AVCR and the money you owe on the Fuel Reg)?

Jamie, you are correct in that you can get 3-door Ra's BUT they were only WRX's, not STi's Russell

And to top it all off, the V-Limited Ra's (like mine) used the 5th gear ratio like the type R's so motorways are 80mph @ 4K..................................................LIVEABLE I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE Russell

It doesn't have a short ratio gearbox like the RA, it has the same ratios as the normal 4 and 5-door STi's. It has DCCD which has been fairly well explained by Hi Soob. They will be oversteer-biased when the diff is fully open bit will be less so as you dial in more diff lock. You can run th ecar fully locked but it will made some really bad noises as you turn corners due to the fact that the inside and outside tyres are turning together and not at different speeds so the inside wheel to the corner will try to skip round. I have a manual here which can explain it for you if need be. If you do run it fully locked and then com into a car park, lift the handbrake just enough to bring on the handbrake light. This puts the DCCD back into FULLY OPEN until you remove the handbrake. Finally, the diff is actually 2 electromagnetic plates which are controlled by the Diif Thumbwheel inside the car. Each light is only a rough guide as to the level of OPEN/Close the diffis at. even a little movement that does not show on the light indicator will still affect diff lock level. Russell

Defi do an AFR gauge but it is only the metric D-type, sold in the US and had a Black face that lights up Orange. Russell

AFAIK when I last spoke to him he would be out of touch until about the 12th of Jan. Don't worry though - he just has a few things to do. As has been already said, I believe Murray (mur69) knows him. Russell

There's aguy about 3 doors down from where I am staying in Chicago and he has one of these spoilers. It looks AWESOME in the flesh. I'd buy one if I had a MY05-06 Russell
