Priviledge wanted a tracker fitted to a 2001 Wrx before they insured me.

I might have one in the garage, I'll check.

You're very lucky then, because part of the eSVA test the emissions are tested and added to the V5, technically if your car was imported and registered after the cut off date you should be paying £400+. Just be thankful for the muppets at the DVLA.

There is E85 BioEthanol available(at least it was) at the Morrisons supermarket. Not to be used unless mapped for though.

No not mine, looks very similar, right down to the Recaro's and crystal repeaters, jdm rear lights etc. V.Nice.

Plenty in Rosyth.

Looks like it might be my old car, what's the last three digits of the reg?

Who is saying that Shell are intorducing E85? This isn't true!! At best they will be introduce V-Power with a 5% bioethanol content as per EU regulations, that's it.

That's been around for a while now, full throttle and double tap the de-mister.

The reverse engineering of the ecutek lock/protocol is no different to what ecutek did with the subaru/Denso one. There is no license, that's merely a marketing term imho, I certainly never seen nor agreed to one when I had my map. I agree this shouldn't be used to steal maps, however, it is handy if you have one of the ecu's that can't be unlocked. I now have a non-ecutek ecu and have played about with LC, it works well, it'll build 10 or so psi stationary. Dual maps are available but only a few Roms are supported. I'd be willing to help anyone out that wanted to get started using OS to log or map, just give me a shout.

Just to add that there is no proof that ECUEdit is pirate, far from it. They've obvioulsy reversed engineered the ECUTek handshaking protocols(lock) but that's no different to what ECUTek/ECUFlash have done with the Subaru/Denso ECU.

Hi Andy, I'm sure you can understand my query, that's a good 4-500rpm before I would expect a VF35 to make that boost, kinda makes you think whats the point of the twin scroll if the single scroll turbo can spool as well. I'd go as far as saying that's one of the quickest spooling VF35 in the world, good claim to fame! I'm away to blow it through my hoop, not looking forward to it!! Cheers, Paul

The VF35 doesn't spool that fast mate. What gear was this in, are you using your boost gauge to verify that or is it via laptop? Edit - Unless you are on a 2.5, but even that is a push.

1.6 bar at 2800rpm, that's the same as my VF36, I'd need to see some logs/graphs to beleive that one!

Boyd still has no clue how to hold the ball up, has no idea how to jump for a ball and his first touch is non-existant. It's all very well hammering the goals in against diddy teams, but it's been seen time and time again, against half decent opposition or even away from home he doesn't cut it. I'm a buenose and an ex-season ticket holder btw in case anyone calls me out for being one of them!

LOL, happened to me last night too.

Anyone attempt to make it into work today in Fife, it's horrendous!

You've clearly never driven a Spec C mate....

You won't be disappointed with a Spec C, awesome car!!

You could add a couple of litres to a tank, it works well as an octane booster, only really any use when mapped for though. Higher percentages will require bigger injectors, but along with the increased knock resistance you get better spool due to the fact that E85 is oxygenated. If I lived closer to Dundee I'd map my car on E85, but it's just to far away.

3. Will the E85 bring the RON values up and will it have any effect on the running of highly tuned vehicles? I can answer this one. E85 is typically around 105+ octane, but you do require 30% more flow than petrol, obviously a remap is essential. Big power cars will need huge injectors/ fuel delivery systems, even at 400 odd bhp you're looking at needing 750-800cc injectors. Running 5% bioethanol in regular fuel will increase the RON rating(Tesco do this to acheive 99RON), ECU fuel trims can easily compensate for this amount of bioethanol.

I could have a look at this for you, let me know. I'm in Dunfermline.

The EU have stipulated that all fuels have to be at least 5% bio fuels, so Shell will be adhering to that. As far as Tesco 99 goes, I've never heard of the problems mentioned above, Duncan Graham used to run his Time Attack car on the stuff.

^Exactly, the price of Crude oil is hovering around the $70 a barrel at the moment, yet the prices are around the same as when it was $140 a barrel, sickening!

Hi Alistair, For the odd thing, not much now tbh. ECUEdit is far, far superior, not open source I know, but just makes analysing logs etc so much easier. Cheers, Paul
