A selection of the parts I already have that will hopefully end up fitted:


Head - partially stripped and nearly ready for a bit of porting:




Throttle body (as above really)


TMS carbon centre console


Harnesses


Wheels with Kumho V70As (ie dry weather only!)


Gearbox breather


Sub (really don't know what to do about this )

welcome back Mandarin.

[SamVx]

A few areas need a bit of attention, the paintwork is quite scratched, haven't yet decided whether to take the plunge and buy myself a random orbital, or whether to simply pay someone else to do it There's quite a bit of water getting into the lights - so out with the heat gun and tigerseal

I've got a UDM, transformer and some polish you could borrow in exchange for a few beers?
I've also got a broken UDM, which was replaced for free under the warranty. Was going to fix it and stick it on eBay as I think it's just the motor brushes that need replacing....

Very nice - I may be a few years behind eveyone but what happened to the mandarin?

Nice car you have. Black is my favourite colour i think, but on a VX i think i would prefer a more stand outish colour. Orange maybe... Just need a full Piper 2.5" system on it now as your venturing in to the world of tuning now All in stock, just a phone call away..... Kind Regards Garry Curley Race Product Development Dept

garry did you sort the EML problem?

I had a nice chat with Jon at Courtney regarding this problem yesterday and he confirmed my suspicions, that the ECU has very very tight parameters with what the lambda sensors can see and be happy. So basicaly any change of cat to a more freer flowing item will bring the light on as its measuring outside the parameters its looking for. The only proper answer to this is to fit a standard spec cat in the system, but this would defeat the object of a sports cat. We have checked the car and it still passes an MOT emissions test so i think we may have to leave it as it. Jon did say that he can supply a "Eliminator" kit that tricks the signal to the ECU from the lambda sensor. This will probably the best bet i feel to provide a long term cure for this problem
