http://www.wheelbase...lloy_Wheels__33
Reps

They go the same way so on one side the blades are facing forwards and the other side facing backwards. I looked into these wheels around a year ago but didnt wana mess with spacers and handling to much.

Car looks fantastic and im sure equally as functional, one of my fave VX's

Spotted that too. Pretty sure it's the newer 2.0 LNF direct injection turbo engine. thumbsup (Wonder how they fit this "ecu-wise" into a vx, as an LNF ecu is normally pretty integrated with other CAN vehicle systems...)

Yes, in the oposite side the blades facing in the right way. The manufacturer did not bother to do different wheels on each side.

Shame as I bet they do a great job of cooling the brakes and drawing air out from under the car ...... on one side anyway :D

View of engine bay


What happened with the Z20LET?
Looks more like a newer LNF or Z20NET/Saab turbo lump...


Z20LET is placed at the corner of the workshop, and here is Z20NHH (also Opel).

So far, there is no stand alone ECU for direct-injection engines. Yes it's stock ECU, only soft is changed to stand alone aplications.

There are a few standalones capable of DI ;) Adaptronic e1280 has optional external drivers, or the Skynam Commander 44 for example but the stock LNF ECU is perfectly capable, so nothing wrong with it if you managed to make it work fine standalone

A year ago to find ECU, we went to pectel and motec and both replied that they are working in that direction, but do not yet have a product.

Very interesting... I had heard of a few in the US, but nobody on several ecotec forums could point me to this software calibration that can run the LNF ecu in stand-alone. (so without other CAN integrated on-board systems.)
