Prawny Baby Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 it's a wideband AFR setup Lukas, it actually displays a constant red number on the dial, but due to frame rates it appears to flash / scroll on video!

RobinJI Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Duncy, to check the CV joints jack it up in gear, then rock the wheel back and forth to take up the slack, there will be some slack in the diff, but there shouldn't be any real amount in the CV joints. Prawn, photos look cool. I need to discuss the Scirocco's plans with you sometime, in a kind of related to your post sort of way. TROYston, if you take more photos, find the HDR option and turn it off occasionally It can be a nice effect, but leave it on all the time and it just looks wank, takes all the depth out of the photo and just makes it look garish. (No offence intended, I mean that in a completely constructive way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 You have the Jolfa seal of approval ...Could go a touch lower though I need a sticker saying that! haha. It can't go lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jealous of the track action, although I do have some fun things planned for March. I've been looking around at second hand td04 turbos, and getting pretty frustrated. Very few sellers state what type of exhaust flange their turbo has.

Prawny Baby Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Most will be t25 flanged will they not? Or Subaru use the td04 on some imprezas with the 3 bolt ihi flange as let td05? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I imagine you're right, thanks for the info. I wonder weather those Subaru's used a flat or conical or angled flange? I need the conical sort, which seem to be rather rare even in the Volvo world. EDIT: I'm an idiot. It's actually the flat flange type that I need, which makes me slightly happier.

Prawny Baby Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 aaaaaaaaaah, if it's volvo fitment td04's AndyP would be your man. I'll point him in this direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 To you mk4 platform boys. do you know anyone after 312mm/256mm brakes? Brakes are from a 4 motion golf. So rears need a 6mm washerto fit 2wd platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Pete.M, Just realised you'd probably shoot your load over my friend Dave's 240 GL, really cool car in my eyes: Decided my Scirocco's going to get a cheap poly-bush set, and a bit more boost then I'm going to leave it alone for a while before doing a load of stuff at once in the summer. Depends how work goes money wise but hopefully I'll be able to put the money aside to make it a pretty cool and unique car. PS, Nick knows most of the plans, but I've decided it'll be secret until it's finished. (So stay quiet Nick!)

Pashley26 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I know your plans too. - Spam. Car's running really weird and requiring loads of throttle to make boost; but then once it's made boost it's really quick. Can't work out why, and it's annoying me. EML is due to the removal of VVT which will be replaced next week when I have chance to remove the chain and VVT cartridge and swap it back.

Pete.M Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Jardo, not sure what you mean by removal of VVT, but could that not be the issue?? Robin, I would indeed shoot my load over that, haha. I almost asked you about it when I saw a bit of it via facebook, I so wish they were as cheap as 940's. Looking forward to seeing how your Scirocco progresses too.

Pashley26 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 No! I'll swap the VVT unit across, I just need the right tool wen Phil's finished with it. It's only a twenty minute job! I did a fair amount of the work on the head, I did all the removal and the fitting of the tensioners and water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 haaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa You told me removing the VTT was fine..... You told me it wouldn't throw a light or code..... Set Point Not Reached, as I told you would happen Surely this new performance sensation is just the linear throttle mapping Niki did? everyone who's had it says it feels flat until full throttle, which is the whole point in linear throttle mapping, rather than the nasty ''All the power at half throttle'' sensation you normally get?

AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 You just need to get a real engine with a steel wire from pedal to throttle bodies In related news, here's a seemingly fictional graph (apart from the AFR) I paid £60 for at CRD Performance (also call themselves F1 Automotive) in Bolton. I suggest steering clear of these idioits! On the flip side, Brakes International are winners and replaced my leaky MX-5 front calipers without question (I neglected to tell you about those on Sunday, Nick (A) ).

AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Indeed! Yeah, but it's clearly bollocks... Just some 'evidence' to show how crap that company is.

Prawny Baby Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 whaaaaaaaaaat the foooook???? 16.5:1? tailpipe probe? ouch! How did they crack your dash? Pretty horrific by the sounds of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Indeed. Yeah, tailpipe probe. I have a boss in the exhaust to fit the LC-1 they were using but they didn't use it... The guy managed to wedge his knee against the dash trying to get in, CRRAAACKK! I pointed it out and he didn't even apologise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
