  1. Nick, for sure it is the F-con pro gold box. The tuner that mapped it first time put a password to i guess stop someone changing the mapping. I am taking my car to HKS to install the Hipermax suspension and have asked them to remap it but i hear they are very expensive, i am waiting for them to get back to me? Also there is a chance that the first guy that tuned that car saved a copy of the mapping so we are trying to get intouch with him Thanks for the info, i will keep you posted Neil
  2. Guys, This may sound a stupid question (but then my knowledge of car mechanics is zero) Anyway when I upgraded to a single turbo I also bought a F-Con Pro aftermarket ECU, I believe they used this to re-tune my car, but since the accident I had 4 months ago we are now having problems starting my car. I have been told that the memory in the F-Con has been lost and it now needs to be re-tuned (I think) also they said that there seems to be a problem with the stock ECU (I thought that once you have the F-Con you no longer use the stock one), is that correct?????? Sorry for the dumb questions but I am starting to think that someone here (in Thailand) is trying to get me to buy more than I really need? So my questions are; 1/. Do I still need the stock ECU 2/. Is it possible to loose the memory of the F-Con, as it is going to cost me a bunch to re program it Thanks Neil

    Stock ECU

    Guys, I have just been told that there is maybe a problem with the stock ECU (I just cant imagine why) before I had the accident there was NO problems with the electric’s or starting the car, when the car came to a stop after the accident the engine was running, also last month the car was driven from one shop in Bangkok to another shop even though it was rough running. Anyway I am just seeing what is the availability of a stock ECU if it is decided that I need one?
  9. Change of plan with the suspension, I am now getting the HKS Hipermax ll, the original plan was to go with The Tein Mono Flex but it would mean I would have to wait until the middle of February for them, but HKS Thailand has the Hipermax ll in stock at a price of ₤1100 fitted?
  10. Here here", I learnt the hard way and got away with a few bumps and bruises to both me and the car, I have now learnt to respect all this power: And for those of you that will mention the liquor as well, yes I have learnt my lesson there as well ;)

  14. I believe that they want me to get one because I am going with a 272 x?? I think 9 HKS cam. Sorry for being vague but I am not what you would call a boff when it comes to mechanics, I just rely on advice from people that I have come to trust, and of course a lot of great advice that I have received from this web site Neil
  15. Yes your right a crank dampner, do you know anything about them?
  16. I did this for two weeks with exersise and lost 9 klo's (1.4 Stone) it was really hard to bear especially the last week but the weight came off and stayed off "try it it works" Kick Start While health experts offer an endless array of weight-loss methods, these plans often take time and, being impatient, we lose hope. Now a new short-term eating plan may help people who are overweight to kick-start their weight loss. Below you will find the recipe and seven-day eating plan for stage one of the Kick-Start Soup Diet. *The information in this fact file was updated on June 18, 2003. The Kick-Start Soup Diet recipe (Makes enough for one person for two days.) INGREDIENTS • 3 tomatoes • 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes • 2 cans of liquid stock (beef, chicken or vegetable) • 2 cups of water • 1 packet of vegetable or French onion dry soup powder • 1 bunch spring onions • 1 bunch of celery, including leaves • 2 cups of green beans • 3 green capsicums • 1kg carrots • 2 stock cubes (chicken, beef or vegie) METHOD 1. Chop all the vegies into small pieces and put them in a big pot with the remaining ingredients. 2. Add salt and pepper (not too much salt). 3. Boil rapidly for two minutes and simmer until it's nice and tender. 4. If you want it thinner, add a bit more water. Have as much of the soup as you want, whenever you want. Seven-day eating plan The quantities recommended are per day. Avoid toast and cereal for breakfast while on this plan. Stick with the recommended foods for each day. You should only follow this seven-day eating plan for a maximum of three times in six months. • DAY 1. SOUP AND FRUIT: Eat any fruit except bananas because they are high in kilojoules. Eat as much as you want. If you don't want soup for breakfast have a fruit salad instead. • DAY 2. SOUP AND VEGIES, NO FRUIT: Eat as much fresh, raw or lightly steamed vegies as you like. Leafy greens are great but avoid peas, corn and dry beans as they are high in sugar. Reward yourself at night with a jacket potato, a little butter or better still, some yoghurt. • DAY 3. SOUP, VEGIES AND FRUIT: Eat all you want but no potatoes. • DAY 4. SOUP AND BANANA SMOOTHIES: Make a banana smoothie with low-fat or skim milk - it's a great source of potassium. Have a maximum of three large bananas per day. • DAY 5. SOUP, BEEF AND TOMATOES: Eat a piece of lean beef or a skinless breast of chicken no bigger than a stack of cards with six luscious tomatoes. Vegetarians can substitute tofu. These quantities are per day. You can go easy on the soup today. • DAY 6. SOUP, BEEF AND VEGIES: Eat plenty of beef (or skinless chicken or fish) and vegies today. Again, vegetarians can substitute tofu. You mightn't need soup as much but your body will tell you. No potatoes. • DAY 7. SOUP, BROWN RICE, VEGIES AND FRUIT JUICE: You might need more soup today. Remember: do not eat any bread, fried foods or oil on the seven-day plan. Drinks • While on the plan, do not have any soft drinks or alcohol. • You can drink unsweetened fruit juice or cranberry juice; black, green or herbal tea (you can have skim milk with black tea); coffee; skim milk and plenty of water - six to eight glasses a day. Side effects • Because you're not consuming many carbohydrates, some may find the glucose in their bloodstream becomes too low, causing hypoglycaemia. • This can cause a range of symptoms, such as headache, sweatiness, anxiety, irritability and drowsiness. • Don't worry, it might sound awful but it's easily fixed. • Have a sandwich with whole-grain bread, a slice of low-fat cheese and a bit of ham but no butter or margarine. Vegetarians can try a low-fat cheese and tomato sandwich. But only have a maximum of one sandwich per day. • If these symptoms occur repeatedly consult your doctor. Stage two So what happens if you haven't cheated? By the end of the seven days you may have lost as much as 4-6kg, if you haven't put on those walking shoes and gone for a daily walk you won't have lost as much. If you lose more than 6kg stay off the diet for a couple of days and then start again at Day 1. You should only follow this seven-day eating plan for a maximum of three times in six months. Once you've reached this maximum take six months off the plan and follow the low-GI program. Once you've completed the seven-day eating plan it is time to move on to stage two - a long-term, low-GI eating plan. Before starting any new eating plan you should consult your doctor to see if it is right for you, particularly if you are taking any medication.
  17. Thanks man. They are "Weds Sport" Borphes 19" x 10.5" rear & 19" x 9" front wrapped in Nitto rubber

  19. Well we are still plodding along trying to get it finished, the wheels that I ordered from Japan that were supposed to arrive in 3 weeks took 2 months so the TRD wide body couldn’t get fitted until the wheels arrived, well they arrive 2 weeks ago so we are now making some progress except that the paint shop is now closed for New Year (10 F*****G days) so it is now looking like the end of January before it will be finished. I have attached a couple of pictures that I took when we put the new wheels on. I was told on the 26th December when they shut up shop for New Year that the wide body is just about completely fitted and estimating that the paint job will be finished on the 20th January, then +/- one week in the engine shop to finish off the engine upgrade and re-tune everything and bobs your uncle I should be back on the road. I will update when I get more pictures Neil http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/8030/imgp1024copyhp5.jpg http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5718/imgp1028copyzm7.jpg http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7813/imgp1025copyza3.jpg
