Graham1984 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sorry for buying your lovely car! Haha I'm sure you'll find something nice, and eventually get another supra! What about something like a Reliant Robin? Then you can rob a bank and escape the police and buy a TT! [emoji12] I was thinking about a Robin Reliant and then making an unusual rolling entrance to the Bluewater meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What's your insurance like on a TT then? Mines around £600 on the NA Circa £900 all mods declared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I sent the V5 off to DVLA yesterday afternoon so should be with you early next week at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooo you can't have it back now! [emoji13] It's great just been to work and back and driving around where I live. Need to wash it tomorrow its seriously dirty! Also I unwrapped that manifold at work today and found some nasty cracks so I gave it to the welders to fix! [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji1] http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/25/5ef8b9e8a19a6a8272cf36e328a75c59.jpg I never did unwrap that from when I brought it. Makes me wonder how long it was like that for. I have a thread somewhere about that manifold. It certainly makes me glad that I brought another 1st decat and went back to stock manifolds.

Graham1984 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dirty already, I only washed it Saturday Get that Mine's ecu checked out too. That's a nice add on for NA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it make much of a difference when it was on? Yeh I'll look at the ecu soon! Did it destroy the mpg? And I know but iv done nearly 300 miles and most of it in the rain!

After seeing the cracks I personally would just bin it now. The decats feel better too in comparison. The Mines ecu optimises fuel and ignition timing making it more aggressive. The fuel drop off was not really any worse (if at all) to be honest from memory. Just keep using the 2 trip options on the odo to monitor fuel consumption/cost, to give yourself a rough average. It used to cost around £50 for 200miles when unleaded was over £1.30 a litre, I think I was getting around 200miles per £35 the last month plus.

Ok I'll open it up and check the board, I'll probably install it in the spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'think' it was playing up due to condensation where the window was not sealing properly, which hopefully I once and for all solved the day before you picked it up. If it wasn't condensation then it's more likely a dry solder on the boards somewhere. Due to being a locked ecu it might be harder to solve as it can't have data transferred like they do to fix stock ecu's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
