  1. ha, this is fun, easy to fit but now have "slightly" raised it....good 3" over stock I reckon, let's off road!
  2. Hey guys - just about to install BC coilovers, slightly confused on the instructions. Should there be a minimum of 8cm of strut INSIDE the lower sleeve ? The instructions are not that clear! cheers
  3. If a convertible then could still be worth doing the swap as no convertible gt4s were done ? Jeffrosie has a swapped one I believe.
  4. Think I spent £10 going to tescos and back just now 30 mpg up and back to Scotland though.
  5. That's was interesting, and showed results in a pretty exacting manner which was good. And prob answers why people either say loses power or gains power, depends on your driving style!
  6. Not really read this through http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/28/how-to-add-your-own-external-gps-antenna/ But you could add an extended antenna and fit somewhere higher up, with the phone hidden in the dash, to make sure the signal is good ? cool idea anyways
  7. Bought a cheap Chinese tracker that uses a simcard, not fitted it yet but looks straightforward andcsimikiar to your idea
  8. I think they have got rare enough they are cool again
  9. Work in HR too (Reward). And 90% of the time if I see a Gen 7 it's pretty much as above!! And never see enough Gen6s to see the demographic! I'm 40, deep in arrested development, and enjoy very much the driving of the silly car And never modded nothing till I got her
  10. Other half called it Digzilla after the engine transplant, I like it so that,s its (current) name!
  11. Sit there and wish they were driving like loonatiks through mud and gravel
  12. Don't know, never owned a 7. 6s have a touch of the crazy about them though, they want to be 90s rock rave loon bins in my opinion. 7s look nice and all, definetly. 6s have the mojo though.... 7s enjoy a pint and a laugh, 6s smoke crack and start fights with gorillas. Non-biased opinion.
  13. very nice pictures, will look good blown up as a poster for the front room then!

    Happy Anniversary digs!

  15. thanks splinter (plus that's how to do a celica, over the top, but everything for a functioning reason, love it), they look pretty good on yours ordered some white ones, will work out how to fit. Need to get rid of stock catch to fit bigger intercooler.
  16. The bonnet is getting cut up anyway to add in some vents, so I am to too worried about that. I no longer have air con, and there is the perfect space for the dmic, if the brace wasn't there. however, see below... Ended up getting some now. As I am cutting the bonnet up anyway, will fit these and remove (but store) the stock mechanism. In the future if can get a better custom mount as per jez.w mentioned, can always find a replacement bonnet etc thanks
  17. Ok, to get my intercooler in I am going to have to remove my oem bonnet latch, so looking at bonnet pins. Anyone used them and have any recommendations ? Is it a case of just aerocatch and ignore others, or has anyone had good experience with ebay ones ? Thanks Digs
  18. I got it from a guy in Canada, cam pretty quick, need to email him to get one, his email on at the bottom of his android app page linked to in the first post. Friendly guy, need to get to grips with the app a bit, works but not used to android so keep closing it!
  19. Just hooked it up briefly , nice and straight forward. Car is not moving anywhere at moment (3 wheels...) but interesting watching the graphs show timing etc. nice open loop indicator, and should also show when the knock sensor activates, though looking at the timing curve should show that to ! Interesting on the 3sgte, but I WISH I had this when I was playing with the 3sfte, would have been so useful to sus out basic tuning. When I eventually get round to buying a mark 1 rav4 (3sfe engine) will be turboing again....
  20. thanks yeah, a lot slower than the emanage logs, which will also log injector %, boost/map voltage, revs and tps. It's an experiment to see what/how useful the info can be. Particularly interested in timing, as that is not logged by the emanage, or temp. Even at 1.3 secs there still should be some useful data that can be analysed, will try to get it running tomorrow if have time. With the emanage, will be interesting to log both and compare.
  21. not sure, need to get it set up and report back. Could be good, could be meh, will check out the app and csv logs and see the granuality
  22. picture of it yes, plugs into diagnostic port, then connects via bluetooth to an android device, which then displays the readings, and can log as csv. Not sure of the functionality yet, looks like it will log; injector %, timing, idle air control, rpm, boost, throttle position, speed, o2 reading, mpg , coolant temp. intention is to log this and build up a base map, to help tweaking with the emanage if needed. Also check running ok as swapped.
  23. Will admit to being jealous of those with obd2! It's arrived, so once a borrow my brothers android tablet will get it set up and report back. Like to start logging some data, and see how it's running things
  24. I can see a convertor being much more flexible, so will keep my eyes open on that one Think I will get one for now though, and give it a test as I am curious, will report back. It has been tested on the ST205 WRC 3SGTE, though I am running the MR2 import ecu, should all be good, will give it ago! will be good to log timing etc to understand the basemap of the 3sgte, then setting up the emanage blue, timing in particular is not logged in the emanage blue, so if tweaked going by guess work somewhat.
  25. Unit is about £25 posted from Canada, sounds like it is worth a punt
