Mine's a funny plastic cylinder pump, it pumps air or fluids. It looks like a kids toy, but is very handy. I couldn't find any hose of the right thickness or I would have probably done it that way, just popped into the local motor place and saw it on the shelf!

1. could be a knackered shock, but it could also be loose subframe bolts, which is quite common on the front at least. If you search for a thread called "I don't rattle any more" or something like that you'll find some info. Worth checking anyway. As for 4, I would check the big pipes that go to and from the intercooler, along the front and up and into the throttle body. I had one loose a while ago that made a spooky wooooo noise.

Welcome aboard, now all you have to do is learn your way round the New Forest so you don't get lost at the next meet we have there .

No, all it does it light up a warning lamp if it gets too hot, which it won't when tied out of the way

It's not that bad if you use a pump to get the new oil in - I bought one from the local motoring shop. I posted something about it a while ago. Oh, and make sure you use the correct oil from Toyota, and undo the fill plug before you undo the drain just in case you can't get it undone, otherwise you'll be stranded with no gearbox oil.

Well I'm no great expert on this, but it's a cost-benefit thing really. By the time you've bought all the bits you need for an AEM it'll probably cost what, £1400 or so? Plus it's gonna cost you more in mapping time. Whereas an Emanage setup would be more like £400. The AEM is more flexible and can do extra stuff, but is it worth the extra? In either case you'd probably want a boost controller, if you go the Emanage route you might as well make it the Profec E01 and that would allow you to fiddle with the Emanage in the car and view stuff in real-time. Here's some advantages and disadvantages for a starter, I'm sure someone with some more knowledge of stand-alones can add to these: Stand-alone Advantages Complete control over maps means you know exactly what it is going to do at any point. More flexible. You can get it to do stuff like anti-lag and change maps depending on the state of various sensors. It plugs straight in (I think) so you don't have to wire it into the loom. Disadvantages Significantly more expensive. You have to set up your maps from scratch, which is going to take much longer (and hence be more expensive). Emanage Advantages Quite a bit cheaper. Uses the ECU base maps, so you don't have to worry about cold-start and idle maps etc. That means less mapping time. If you have the Profec E01 you can use it to display and monitor things in real time. Disadvantages Bit of a pain to wire in (not so bad using a Fields harness) You know what modification you are making to the base map, but you don't always know exactly what the ECU base map is doing. E.g. with ignition timing you can modify the standard timing, but you can't see what the actual value is, just your modification to it.

Hi Vanessa! No need to be nervous posting round here, most of us talk complete shite half the time anyway!

You can get the E01 to display the correct units, you put in the conversion factor. As for widebands I don't really know, I've ordered a AEM one (without display), but it hasn't arrived yet. Some of them have serial outputs so you can hook them up to a laptop directly, but you don't need that, just a 0-5v output. I think whether you go for the PC based approach or the E01 depends on whether you have a laptop and boost controller already and if you want to analyse the logged data on a big screen without having to sit in your car.

Nice one!

Nice, that's what I was thinking of doing, was going to go to Halfords tomorrow and have a look. Cheers!

Ash, what did you do about this in the end? My MOT is due soon and I haven't got any side repeaters now. Did you bodge on some temporary ones or did they let you get away with it?

Cheers mate! My ISP pulled them because I'd exceeded the bandwidth limit I never knew I had!

This is my setup (mainly because I haven't got a laptop!). The E01 connects to the Emanage by the same port you use to connect it to a PC, but you use a standard USB cable to do it. If you wanted to use the PC software you would have to get one of the special cables, unplug the E01 and plug your PC in, then swap back when you've finished. The E01 will let you adjust all the same stuff you can with the PC support tool, and it logs all the same stuff too to an SD memory card which comes with it. It can log 3 hours worth, but you can't then transfer this to a PC, you have to view it on the display of the E01. You can't use the same trick Ian has for the WB with the E01, but you don't need to. You can get an external signal harness that lets you hook up a couple of analogue and pulsed signals which it will then log and display alongside the others. So you hook your wideband up directly to the E01 (not the Emanage) and you can then display your AFR in realtime too. That means you can use the AEM wideband that doesn't come with a display, which is slightly cheaper.

There's this one;- or this one:- Not very clear though...

Think I prefer the Top Secret one myself, but it's bloody expensive I think.

Ha, that's pretty funny actually, I think I was the 2nd last to leave, there was only your car left! That's where that last scene at the end of my video came from!

Wow, this thread is a blast from the past! Nearly 3 years between posts, that must be some kind of record!

Yep, normal, it's just seems to be a way of joining the wires together.

Oh right. There's a program on the Yahoo group that will convert the data logs from the Support tool to an Excel spreadsheet so you can draw nice AFR graphs and stuff, have you seen that?

Well I don't see how it can log AFR, the Emanage has no way of knowing this, unless you use one of the inputs like the TPS or pressure sensor that you're not using to hook up a wideband. And how would it know power? I've not heard of it before, can't find anything on the Yahoo Emanage group either. Probably worth asking on there.

Hello! I've got my eye on a Trial rear bumper, be good to see one in real life, I don't think I've seen one.

I think it's safe to say I need a bit more practise launching the car! My 60ft times were abysmal! 13.6@107mph is the best I managed, I need to fiddle with the launch control settings (I turned it off for the last two) and get a whole lot more practise! I've finished editing the video now btw, you can find it here.

I've done the full video now, you can find it in this thread...

I've posted it on this thread...

Here's a short clip of Justin doing a run... Justin
