  1. The -6 part of the A1000-6 model code indicates that it uses -6 AN lines for supply and return. http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=8251
  2. Wow. That looks fantastic. You must be so pleased to finally get the car back and looking so damn good. Choose your wheels carefully. The right ones will really set it off perfectly. Congrats.
  3. Nope. Not unless the car is pre-1973.
  4. Well done Toby. You won it easily.
  5. UK spec or j-spec? J-specs didn't have a fog-light as standard so as it's an aftermarket fitment the fuse could be anywhere.

    418BHP with 1st CAT

    That's the most ludicrous thing I've read on here for quite some time! 42% drive train losses? Yeah right

    Hedge hogs

    In the early 90's, I was working late one night, getting a load of quotes done. About 3am I ran out of cigarettes so decided to take a break and shoot out to the local all-night shop to get some. En route to the shop, I'd just gone round a few sweeping bends when I saw what looked like a hedgehog in the road. I presumed he'd been hit already and was dead. So I carried on to the shop. On the way back I saw that the hedgepig was now on the other side of the road - he was alive! So I stopped the car and had a look at the little fella. He looked fairly OK apart from a crushed OSF foot. I guessed that has was probably more badly injured than I could tell but hey, he was still alive, so I decided to take him home and and get him looked at by a vet if he survived the night. I picked him up to put him in the car but oh boy did he stink! Absolutely awful smell - so I put him in the boot of my car. I set off for home, driving really slowly so that the little guy didn't get chucked about in the boot. I'm crawling round the sweeping bends at 5-10mph when suddenly a police car appears behind me. I tried to wave them past but they just followed for a minute or two and then tried to pull me over. They put their blue lights on but I decided it wasn't safe to stop and that I'd get out of the bends first and then pull over in a bus stop which I knew was on the straight road ahead. So there we were, having the world's slowest ever police chase. After what seemed like an age we reached the bus stop and I pulled in. Two coppers got out and the one that did all the talking was a right sarky git. "Good evening Mister Mansell, where's the fire?" "What?" "Nevermind. Something wrong with your car?" "No" "Then why are you driving at 5mph and causing a hazard to other road users?" "I'm on a mercy dash" "Are you taking the piss son?" etc ect. Eventually I told them about 'Tripod the Hedgepig'. They had a look at him and then let me go. I put him in a paddling pool in my garage for the night but he was dead in the morning.

    Hedge hogs

    A hedgehog nearly got me arrested once. It's a long story I can't be arsed to go into ATM but I do like the little fellas. My dogs don't seem to like them much though.

    ECU Question!

    Might have blown the igniter pack. Do you have access to another one just to test it? It's the flat box looking by the top of the nearside suspension... http://xs121.xs.to/xs121/07463/016ignitorpack.JPG
  10. I'm not sure what you mean, explain?
  11. Oh, right. Thanks.
  12. Yes, I know. I was pointing out that Martin didn't believe what JamesMark had written 'on the internet' in this very thread. Nevermind.
  13. Not if JamesMark wrote it.
  14. Well 795mb actually Sounds good - getting it now. You've got a chipped 360 iirc - right? Really want to get mine chipped now. Can you recommend anyone?
  15. HOLY SHIT! Can that be right? So much torque right across the rev range! And from such low revs! Wow.
  16. Yeah that's the theory. Are you sure Mark said he'd actually seen it happen though? Can't see it myself. You'd have to making some really bad gear changes for it to have a even the slightest chance of coming off, surely?
  17. I wouldn't bother myself, but if you are worried about those two bolts you could always use one from an Auto TT - they don't have that silly shock absorber affair on the belt tensioner.
  18. How much experience does she have already? Proper driving is not really something you can learn quickly, is it? Isn't experience the main thing? I'm presuming she's not 17 years old, right? So why the rush now?
  19. I was just wondering... if, hypothetically, my friend had dropped my their last can of Stella on a hard tiled floor at, for arguements sake, 23.55 BST when would be the earliest they could open it without needing to replaster the ceiling before SWMBO notices?
  20. The joys of aftermarket tat bodywork, eh? I had exactly the same problem with my VeilSnide front bumper from Miami GT/Miami Rice. I believe the bumper is now scrap because of that rotating fitting. "YPCYPT"; quite ironic really.
