I know, very local now! - I regularly pass the place in Norwich that we did a dyno day at, many years ago. I'm very much in the throws of moving, so all my old Supra docs, are 'somewhere'! Let me know when you get a chance to swap units, if that doesn't cure it, I'll make a concerted effort to dig out all my old info. Going by memory, it was a simple addition of 10k ohm resistors connected to 12v supply to buffer the ABS signal wires... Simples!

Ahh, yes I remember the rattly unit now. I also remember the charges that Racelogic put on supposed, 'no fault found' units. Sadly, I don't have any kicking around any more. But when you do get to plug another one in, once you've set it up, if you're still seeing those spikes on the wheelspeed sensors, I would first try to fit some pull up resistors. I suggested to Racelogic, that this be built into the units years ago, as I found the problem on several cars. It was dismissed at the time though, as a redesign would be too costly, and affected such a small number of cars it wasn't worth it. I'm now living in East Ruston, not too far from North Walsham. 'Tis a strange place, where these 'North-Folk' live. Full of strange place names, spelled in ways that make absolutely no sense to the British language in their pronunciation! - Happisburgh = Hazebro, Wymondham = Windum, Hautbois = Hobbis, Costessey = Cossey... And they're just the ones near me!!!

Scott, I stopped playing with American cars about 5 months ago. I've now moved to Norfolk, and working on a complete career change. my current car, (rather embarrassingly), is a Honda CR-Z hybrid! After commuting to Norfolk, it made far more sense than the Mustang did!!! Ian, can you remember what it was that we did to get your RLTC working last time? - Was it 'pull up' resistors on the ABS lines? - If so, it might be worth checking the common connection of the resistor connections, or even, (if the fronts are behaving properly), the 'legs' on the resistors themselves, as are really easy to snap if you were wiggling wires around.

Hi Scott and Michael, Yeah, it's been a very long time! So much so, it almost felt nostalgic posting on here! I do pop by from time to time. I hardly recognise any of the names on here now, but I saw Ian was having a problem, which sounds very much like an issue I found when I used to fit lots of RLTC units. So I thought I'd see if I could help.

Hello Ian... Remember me? I haven't been on here for a heck of a long time! - Have you sorted this yet? - It looks very familiar to something I used to come across, usually on facelift cars.

It's a bit short notice, but I thought some of you local guys might fancy this. There's some very interesting cars attending, (and some not so interesting), and not much in the way of Supra's yet ;-) 9am start though! /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif Pistonheads Jan 2nd meet

Yep, American Car imports, Ford Mustang, F150, Dodge Ram, Hummer, Viper. We do 'em all at http://www.newport-imports.com

Daman, you seem to know quite a lot about this... You know what I'm going to ask next

There's still time for a career change Chris

What a good idea to put http://www.newport-imports.com in my signature Thanks for that!

Fair comment. But if you were looking to buy a Mustang, what would you enter? - I just entered 'Mustang for sale', and if you select pages from the UK, we aren't even on there! (Well, I got bored after page 5 )

Hmm, that would be very interesting. He's been doing it for about 5 years now. Probably longer! Our website is http://www.newport-imports.com I'd be very interested to see what you can find

This must be what our guy is doing. But, what exactly is he doing? - Sorry if that's a dumb question. If you type 'American Cars' into Google, we're about 10th down the list. Most of our competetors are above us, so are they doing a better job with their website, or SEO, or is our guy doing a rubbish job?

I don't really have many pictures of it for some reason. I've just attached one, but I've lowered it since that picture was taken. The guy doing our SEO doesn't have access to our website, so that's confusing. He kept mentioning 'backlinks' whatever that is. I'll have a read of the wiki link though. Thanks for that.

We are currently paying someone for this service, but nobody seems to really know whats involved, and unsurprisingly, the guy doing it won't tell me. Any help or advice is much appreciated

I'm driving a rwd Yank tank, and loving every minute of sideways action!!! - It's crap in the snow... Brilliant!!!

Poof!

Actually, yes. The thought of free food and watching you cook, is a temptation too good to turn down I'm hoping Mig will venture down with me too

You need to aim higher mate

Hmmmm, do I smell free food?

ye, I've done it twice. However, the last time I did it was about 5 years ago, so I'm afraid my information is now limited. If I recall correctly, you need to wire them up with a couple of relays in the same way as you would a central locking motor, reverse polarity. The first one took me a couple of hours to do, as I was working out how to do it, the next time, it only took about an hour, and most of that was fitting the mirrors! Good luck

Yep, I can confirm that they never had it as a factory option.

I think I've got one, but I can't get into my garage until Sunday. If you don't have any luck by then, let me know and I'll dig it out for you.

Yep, stock cams on all three. I'm not sure any of them were dyno'd at the time... Circa 500 @ 1.4-1.6 bar I would guess...

If you use the adaptor lead, you can completely remove the old amp wiring giving even more space... Not to mention it's a damn sight easier as most aftermarket units have an ISO plug fitted to them so the radio installation is much, much easier.
