Heyrick Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 So I was preparing to fit el-glo dials today and was trying to figure out the mess of wiring left by the importer's km/mph converter. I knew there should be a wire down to the ECU but couldn't see it. I went to look at the ECU end and found a Mines plaque on the ECU. That looks odd says I and a quick search on here reveals it's a great piece of kit for what I'm doing with the car. Uprated fuelling higher boost higher revs FCD Speed delimiter Thought it went well at the pod a few years ago! This follows the realisation the other day that it already had braided hoses on the brakes. It's nice to get free upgrades for a change. All this after 6 years of ownership!!

Swampy442 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It may be more than generic map tweaks mate, Mines ECUs can be built to order Email Mines in Japan with your serial number and they can tell you whats what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 On my drive home from Whifbitz after buying my UK spec a few years ago, I noticed there was no sound coming from the rear speakers. I had a play with the stereo settings, and suddenly there was loads of bass! When I got home, i removed the rear speaker covers to find 2x Kicker 8" Subwoofers professionally fitted (with very well made mdf mounts and loads of sound deadening) powered by 2x small JL audio amps under the passenger seat. There was nothing in the description of the car about this, so it was a very nice added bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a link where you can send the serial no. to Mines and they will tell you what they did. Will be doing that tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true time team fashion I now have enough info to draw pictures of the previous owner, his family and his house. I should be able to accurately predict their eating and sleeping habits as well as knowing the weather the day the voucher slipped out the back of the glove box!
