first of all, thanks for you responses. Well I do have a gregs manual but can't find anything about the ecu in it, the electrical section is fairly basic and the book doesn't cover EFI or Turbo models anyway. Now - When you turn the car on, the warning light takes about 5 minutes to come on. During ...

Roof Scoop on WRC cars

There is something that has been bugging me for a while now. On some of the WRC cars there are 2 'units' and a bunch of antennae, one is quite small and I think houses a camera - for those on board shots.

And in the past i've found that once you get the lines off, you can pretty easily beat/squash/whatever the hex back into place. For typical bolts i just squash the hell out of the flats in a vice makes the hex like new again! But i wouldnt go squashing the hell out of a brake line bolt hex - or els...

I have also thrown some 195/75/R14 retreads on it I started off not kno...
