To be honest I don't think it's really going to make any difference to you John, resetting the ECU, if you haven't made any changes to the car. If you change to using a different octane rating of petrol, put in a new air filter (thereby changing the breathing of the engine), or make other engine mods, then yes. But I don't think it'll change anything if everything else is still the same.

It won't hurt to try it though ! Big Grin

On the underneath of the fusebox cover, there's a diagram showing which fuse is which :wink:

No, it's not a big block, they are both small ones.

Collected the car early today from the bodyshop after having my trd (replica) kit fitted. It looks lovely and so sutal yet makes a big diffrence to the look of the car also had bonnet and front bumper sprayed.
Also had afew things I was not expecting thrown in for free like all the chips where touched up and they spent an hour sorting out the dodgy fitted headlight washer cover. Also they said they would valet it I was only expecting exterior one but noticed they had done interior one too and looking closer I noticed they managed to remove the chewing gum on the carpet and oily hand marks on a pillar.

Will upload pics tomorrow as not had time to get any yet

I paid just over £900 for the fitting of the kit, spraying the kit, taking the bonnet back to bare metal and sprayed also the front bumper to be resprayed (which took hours as been sprayed and touched up so many times before i owned the car).

Heres the pics-

Front splitter-

Rear splitter-

Bonnet (look at reflection of the sky)-

Boot (this is not resprayed just polished well. Thought would include it just to show how well it polishs up)-

My outlaw stickers-

Only think i will say is that in the indent in rear splitter the fibre glass has bubbled, so me and my dad are going to sand it back and respray it satan black.


next on the list is sort the wheels out, spray rear splitter indent black, gold badges or keep silver and replace 200 with trd, get 2 trd stickers for the side skirts, possible lower car on trd spring (another 20mm lower) or find facelift sport spring (drop another 5mm) uprated anti roll bars, some struts, sports grill. Sort out nice ice instill. This is in no order lol
