Ahhh I really should of mentioned on the forum that they are actually really long and the reason why I think I get away with them is the fact the base of the holes is quite deep and then have the external nut which makes them look a lot shorter than they actually are

I also had to replace the intake pipe between the MAF and the throttle body for reasons you will see

Is the car running better for the new pipe?

My car is a joke without the supercharger! I can't wait to pick up the jig and the cradle(s) on Wednesday!

No it wasnt running any better but then on my way back from lowestoft I tried some slightly lower octane fuel haven't really put my foot down till this afternoon and suddenly all the power was back? not sure how long it is going to stay for this time of if it is something to do with the fuel I am using as had full power when I was on horrible asda fuel or what ever I could find and then I started using v-power again and the power disappeared. Really not too sure what is going on. Might try putting a resistor into the knock sensor wiring just to fool the ECU and see if it makes any difference

are you supposed to run your car on V-Power?

I remember reading somewhere that running a car on V-Power that the manufacturer doesnt specifically tell you to run on V-Power is no good? so mabee its that?

Well mine being a jap import means the ECU is mapped for 99octane fuel.. but I went for another drive this evening. I still dont have the final kick but it does seem to be pulling like a beast at the moment but I am unsure if it just feels like it is due to me driving it like a granny for over 11hours on wednesday.

and bahgeera in her new home

Now as I know people like videos give these a listen.... She sounds evil

Then I ended up getting a new Jap Spec ECU that I was going to use to check if my current ECU was the problem as well as a cusco strut brace

Now at this point i ended up changing the ECU's over and as i started it up smoke came out of the ecu and here is the results of that.

[Image: 20120607_204714.jpg]

So as you can see it is definitely not good. I have done as much as my electrical knowledge will let me and I am waiting for an auto electrician to come and sort it on Monday (fingers crossed). So she has been off the road sat in the garage since all this happened.

BUT this has not stopped other stuff going on

and also had these custom made
