    ASBO - Judge, Jury, Executioner

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Back in July I was issued with an ASBO because of how loud the chatter from the car was (lol)

    Then last night when i was driving home from work, I was pulled over by some traffics who were doing a speed trap. Which was weird as i was doing about 50 at the time.

    Turned out i had overtaken an off duty police officer who had considered my overtake to be "Inconsiderate"

    Absolutely no way to contest this, he need not provide any proof. basically i was fucked.

    Recovery firm were called, and after a few blocks of wood were placed, the car was on the back of a lorry.

    A couple hours later, and £150 lighter, i got the car back.

    Absolutely gutted, worst feeling ever watching you car being taken away.

    And it just doesnt seem right that they can do all that, without any form of appeal or without any actual proof.

    Where to Buy Crank Seal

    Awesome thanks, ill have a look for the dipstick seal. And ill start praying that its that lol.

    If it is the crank seal, is this the correct item to buy:

    There is another crank seal available, but it says gearbox side, and is £50!

    TD04 Feels slower than CT9

    in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust

    Wondering what would cause a TD04 at 1bar to feel slower than a CT9 at 1bar boost.

    My mates been running his TD04 for about a month, and id agree with him, after driving it, that it just doesnt feel as quick as it did with the CT9.

    According to his boost gauge, its boosting fine, with no leaks, and its at full boost around 3600 rpm. Just doesnt seem to have the same kick as it did.

    Could it be that its just alot smoother?

    Cheers

    HKS EVC I've - Auto Adjusting my Offset

    in Electronics

    Posted · Edited by Weyro

    The offset on mine is how aggressively the Controller will find peak boost.

    100 is Neutral

    Your turn it down to say 80, which will make it spool quicker, but also more likely to overboost.

    Turning it up, to say 120, will make it take longer to reach peak boost, but less chance of overboosting.

    (on an external gate its the other way around)

    The EVC I've, will adjust itself slowly if you over or underboost, which is annoying, for me :D

    I found out to turn off the feature, you turn the car on, turn the evc off, hold MOD, and switch the SW-PO switch, then let go of MOD and switch it back.

    note: damn forum keeps changing I V to i've
