bigsigh

its an 02/03 jap import ST

excellent , atleast its not inside the gearbox i might do a guide when i do this

does anyone have a guide for changing this over , or even have a picture of where it is located ? Is it an easy DIY job?

if the stock ecu doesnt like unleaded, would it not be more cost effective to ditch it and plumb in another pnp unit ? Something like megasquirt, adaptronic or aem ? then spend time on the rollers for a good tune

if something appears to be too good to be true.... old and retired he may be , stupid im sure he isnt

That is a stunning looking zed. If you sell this you need beaten with your own shoes until you turn the same shade of blue as your car... Good luck with the sale

it has been a few years since i imported anything from the states but most new car parts attract 21-22% import duty +vat +handling fee there are a few exceptions - if the parts are sent as 1. warranty return items 2. samples - no commercial value 3. gift with a value of no more than £36 then they will not attrace duty / import tax commercial samples or warranty returns are the best i have found I am in no way condoning evading C&E or paying taxes.

would a uk ecu work in an import of the same year plug and play ?

stu , if you are stuck for an engine try this guy he is a large breakers yard in northern ireland - eddie torrens 02827668948 http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... g/89162395 Montgomery distribution in portadown could deliver it for £100 ish via pallet

probably very bad taste but this made me chuckle a little I'm not an apple fan myself but he knew how to make things happen. it will be interesting to see how apple move forward.

just saying ....in fairness i was a bit lazy and copied & pasted it from a post on another forum i use and it was never meant to read as a for sale advert, sorry... all edited and cleaned up now though.
