I shudder to think what is wrong with it.

Hi and Welcome I've got one of these, does that count http://www.paradisetoyinc.com/Cars/3_5_ ... Z-713.html

Warranty. Senor, you make a laff joke have you seen my sig? Not enormous changes but enough to stuff any warranty

So no torque loss with all that free-flowing? wtee??

Nah, not for me, I don't much care about what it looks like under the bonnet (I had an Alfa v6 and after that no engine looks good). I`m banking on a cheaper ECU reprogramme for a few more lb/ft

Push it out on to the public roads then call the police. Deny all knowledge of how it got there.

Excellent!

Tasty stuff. Are you buying them or have you already got some? these 5zigens look a bit smarter... http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... rentCat=30

So did you work out why you couldn't dump out my ECU Paul? Have you had success dumping another one? Cheers Chris

Forton services, just before 3.00pm Saturday. Check! See you there Martin, you were the first other Z I ever saw after buying mine so it will be interesting to see if it is still as shiny after a year or so

Mine is so hopelessly dirty I think I may just give up and go for the wooden spoon award

I`ve got the KW spanners from when Phil fitted mine. I'm not exactly offering to get down in the dirt but you are welcome to borrow them. Co-incidentally, I was there to get my suspension fitted the day you drove off in your new car! I remember you stalled it after about 5 feet (sorry) but you were very excited! If you want, PM me nearer the time or I will forget!

I never said a thing.

...yet What do you mean

I visited RS Tuning on Wednesday and they tried to read the ECU. Its only a small place but there is a 4-post lift, Dyno and all the gear. Clean too which is noce. It looks like they do quite a few of the usual suspects but seem rather keen on Renault as a speciality. No comment on that for now I think. Anyway they come across as very friendly and capable people which does engender confidence (sorry Guys, i missed getting your names). The software requires a dump of the ROM which is sent off and patched to allow further tuning to be done. What the software can do looks pretty good and there shoudl be plenty of scope for decent tuning once everything is up and running. Anyway, the software wasn't playing ball. It identified my ECU as a C700 but the software resolutely refused to dump it out, even though it said that the security status was ok and the ecu was ready. This seemed possible to be that it only had about 5 different security codes on file (JDM, 2 EU variants, a rev-up and a post 2006), We tried to crack the ECU security and that went well - but then .net crashed and the codes were lost. There were some mutterings about Vista so we switched to an XP laptop, and tried again but at this point I didn't have enough time left to wait for the full cracking program to run as it takes about 20 minutes. There was some talk that the software wasn't allowing a dump because it already had a C700 ROM on file, but that seemed a bit thin to me. Personally I reckon it just needs to crack the security code first to get proper access and it's a shame I ran out of time to allow them to take a second go at it. I think they are going to get in touch with the manufacturer for some advice just to be sure. Guys, if no-one else has been able to get to Leeds by next week I can come again on Tuesday 12th if that helps. keep us informed. Cheers Chris

I have some tomatoes in the fridge, I'm setting up a rival company.

We don't have poisonous spiders in the UK either but I still get freaked by them

I consider myself

can be there at about 4 - 4.30pm today if you are quick as i have to be away form Leeds before the rush hour starts!

Two Z's. Silver 54 plate at Powburn services on Sta morning, with a nice 5zigen exhaust Silver 56 plate on the Wooler-Morpeth road at about 8pm, giving it some beans on the nice roads

Well it's peeing it down here at the moment

Improve delivery of air to the front two cylinders which are a little starved by the standard plenum chamber design. The engine runs more efficiently and you get a noticeable shift of torque down the rev band, which is nice
