its a cobra cat1 alarm, the engine turns over fine, ive checked the terminals and there all tight. I cant understand why im loosing the settings on the trip computer aswell though. would a ecu scan bring up any potential faults? cheers stu

hi guys, i have got a problem with my alarm, i went out in my car this morning and it was fine but when i went to lock it the alarm just made a continuous beep and wouldnt arm the alarm system or lock the doors!! also ive just noticed that the milage counter has reset itself along with the digital readings on the trip computer. ive reset the time but everytime i turn the car on and off it looses its settings. Any idea what it could be? i though perhaps it could be a fuse but ive checked all of them and they seem to be fine. any ideas guys, i havn't got a bloody clue about electrics etc so any help would be appreciated. :oops: cheers stu :wink:

hes using an o2j box from a mk4 golf, the origanal o2o box was just silly used to spin up in 4th!!! :shock: untill the diff exploded out the casing!! lol stu p.s mike im just up the road in bedhampton, me and my mate often take a drive up to goodwood circut in the corrado and the golf, usually on a saturday as they have all sorts up there, your welcome to come along, perhaps see if there is any other owners in the area and were go for a pint?

The internals havnt been touched, however these guys checked it over on the rolling road and all was dandy. http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/Gallery.htm Jim who owns this buisness is really the dogs danglies with anything with a turbo, checkout some of his previous projects. stu

it hasnt got mega power but its got absolutly bucket loads of torque!! It was recently rolling roaded at jkm motor services down in portsmouth on there dyno dynamics rollers, and it made the figures quoted above. it runs on a ko4 turbo setup its running around 20spsi at the moment. what turbo was ur 1.8t running coxylaad stu

my vr6 corrado :oops:

heres a short video clip of my mates mk2 golf, he has just finished installing a 1.8t and was mapped by qp enginerring on mbe managment. The car made 240 bhp and 320 lb/ft of torque. we both accelerated from 100mph in 4th gear and heres what happend :shock: 8) stu

thanks lads, looks like ive got a few phonecalls to make :wink: cheers stu

Ive just purchased some design 90 wheels and im struggling to find any where that will polish them for a reasonable amount of wonga!! :? So far the cheapest ive been quoted is £110 a wheel which seems like alot to me? :shock: Who do you guys get to polish your wheels or do you just do it yourself? im not shy of exerting a bit of elbow grease so what would i need to do them myself. Im willing to travel anywhere in the hampshire reigon to get them done, so if anyone has any contacts that would be great. cheers stu :wink:

hi ive recently just bought my 95 vr6 and mine had the same problem!! :x got it plugged in and it turned out to be the (crank reference sensor). Got a new one put in and bobs your uncle it was fixed. The sensor costs about £140 though :roll: stu
