  1. Anyone know where does the original PCV hose run to and can it be removed completely or terminated? I can't find anything on the interwebs about this side of the PCV system, everything is redirecting to the catch can and that's it.
  2. Happy Birthday Druid!

  3. Hi guys. Looking for a general mechanic to do a full service before taking my beloved to a tune shop (most likely chip torque). I live on south end of the Gold coast and my mechanic has shut shop due to personal problems. I pretty much want a full oil and grease change including trany and rear end, replace coil packs (plugs are 2 years old)check torque on bolts etc and service trany if nee be. Oh and find out if I have a dicky wheel berring. Any suggestions. Cheers
  4. Has anyone had problems setting the boost adjustment? I've tried -14.7, 14.7, 0.0, -20 and 20. Neither gives a close to accurat reading.
  5. I got an ELM a couple of weeks ago. There is a lot of actions and settings to make before you can link up. Basicly you need your phone on bluetooth discoverable, In the the torque app you need to go through pairing the phone to ELM etc, can be a pain in the ass for non tech heads like my mate who owns a FG, but I had no probs straight off the bat with mine or his. Once you have the phone, app and ELM as best of friends you need to set up a profile for the car. Usualy the menu button your phone will bring a a new menu for the app. There's a few youtube video's but they are pretty lame, mostly computer geeks with no idea about cars, but they do get the basics across. Good luck with the app, its worth having.
  6. Happy Birthday Druid!

  7. Dodgy coil pack. put it on the dyno and 1 of the new coil packs was dead. this was after a weekend of cleaning, checking gaps and blood sweat and tears. At least I know all is good now. 205kw at the wheels.Thanks for all the reply's guys. PS fuel filters are a right roil pain in the ass to replace.You definatly need a hoist to do the job.
  8. I think I will have no other choice after this, but taking it to a dyno tune.So fingers crossed after a weekend of TLC all will be well or off to the tune shop.
  9. Car is standard,I doubt it's due to dirty fuel as I rarely go into reserve fuel and I always use 98 ron.
  10. Hi guys. I've read so many posts on this topic and used almost all recomendations to resolve my issue. The story so far, I bought my BA MKII 1 and a half years a go, it has had a services in that time by a performance car mechanic that I can trust and 1 by the local ford dealer workshop. Ford being the 1st to do a log book service. Neither found or pointed out any problems. 1 day I noticed a major loss of power and bugger all revs going into gear change whilst heading up my favourit on ramp, I talked to my mechanic about it and he suggested it may be a lag setting by ford due to that I had put in an after market air filter.So I took it out and things went better. Out of curiosity I thought I would check these here forums. Spark plugs were the 1st few forums I read in resolve to my similar problem, so I went out and bought me some newbie plugs(new plugs were due in my next service going by the book) and slotted them in and the spiffy air filter. WOW a whole new car, she went like a blue healer at a calfs hoofs.Things were going along just spiffy when a few months later it started again. I don't know if I called a bitch or if she saw me drive my brothers Expensive Daewoo but she started playing up again. 1st it was a miss here and there,some times at start up other times just idling at the lights.Then the right royal face slap,my favourite on ramp I gave her a bit and nope she didn't like it,so I backed off and tried again,nope as stuborn as a toothless hooker at a bucks night she just would not go.Back to the forums and next was the coil packs,the ones that are meant to last a life time.I shopped around finaly got a set for a great price, plugged those babies in and POW of she went again. and it begins again,just 3 days ago after abouy 3 more months of funz she bites back, even after a bit of a face lift and a massage she starts bitching again. So my plan this weekend is to pull plugs and coils out,check plug gaps and clean. Clean and check coils and grease them with sparky grease (to prevent arcing). Change fuel filter.Clean all induction piping (is there a way of making sure all is air tight?not to fond of the factory O rings being upto the job).If the crossover is not sealed properly IE the clamps are not holding hoses on securly will this affect things? and if so any suggestions on replacement's that wont cost me an arm and a leg? There are no performance shops around here,I would have to head to Brisveges other wise I have supercheap and autopro. Bloody hell this is getting long,I don't think I ever wrote an essay this long at school. So any suggestions on anything else I should check or do? I have read replacing the cat resolves simmilar problems I hope that's not the issue as I may as well do the whole system (wich was planned for in 12 months). Cheers guys.
  11. Great post mate.Helped me some what but now I'm stuck. I have just hooked up a 4 chanel amp but I am having trouble with hooking up front speakers, due to not being able to find a way to connect to the loom inside the car. I'm running the speakers to the amp then back again. Any suggestions?
  12. Would anyone know how to remove the old broken ones?I dont want to butcher them by drilling them out. and the part number is BA9W68OA
