Wanted Info On
Have been thinking of getting the stealth - capa edit My question is if I can put the program in my car, can I also put the same edit on additional cars or does it only have one program that that is put into ecu and the other program taken out . I might be wrong but if the program is is in the edit all the time what is stopping one person buying the edit and then reflashing other cars . We all might be able to have 240rwkw at a small cost . ie: 5-10 people all put in for the price of the edit $1400 split how ever many ways cheap I think but I could be wrong maybe those who have got it could try it ,or those people with technical know how could let us know if this could be done do we think the edit guys will answer this for sure

Fraggle, Yep, from the bottom end, living in Hobart. I'm guessing then that you area a 'northerner' then? The guy from the dealer where I bought the car suggested the same thing re trying a synthetic gearbox oil.... although I'm not sure their service manager will be so keen?? .. I plan to ask on the 3000km service anyway. I'd love the noise to go away.... and it's definitely not getting better. Did you get the engine oil changed on the 3000k service? I'm thinking it would be worthwhile. There is another thread on this forum somewhere about engine oils for the turbo six. The Typhoon is recomended to use 'mineral oil' only....and I would have thought that (after running in on mineral based oil) synthetic or a blend would have been the 'go'?. What's your thoughts? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes got the oil changed first time I thought that they would change it any way at no cost to us dame scum bags thought it was a free 3000k service I guess nothing is for free will have to let me know if you come up and Ill pm or email when I come down that way. I think tassie cruise mk11 is in august at the start you have to make sure you are avalible for that what a hoot that is.

done this mode on the weekend diy if you use your own air intake snorkel thing and make up the scoop thing took me a couple of hours to do but I think you get a feeling of self gratification everytime you step on the gas goes better I think changing from , 2-3 3-4 4-5 feels good and paint it black you carnt even see it only cost $6 paint some tin sheet probley $5 dollars from sum where and a couple of hours . probley wont show up on any dyno but works good on the arse in seat-o-meter only half of the silver scoop turn up the sides for more direction into snorkel

Was fitting a neon light in the lower grill section of the t today an found these brake ducts that had never had the ends cut out so I took it apon my self to cut them out not stoping at that though I might make some scoops to direct the air to the brakes I dont know it its been done before. I took of the big plastic thing but could be done on the car just easyer to work on when it was of . I made up the scoops with some flat galv sheeting a few bend a like of paint and presto . maybe people suffering from brake shudder and brake fade this might be a way to over come it .im now way an expert in brakes but feels better under hard braking was doing a good speed doesnt appear to vibrate or affect the front down force again no expert in any of these fields can post more photos if any one interested- 6 Speed Owners
mine has made the noise from day 1. I suppose that's just normal the service manager said to monitor the nosie if it gets louder go back he also said its a very big box and you should get a little bit of noise .any who thanks to all, a bit hard being the only one in tassie with a 6 speed ,I guess that what the fourm is for <{POST_SNAPBACK}> G'day Fraggle, Youre not the only one in Tassies with a 6 speed, and not the only one with the noises you describe. I picked up my Typhoon with the same 6 speed box (different ratios) on 6th December. I now have around 2000km's on the clock. Mine has the 'bearing growl' at below 2000 rpm in any gear....although most notoceable in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It also has a noise, sounds like a 'tick, tick' when in neutral with the clutch out. It dissapears when the clutch is pressed. Mine also has a problem (although maybe can put up with it if it doesn't get worse) with the cahnge into 2nd being a bit difficult....otherwise the gearbox is not bad!?? Other guys in the Typhoon section of this forum are experiencing the same issues too. If you read through it there are a few guys reporting this noise etc to their dealers. One of them (MYF6 I think) has recently had his 3000km service and they told him they knew about the noise but weren't sure if there was a fix (or if it was a problem?) I agree with an earlier post .... the growl at low revs does sound like the front gearbox bearing. Not sure if it will turn out to be a problem. PLEASE post what you and the dealer decide to do ... or not to do? ...Good Luck! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think its one of those things you might have to put up with someone said put synthetic oil in might be a shot . Might go to the dealer and ask if the will do some testing with some other oils worth a shot what part of tassie are you from would be from the south I think - Brake Ducts Openings
