In Topic: Paint Removal?

10 June 2013 - 12:26 PM

What's gingery? The pads I have are lake country constant pressure pads. From heavy cut to final finish. So I'd imagine the orange pads will work a treat with a dual action. I've also got some fairly aggressive clay. Some meduim grade bilt hamber.do you think that will help to? I've gone from using megs fine grade to this. Will I see a difference?

Many thanks

In Topic: Guide: Fitting Egr Blanking Plate 1.6Tdci Engine

01 June 2013 - 09:35 AM

I bought the blank the other day. Came within a couple of day which was good. I fitted it yesterday. Took me 30mins to fit. It's a great mod. Quicker spool on the turbo and more low down torque. Car doesn't want to hesitateeither which it sometimes did when pulling away. Boost also first come on as violently as it used to either. So now just waiting on the fuel economy to go up. I'm at 63mpg right now and that with a kn filter. So hopefully this blank will be mod. So far I'm happy with it so far so who knows :)
Great guide btw :)

Oh I see well I've got swirl marks on my focus I've got swirlx and ultimate compound. I've tried swirlx on my gf mums c3 and it worked really well considering it's a polish. Didn't take all of it out which is why I went for ultimate compound as its abit more abrasive. Haven't tried it yet though bit thething is iI'm working by hand. Arms get tired aftera while. Btw the colour of my focus is a light blue and swirls can be seen on a nice sunny day.

Oh right I see. That's abit crap. All car companies seem to have rubbish clips that break and in the wrong places aswell. Well thank you for your advice I bought mine off eBay but I've got only three bits as in the bottom one that wraps round I only have the one that you see and not the aft facing one if you get me. Can't you knock the pin out to get the halves out? I haven't had a propa look which was why I asked you guys to I know what I'm looking for.

Many thanks

In Topic: Remap Or Superchip?

25 February 2013 - 05:25 PM

I want to chip my car but my gfs brother is a car mechanic and if you say use a superchip or anything simular including a tuning box a hexflag will come up within the ecu and these flags cannot be cleared. Car companies do this so if your car is under warranty and you but one of these and install it.. all being well you use it and the car needs a service and they find other things wrong that involves warranty and they've plugged it in. These flags will cone up and they all have individual codes and theses codes say what has been changed/altered. And the car conpay will just laugh at you. But I would love to chip mine. I e got a dog on mine so there's no point as there will be no great difference plus I like having a warranty. But blanking egr valve won't effect warrenty and it won't cause any flags on ecu. I've got a kn on my 1.6tdci and the car is much better in acceleration. But yeah.. sorry to waffle on lol
