    thats a sweet front end~!!

    any issues with having your cooler exposed with the cops??

    also, did you get your mesh at autobarn or somewhere similar??

    It came like that imported, but I did notice you can get similar mesh at all the auto (and hardware?) stores :)

    never had a problem at all, had the car well over two years now, and not a single problem from the po-po

    (considering I've got a carbon fibre hood, bov, fmic, pod, no cat and 3' turbo back... :D)

    they prob like... hmmmm volvo... nice volvo... now where's the skyline that has that bov.. *turns head*

    I vote get the mesh and see what you think dude .. I think it looks way better than any of the stock grills.

    I don't, but you should see them come up time to time, for about 1/10th what your tuner charged you. Make sure the part numbers match, there were smoe pinout/wiring differences in some of the models.

    part number for mine is 23710 0V801 JECS TM

    not sure what the Auto ECU number should be? does anyone have a list of which ones are compatible?

    or at least how to tell which one is series 2.... did a quick search and can't seem to find much info.. (even looked through the stagea parts list thread)

    Tomas there is no problem or difference for running the auto ECU in manual. The auto has an additional function to cut timing when the gearbox says there is a shift taking place - but since there is no gearbox to send the signal that will never happen.

    I ran an auto ECU in my manual for about 18 months until other mods meant I needed to go aftermarket.

    Also, auto ecus will be everywhere....but manuals will be much rarer just like the donor cars

    oh that's a relief :) .. I didn't modify my ECU, but then, I wouldn't know what's inside it.. I might go grab it now and open it up.. ... ok looks pretty stock.. no mods!

    might just pick up a second hand auto ecu cheap, and give the other one back (as there is some issue with it which is why its his test one)!!

    anyone got a spare S2 Auto ECU they'd like to part with ????? :D

    yeah according to Mech the wiring was 'spaghetti'.. not sure what had been done previously in there, but its been sorted out apparently.... got a pretty hefty labour bill at the end of it though...

    (and an empty tank for some reason :/ .. will have to question that one.. was 40km on the o.d.o since filling up)

    and a $300 deposit on the auto ECU, (hence trying to find a manual one cheaper for the moment, then give it back)

    my RS4s ECU decided to die on me the other day >_< mech said all the outputs are fried!!...

    ended up finding a solution with a Series 2 Auto ECU he had laying around...

    and now my car actually feels like its running better and smoother.. and no longer so rich... (it was running very rich lately)

    trying to source another manual ECU at present via JDM..

    is there any potential issues with running the auto ECU in my manual ?? Mech was very unsure if there would be ramifications.... :unsure:

    If I can't find a reasonably priced manual ECU.. might just have to get myself a Vipec after I get my clutch done... *sigh* that time of the year I guess..

    (thanks for the info Cam / Scotty)

    had a laugh when someones mum (in back streets near kesters and bridge rd) told me not to park in her driveway cos she wanted to, (her son has white dayz fronted rs4s with white wheels and ms dolphin grille, me driving white stock fronted rs4 with black d1's and ms dolphin grille) wound down the window to say hi and we both had a chuckle. good on you mum.

    did u give her a flash ? ;)
