sounds dodgey as

hope you lock your car up nicely at night

you think if they were legit, they would post some thing .. on some forum.. some where.. announcing themselves as a new mag.. but a google search brings back nothing for racenbounce .

also whats the domain for the email address?

@hotmail.com? or some thing similar?

the name was RaceNbounce magazine

they emailed me back asking for some photos of my car for readers rides since its not high modded. but im not going to send any sounds to me like they want to know exactly what is in my car and how do boost it.

the address is [email protected] so just a google email.

yeah i do lock my car up tight, it has a kill switch and 3 point immobiliser so no way its goin anywhere. but if they are pros nuffin can really stop them.

i got it insured for 26 600 so good luck to em haha.

this is the exact email just so ya know

"hmm, seems you got off the email too quickly. well since it doesn't have too many modifications, what we can do is you can send in a couple of high res pictures of your car, and we can put it in the inbox section of readers ride. And when you have more mods maybe we can do a feature artcile on it.

The magazine is called Race n Bounce. It's a new magazine set to be released in late January. It is QLD only and most of our first issues will be released around the Brisbane Cuty area and North , South, East and West locations. Our magazine retails at $6 which is really cheap compared to other ones on the market today.

The magazine not only features performance cars, but also I.T reviews, music, games and technology. So if your interested in sending us a few pictures of your car and what you want to do to it, than feel free to. We will chuck it in the inbox section for you. (for free :worship: )

(also if you know anyone that would be interested in advertising withn our magazine please hit em up with our email, as our prices are very cheap. thanks)

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Fabian

Owner- Race n Bounce magazine."

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
