If someone laughs at you for not making massive KW's then they have a problem. I say do it for shits and giggles and at the same time you can find out what your car is actually making :D

Who cares about power. I would laugh at him for owning an AU

OK..i have a big ugly caryard sticker on my rear windscreen its the chippy reflective vinal stuff :sick: .

I would like to remove it , im asking suggestions before i attempt this as i know it will get messy.

I was thinking of using Bug & Tar remover (worked wonders on the debadge.)

Please help.

Hair dryer / Heat gun awesome idea.

I did sort of try it but due to the type of vinal it chips off in vrey very small portions.

LOL.. This sucks may take a while :rolleyes:

Thanks for the help.

Stanley knife blade.

I know there's 8000 hicas threads but i think it's worthwhile to post a question on here rather than scour the abundance of info straight away. My hicas light on my dash has quickly flashed once on two separate driving occasions. I have no irregular steering symptoms but I have noticed both times it happened just after taking off (normal driving) and slight steering movements. The car was serviced on monday I figure it might be a bit of air in the system or something. Anyone got any ideas?

Hicas is not locked or bypassed all standard in that department. Will be happening soon though..

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
