So anticipating the need to purchase a new laptop, unless I can get this one fixed for a reasonable price, what's the best way to retrieve the data from the hdd in this one, without opening up the new one and putting the drive in there obviously...

/If you cant get into the bios at all thats kinda shit, warranty out? run with no battery but plugged into the wall charger?

simple cheap hard drive sata to usb caddy (or cable) will get your files back 

something like this

Two year warranty, haven't found the receipt buy searched this thread and found I bought it around September /October 2014, so about 7 months out of warranty.. That's why I opened it up, no warranty to void... I'll give em a call see what they say... If it's not a ridiculous price to fix it, I'm happy to keep it, hasn't really given me any issues

Seen weird things before by battery causing problems, if its HDD or RAM that's f**ked you should still be able to get into bios easily

Probably your mainboard though, wont cost that much to get it replaced if they still got em

I'll get one of those cradle things Leigh posted before sending it anywhere... There's not a whole lot of shit on the drive as I keep it on an external drive connected to my network, but still wouldn't mind backing up what is on there

true that

but they do generally lsit tow ratings for a reason...and when they drop them 700kg for this car prob should take notice.

 

 

and worst case scenario something happens insurance company can mess with you hard core.

(also seen cops on the Hume 3-4times in past 2 months directing trailers into the weigh bridge.

arent they rated for 2.3tonne?

mine tows sweet as but mines just a dirt bike so meh. 

FPV 1600kg.

R33gtst with fuel just over 1400 kg,

lightest possible trailer I could find was 350  most tandams circa 600 - 700

Yeah dunno why officially it's 1600 over the standard turbo 2300kg, you'd assume it'd be right.. it's the same chassis with BETTER brakes, maybe it's just a 'FPV brand is better brah' don't tow! thing? 

I wouldn't be worried about it that's for sure

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
