PM Sent, with my mods list for the car.

Rating 1, never claimed for a car accident, wondering if I can have my mods updated with Shannons and see what the price might be for agreed value of ~$25k.

I currently have 2 cars and 1 bike with Shannons..... =)

Well so far I am tottally happy with Unique, absolutly extactic to be precise.

But when the time comes when I am not happy with them, I'll PM Matt :huh:

BTW Not knocking shannons at all, but when I called up looking for insurance they wouldnt touch me and my list of mods with a ten foot pole.

I guess it's all down to who you know now-a-days :)

Good on you too Matt for helping out fellow forum members eh!

hey Tangles is your bike insured for recreational use only? Shannons wouldn't touch me when i said i'd be riding it daily..i ended up going through Swann

Yeah man, I ride (rarely these days) on weekends only, under 7000kms a year etc etc. Its not insured as a daily ride, due to the fact that it aint a daily ride whatsoever - i REFUSE to ride it in the metropolitan area, thats not what its been built for!! LOL

hi guys

i may be looking at a stagea in the near future - insurance will be one of the deciding factors.

i'm 22yo rating 1 - no accidents / claims / fines etc... - in SA - i was thinking Shannons is the winner? also member of a car club does this make any difference at all?

just after a conclusion of experiences of people with similar age to me - the car would pretty much stock except maybe a set of wheels / cat back / tints / stiffer springs for towing.

thanks

    • 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.
