  1. Thanks puts my mind at ease. Cheers for all the help guys appreciated
  2. Yep thats what it looks like. Thanks for clearing that up. Is there any way of accessing the menus e.g. to activate or de activate deadlocks with that type of screen or do I need vag com?
  3. hi have a mk2 fl vrs was trying to get into the menu screen but it wasnt going into the menu screen but is coming up with check deadlocks when the ignition is switched off. any help much appreciated
  4. my car is doing exatly the same thing. only difference is its mega smokey on start up when cold. start it and watch a cloud of bright blue smoke passes the windows for about 10 seconds. mechanis says that the valve guides could be worn and the stem seals are allowing oil to pass through into the cylinders. the car has 145k on the clock
  5. it could be overboosting and going into limp home mode
  6. holy crap!! that is pretty impressive. car looks sweet btw

  8. .... when you leave the tailgating corsa vxr driver in a cloud of smoke
  9. If you want a gtb2260vk the company darkside developments do a full kit for the fabia
  10. i just had a very similar problem and it turns out it was the smart charging in the ecu but the ecu is repairable
  11. this has happened to mine (twice) and both times it has been a fault with corrosion with the the wiring loom that runs down the passenger side fornt of the car and mine was showing pretty much the same codes as yours
  12. Thought i should post up about my friends car that i had a drive of last week Its a 1997 DC2 JDM import Honda Integra Type R in championship white The Engine & Gearbox It is equipped with the B18 vtec engine which revs all the way to 8750RPM and its a fantastic engine it is a little low on torque but has approx 200 to 210 bhp due to being fitted with a aem long arm intake and a full de-cat tanabe exhaust and it sounds epic especially in vtec the pwoer comes in smooth low don the has a kick when the vtec engages. Its all transmitted the the road via a very smooth 5 speed box the car has also had an exedy stage 1 clutch fitted which feels very nice to use. All in all its a great combination but to press on you need to keep the car in vtec. Handling & Comfort The cars handeling is absoutly unbelieveable it is an absoulte joy to drive and feels alive and is fulll of communitaction through the steering wheel and through the seat when pressing on and the grip levels are very high. This has been achived through the fully independant suspension set up and by fitting miester r coilovers and uprated anti roll bars and lower tie bars and front and rear strut braces (the front one is standard equipment on the DC2) and by running ultra lightweight desmond reegamasters and with the toyo r1r tyres. As for comfort it is pretty uncompromising but can be forgiven due to the nature of the car but has been fitted with and upgraded sound system and has air conditioning for when it gets hot (which up in scotland isnt very often) Economy The economy actuallly isnt too bad when you are just driving arond out of vtec but does go through the fule pretty fast when you are in vtec. Overall It is an absoutly fantascic car to drive but needs to be kept in tis vtec powerband to extract the best from this car. It wouldnt be the best daily driver but it would make and exellent weekend driver/trackday car. Heres a photo taken before the regamasters were fitted
  13. well if you want to put back to stardard i wouldnt mind dibs on a few bits and ill give you all my standard bits in return
  14. i got toyo px4s on the front of my car which i got with my new wheels and imho they are shocking in the wet but good in the dry by far and away the best tyres ive ever had are the yokohama s.drive tyres epic in the dry and very good in the wet and got 10k out of them. albeit they cost £120 more but id happly sepnd the extra money on them. just my 2p
  15. id have: wing mirrors front grill rear spoiler roof front numberplate surround
