Don't get me started on what I think of SEATs, bastard things are dog slow round the bends ! Alec

Remember if its one of the new ones it doesn't have the original map, they changed it in 2013 I think and reduced the power according to Tuning Developments. Maybe they did that to save on coil packs, as mine now needs C replacing, had A replaced last year Alec

Is that Bradwell ? If so went there on a school trip when at Benfleet Primary, oldest church in England ? Alec

That's because you took the cowards way out, that's right Musketeer, you're YELLOW !

Lauren, Sue's available for dog sitting if you wanted to drop Indie off to play with Harley and Trevor Alec

I'm in, pretty local for me Alec

Just ordered one of these from Steve http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6154 My kind of 86, never mind all that lowering crap, get some steelies on it and some big mud flaps Alec

Another fan here, really enjoy just watching the range of issues that they deal with, I'm sure they carefully choose what to go into detail on to ensure variety rather than showing the same thing every time Watched one the other day where they were doing up an old Lexus LS400 and they replaced the headlight bulbs with HID's and they had had to stick a load of weasel words over the video stating that it's no longer allowed, Doh ! I have a few linked up on my YouTube playlists here, https://www.youtube.com/user/keelerad/playlists, I'll probably get around to linking more some time (problem is they often get removed) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wheeler_Dealers_episodes lists all the episodes Alec

Is that the standard stereo head unit ? Alec

I think the code is a Subaru colour in case they can't find it (at least the code for my Silver was) Alec

See also youtube vids As I have just got a new phone and new adpator and had to configure it again, I thought I'd add a thread on here for the benefit of others The Torque App Its an app (http://torque-bhp.com/) that can be run on an Android device to monitor the vehicles ECU using a blue tooth adaptor plugged into the ODBII port (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics#OBD-II) The torque app lets you monitor various data points that the ECU uses and can also display (and if you purchase the paid for version, reset) vehicle fault codes The torque app will also use your devices GPS and accelorometers to allow speed and G to be measured and it can log data against GPS location, producing a map that overlays on Google maps of your speed or oil temp on a journey. The adaptor This plugs into the ODBII port provided by manufacturers for monitoring the ECU and makes data available to another device via bluetooth. This can be anything the ECU monitors examples include rpm, coolant temp, oil temp, inlet temp, air fuel ratio etc. The one you want is an ELM327 one. They come in various shapes but with where its situated on the '86 you either want a short one or some sort of extension or its likely to hit your left leg when driving The one I got was this one from fleabay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231164930452?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) you can get cheaper ones but the £8 one I bought last time stopped working after about 6 months so I thought I'd risk a bit more this time Plug in the adaptor You can find the connector for it under the dash, look above where your left knee would be when seated and you should find it. Note the connector is shaped so you have to get it the right way round Pair the ODBII device to your Android device Power on your car to power up the dongle, I did it with the engine running so I knew it would have power. Go into your device settings and make sure bluetooth is on and search for new devices Mine appeared at first as a HEX address a bit like a MAC address ie AA:11:22:33:44:DD but then updated to appear with the name OBDII Select the device and it should ask you enter a pairing code, for mine this was 1234, some use 0000, check with your supplier if neither work Start Torque When you start Torque it will ask you to choose the bluetooth device, select the adaptor you paired above. If you then select Realtime information the Torque App will start displaying data received from your car, rpm is the obvious one to check, press the go pedal and watch it rise ! You can configure the display to change what is shown, you can also modify what data is logged on a journey There is also some point where it asks for setting up a profile for your car, it does this when you first use it but as mine is already setup I can't remember what it asked. To reconfigure the display press and hold on any of the dials to get a menu that lets you delete, move, resize, change dial type To add a new display press and hold on an empty area of the screen and you get a add menu Oil Temperature Although Oil Temperature is a normal ODBII PID our car doesn't use the standard one, it uses a bespoke one instead. The Torque App can be configured to monitor this custom PID as follows Open the Torque app and then hit the menu button. Select "Manage extra PIDs/Sensors" (should be second from the bottom). Hit the menu key again and select "Add custom PID". Enter the following information OBD2 Mode and PID: 2101 Minimum Value: -40 Maximum Value: 215 Scale factor: x1 Unit type: C Equation: AC-40 OBD Header: 7E0 Hit ok. The oil temp parameter will now be available for logging and real time display.

Anyone know what number the Samson as stand is?

Will wander there at 11am Alec

I'll be along tomorrow Alec

Tried reversing the headrest in mine on track with the helmet on and found it offers zero support with it reversed, so put it back the normal way round Alec

Also has a rear setting on the washer/wiper stalk and we don't have no rear wiper Alec

Scoobie ?

Agree with Rob, I used one for my Tomtom, but the new one I got for Xmas is probably too big for the Brodit, so I have just ordered the clip for my phone instead so I can use that for Torque I also have used a Nexus 7 for Torque with it hanging in a mount from the air vents over the head unit but wasn't really a practical solution I had used the Brodit in my Celica as well, the good bit is that you can just buy each part separately so it works if you upgrade the device or downgrade your car (there can't be an upgrade from an 86). Also if you regularly use more than one vehicle they do a slide in adapter that lets you transfer the phone mount from one vehicle to another http://www.brodit.com/nSearchList.html?pn=prod&hideQuery=true&query=article_code:MoveClip

I think Jamie was the squirrel killer, did you ever check the incar video Jamie ? Jordan does chickens (if Luke doesn't get there first ) Alec

Its the 6 pot version that needs the bigger wheels, 4's will fit Alec

Short vid Alec

Tried reversing the headrest in mine on track and found it was too far back to give support Where's the nearly close encounter vid Dave ? An Evo was it ? Alec

Would be nice to have both parked next to each other outside the house Alec
