    Gen90 throttle settings

    Does the gen90 ecu have an option for a) cable throttle or b) fbw throttle? Have fitted a gen90 that was previously fitted to an ITB set up. My car has the rs2 inlet and fbw throttle. The car runs with but it has no throttle response so am wondering if it's not picking up the FBW throttle?

    ball joints and geometry

    I have been told the O/S ball joint on my clio is shagged. I have ordered a couple of new ones from NWP and have read that I will need to get the tracking checked once I've fitted them. Quick question, will I also need to get the geometry checked after changing them? Here's hoping no as I've...

    Project Minstrel

    So I thought I'd start this thread to document the progress of Project Minstrel. Firstly the name. I am not particularly mechanically minded and a friend of mine is going to fit all the bits when they arrive in one foul swoop, which will hopefully be this weekend. However I had a day today...
