I have seen LOTS of cars with aftermarket or replacement ecu's that seem fine but have problems with fuelling and det once they are properly tested.

shouldnt cost much more that £60 for before and after testing with that equipment and well worth it.


cheers for the advice dave but im doing it the other way round, ie aftermarket back to standard

edit: just re-read what you said and its due for mapping soon anyhow

Trimming them to match Lee?

I know tegs don't but just seems a miss match when things aren't the same.

I've only got a *cough* mb3 1.5 [/cough] at the moment; do you reckon it will push the camber out if I lower it 40mm as I've seen an mb lowered on steels and it looks quality so before I can afford a vti/dc2, I wouldnt mind some fun with my current civic?

40mm should be fine matey, my front have a tiny bit of camber and the rears more so now than before but nothing that will kill tyres

got my recaros fitted after my rails arrived. front and rears also had times to get some pics of it sitting a tad loewr at the back (15mm lower than before)
Before springs (old images)




how it sits now (couldn't go any lower without the camber getting crazy. on the save for some coilovers and camber adjusters and bits will do me for the time being and the back end isn't as twitchy as it was before which is a bonus.




and my seats
before




and now
