KW states that this suspension kit is designed "for improved looks and more driving dynamics - in OEM quality." The added benefit in comparison to standard lowering springs is the ability for height adjustment after installation. It also allows you to retain any OEM electronic damper control settings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">KW uses high-quality springs made of chrome-silicon steel. The springs are also developed with spring rates that match with the different damper characteristics of your adaptive suspension.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Installation is a little more involved as you need to remove and replace the bump stops to cater for the lowered ride height. We also recommend a professional wheel alignment to be carried out after the kit has been installed. For those wishing to tackle the installation themselves, we've included a DIY guide as well as the official installation instructions below. </span></span><br />

Make sure you remove ALL components that were used by the old spring. Also, for the purposes of installation put the adjuster to full low. From top to bottom - adjuster, spring, adapter, helper spring, lower pad. To install it you will have to place the bottom portion in first. Now you're going to need to use some back strength to get the helper spring to compress far enough to slide the adjuster into the hole.<br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://i.imgur.com/ikhTqcM.jpg" style="background-color: #eff5ff; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><br /> Pre-assemble the strut assembly with both top mounts already together with the gaskets, this makes it a lot easier. Compress the strut fully, and quickly pop the bottom into place, and slide the top into place. For EDC, be very careful of the connector and don't forget to plug it in! Once you finally get it all lined up, tighten the e-torx bolts on the top, and the 18mm bolt on the bottom.<br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://i.imgur.com/gNsMjkF.jpg" style="background-color: #eff5ff; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /><span style="background-color: #eff5ff;"> </span><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><img alt="" border="0" height="300" src="https://i.imgur.com/xc7sAu3.jpg" style="background-color: #eff5ff; max-width: 100%;" width="400" /><span style="background-color: #eff5ff;"> </span><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><br style="background-color: #eff5ff;" /><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://i.imgur.com/uw5AUeR.jpg" style="background-color: #eff5ff; max-width: 100%;" width="300" /></span></div>

H&R springs are specifically designed to suit particular makes and models and lowers the vehicle ride height by roughly 1.5-1.8". H&R claims that the lower center of gravity reduces excessive body roll while providing outstanding ridge quality and comfort with the progressive spring rate.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The below is our opinion of the parts tested in this review. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
H&R Sport Springs - Part Number 28810-1<br />
<br />
Lowering - The car is definitely lower after installing the springs, while they may take some time to settle, the original wheel gap is less visible and in our opinion at a great legal height. Even with a front lip installed we have been able to clear most driveways and speed bumps without issue. 8/10<br />
<br />
Handling - Body roll is noticeably reduced in cornering and higher speed turn in. The car provides a bit more confidence now while cornering where as previously, the car would feel less planted. If paired with a rear sway bar we suspect handling to improve even more. Overall we believe for the investment in springs to be able to achieve this is quite outstanding. 9/10<br />
<br />
Ride Quality - We had the suspension setting in comfort mode during the ride quality test. While it is comparable to stock, the ride quality is somewhat compromised as the springs do appear to be harder and absorb the bumps a little less than the standard springs do. Cabin creaks seem to have increased slightly due to the stiffer springs. 6/10Diagnostic Haushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03480712467144257965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181567047738843135.post-84067083234171817362018-10-01T09:51:00.002+10:002018-10-01T09:52:20.279+10:00LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO AND MURCIELAGO ERROR CODESFor those fortunate enough to own a Lamborghini Gallardo or Murcielago, we'll include a list of ODBII generated fault codes to help with diagnosing your vehicle yourself.

Both cars are manufactured by Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG).<br />
<br />
An insecure software process exposed by the Wi-Fi interface used by the cars Harman In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system allows unauthenticated access. Some further digging revealed that it was also possible to access the IVI’s Control Area Network (CAN) bus.<br />
<br />
This meant that:<br />
<br />
"Under certain conditions attackers could listen in to conversations the driver is conducting via a car kit, turn the microphone on and off, as well as gaining access to the complete address book and the conversation history."<br />
<br />
And:<br />
<br />
"There is the possibility of discovering through the navigation system precisely where the driver has been, and to follow the car live wherever it is at any given time."<br />
<br />
The car uses a different, high-speed CAN bus for vehicle-critical communication such as steering, door unlocking, park assist, and – yes – braking.<br />
<br />
That high-speed CAN bus is precisely one component away from the compromised IVI CAN bus: the two are separated by a CAN bus gateway that acts as a firewall between the two.<br />
<br />
It’s here that the researchers stopped in order to avoid breaking the law. The researchers reported their findings to VAG, which seems to have taken the issue seriously enough to invite them to come to its HQ in Germany to explain them.<br />
<br />
The company later said it had patched the flaws that allowed access, although of course that would only fix new cars made from the point that firmware image became available.<br />

While the ignition coil may not be the cause of the problem, it's definitely worth checking as it's fairly straightforward. The first method is simply using a ODB scan tool such as Carly or ODBII and read for fault codes related to misfiring/spark/ignition issues in a specific cylinder. A more traditional approach is to unplug the ignition coil while the car is running, if the car runs the same with the ignition coil unplugged then you know that there may be an issue with that cylinder and you can proceed to check the spark plug, ignition coil and wiring. If unplugging the first ignition coil and the behaviour of the car is worse then plug it back in and move to the next cylinder until you find the coil that is the culprit which means no changes after unplugging. As a test, you could use the ignition coil from a known good cylinder and replace the one in the bad cylinder to see if you can replicate the behaviour (the scan tool may also show the bad cylinder follows the coil). If this is possible then it is highly likely that the ignition coil is bad and requires replacement.<br />

Those who opt to lower their car (most enthusiasts seem to for better looks and lower center of gravity) can do so with a bit of know how and also the right tools. Note that you will most likely need to take the car to a workshop to have a professional alignment done once lowered. We provide a rough guide below on how to adjust the factory coilover for those who like a bit of DIY.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For a standard 360 the height is 125.2mm at the front and 146.8mm at the rear.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Front: Ahead of the front wheel there is a rubber drain tube. Measurement is just behind that tube on the aluminum frame. </div>

Ferrari also suggests doing the measurements and alignment with a 70kg load in both the driver and passenger seat/footwell area to replicate the weight of an average person. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In order to adjust the height, you will need to loosen the perches using a C-Spanner (can be purchased <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575136917&toolid=10001&campid=5337743604&customid=c-spanner&icep_item=282295300428&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229515&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg" target="_blank">here</a>) holding the spring in place, these are highlighted in red below. The upper perch is 90mm and the lower perch is 70mm - purchase the according tools on the website. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Calculating vehicle drop is based upon the number of downward turns of the spring perch. Total body drop is affected by the Motion Ratio which is the ratio of shock travel versus wheel travel. It is equal to the Shock Travel (in inches) per 1 inch of Wheel Travel. Motion Ratio is used to account for the different suspension geometries and the resultant mechanical leverage on the spring. In almost all cases, the Motion Ratio is less than 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
One can generally calculate the Motion Ratio by simply dividing the shock travel by the wheel travel. Example if the shock travels 0.5 inches and the wheel travels 1 inches then the motion ratio would be 0.5/1 = 0.5.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To achieve a 1" drop, we can base the calculations on the MR value as 0.70, 12 turns will drop your vehicle 1" (25.45 mm/cm/1.5mm = 16.97 turns X 0.70 = 11.88 turns/cm).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The threads on the Ferrari shock body are pitched at approximately 1.5 mm which means that every turn of the ring should equate to a drop of 1.5 mm. This means that for every downward turn of the top spring perch nut with a motion ratio of 0.70, you would get about .084” of downward travel of the body. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once you have completed lowering the car, tighten back up the spring perches and head on over to your alignment workshop which we mentioned earlier. </div>

Camber is adjusted by inserting or removing shims between the bottom wishbone mountings and the chassis. Increasing the width of the shim pushes the lower wishbone outwards and thus the top of the wheel leans into the car more = more camber. Adjustment requires removal of the wheel, undoing the wishbone, inserting or removing shims, refit wishbone and wheel then lower the car and re-measure the camber. </div>

While the manufacturer may have a legitimate reason to ensure these restrictions are in place (emissions, reliability) or otherwise, they are definitely robbing from the performance and induction noise. We'll explain below briefly how to remove these restrictions in an Audi A3/S3, however, this will also work across the turbo charged Volkswagen MK7 range.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) Remove the screws holding on the front air induction box and intake</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90TV87ZMyN-9NzVSQWnje1VvkZTOpbKkpjnQLegPoxLL_NmVZ2mQCzBY-hcCyd_yW_jkpbvDBzBE8Jrd1kd3LKZYKn8wPMpUJ121vnabzYvjdoXTEGc52O8jVeEe5NI5f18rkuXE14oA/s1600/00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="900" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi90TV87ZMyN-9NzVSQWnje1VvkZTOpbKkpjnQLegPoxLL_NmVZ2mQCzBY-hcCyd_yW_jkpbvDBzBE8Jrd1kd3LKZYKn8wPMpUJ121vnabzYvjdoXTEGc52O8jVeEe5NI5f18rkuXE14oA/s400/00.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) Use a hole saw + drill or dremel to cut out the plastic section blocking off airflow to the airbox</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimEM2ZYnYbkXmERLIzCBFeROFxVts-RD8JwwjBdJccNa2zF5XC8HpRxukg18sLMN0N1hQIY3D2Wl5njJXjXwVPJrQNncxhNi3BYj-6kJWLigqvuHNtIa8HDaBICtS6BOOmpK9Hkd6XAmc/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="900" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimEM2ZYnYbkXmERLIzCBFeROFxVts-RD8JwwjBdJccNa2zF5XC8HpRxukg18sLMN0N1hQIY3D2Wl5njJXjXwVPJrQNncxhNi3BYj-6kJWLigqvuHNtIa8HDaBICtS6BOOmpK9Hkd6XAmc/s400/02.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) Remove the airbox cover, air filter and then finally the plastic grate sitting below the airbox, this will come out with a tug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTwKoWJOMrI71CEyCGBtK5UFWUqWgdfj4lnvF12YDZpHRfjd2eMwCoVFqTSpjcF6Qt9SsoO_erdm-R90_6Av2DzHM2MEE7qE5o56o86pVdr-23YNB-ZkSq5L8dyB_z3X5hWl-E45ftkY4/s1600/04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="900" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTwKoWJOMrI71CEyCGBtK5UFWUqWgdfj4lnvF12YDZpHRfjd2eMwCoVFqTSpjcF6Qt9SsoO_erdm-R90_6Av2DzHM2MEE7qE5o56o86pVdr-23YNB-ZkSq5L8dyB_z3X5hWl-E45ftkY4/s400/04.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4) Remove the grill trim sitting at the top of the Audi grill</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipKUlmuBRGv-hkstCLc47n6O5zuAclSqiRvxyvPawZncVGxgzViuSuVDxLhssck4XjgK9lrOyY_NpY4cBZB6wHoTtRLazyzh3pUX5k2wFILPBsYaK6T4Kbll5WCIaGlpl226fF7H2OeVo/s1600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="900" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipKUlmuBRGv-hkstCLc47n6O5zuAclSqiRvxyvPawZncVGxgzViuSuVDxLhssck4XjgK9lrOyY_NpY4cBZB6wHoTtRLazyzh3pUX5k2wFILPBsYaK6T4Kbll5WCIaGlpl226fF7H2OeVo/s400/01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5) Reassemble all parts and optionally replace panel filter with a high flow item from BMC/K&N. </div>
<br />
That's it, a few simple items to be removed in order to increase airflow to the air box. Combined with a high flow panel filter, we suspect that performance results will be similar to that of expensive 'cold air intake' systems on the market.<br />

While the engine is also used in base model cars such as the Audi 8V A3, Audi B8 A4 and Golf MK7 GTI, they are detuned to much less horsepower making them not as interesting as their larger horse powered siblings. The EA888 family is an Audi-designed engine that features some of the latest technology such as direct fuel injection, sintered camshaft lobes, thin-walled engine block, variable valve timing and lift for intake and exhaust valves, downstream oxygen sensors, exhaust manifold integrated into cylinder head, exhaust gas re-circulation and cooling, lightweight engine internals and the addition of port fuel injection to aid low load fuel consumption and cold start emissions. Currently, the EA888 engine is available in two sizes: 1.8T and 2.0T. Engine output ranges from 111 kilowatts (151 PS; 149 bhp) to over 223 kilowatts (303 PS; 299 bhp). A concept car based on the Volkswagen Golf R, dubbed R400, produced 395 hp from 2 litres of displacement. Furthermore, the R400 would be able to accelerate from 0-100 in just 3.8 seconds, thanks to a haldex 4-wheel drive system, and a 6-speed DSG gearbox.<br />
<br />
The most common tuner platform is the 206kw variant seen in the below makes and models.<br />
<br />
206 kw (280 PS; 276 bhp) @ 5,100-6,500 rpm; 380 newton metres (280 lbf·ft) @ 1,800-5,500 rpm<br />

<br />
As with all turbo engines though, breathing can always be an issue from the factory due to emission requirements. To allow the engine to breath better, we suggest making some minor adjustments to the air filter and exhaust to allow for cooler air intake and quicker release of exhaust.<br />

As this didn't seem to satisfy all customers, they went one step further by producing limited edition cars with club sport and track events in mind, catering for those who prefer an all out "race car" from the factory so to speak. Similar to the GT3RS produced by Porsche, BMW's latest incarnation is the F82 M4 GTS. Before we explore the GTS in detail though, lets have a look at the evolution prior to arriving at the M4 GTS.<br />
<br />
1990 - E30 M3 Sport Evo II (600 Units)<br />
1994 - E36 M3 GT (350 Units)<br />
2002 - E46 M3 CSL (1383 Units)<br />
2010 - E92 M3 GTS (135 Units)<br />
2016 - F82 M4 GTS (700 Units)<br />
<br />
What have they done to a production F82 M4 to make it so special? The technical details we've included as a spec sheet but just as a summary of what's different about the GTS:<br />
<br />
Carbon Fiber Vented Bonnet and Door Cards to reduce weight<br />
Carbon Fiber adjustable front splitter<br />
Motorsport adjustable rear wing and diffuser<br />
OLED Tail Lights<br />
Integrated Rear Half Cage, complete with fire extinguisher and rear seat delete panels<br />
Alcantara interior trim and deleted center glove box<br />
Interior instrument panel support is made of carbon fiber<br />
Carbon Fiber bucket seats<br />
Reduced interior sound deadening<br />
S55B30T0 engine (using water injection) 493HP and 600Nm of torque<br />
Titanium Exhaust<br />
Adjustable Coilover Suspension<br />
M Carbon Ceramic Brakes<br />
19" 666M Front wheels and 20" 666M Rear wheels<br />
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres<br />
<br />

To make things even more interesting, in 2017 they released a DTM championship edition GTS which were limited to 200 units worldwide and 10 units were allocated to Australia. There is only 1 on Carsales for those who are tempted and have a spare $363696.00 AUD. You will notice all the trinkets we mentioned above plus more in the photos below.</div>

These hot hatches second hand are becoming more and more affordable in the Australian market and we're seeing an increasing number of them on the road. We believe it is a good starting platform for those who want to get into some light track duties while being able to drive to work in style. A mid 2013 model with about 60,000klms we're seeing go for around the $50,000 mark. We've listed a few upgrades below to get you started if you are considering one. Note: Make sure you select one with the AMG Aero Dynamics Package ($1990 option from factory), it makes a big difference to the look of the car and adds 40kg of downforce at 250km/h. It includes a front splitter, canards and rear wing. <br />

Let's run through quickly what an air filter does before we get into the review. The primary purpose of an air filter is to remove fine dust/pollen/dirt etc. from entering the engine's cylinders where it would cause mechanical wear and oil contamination. A blocked or dirty air filter will also cause poor performance and increase fuel consumption. Air filters should never be cleaned with compressed air or banged out on a table - this will only leave a false impression that the filter is clean. Air filters need to be changed every 10,000km to 15,000km or every 12 to 18 months. Most modern day vehicles now use a paper filter element placed inside a plastic box connected to the throttle body. The main reason for using a paper element is price rather than performance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We decided to go with a BMC air filter in our project E92 M3 based on a number of reasons listed below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>They have over 9000 vehicle applications and had one which fits directly into our project car.</li>
<li>Replacement filters are created from aluminium net treated with epoxy resin and guarantees resistance to fuel vapours and oxidising due to humidity. </li>
<li>The filtering material is special cotton soaked in low viscosity oil and guarantees greater permeability to air.</li>
<li>BMC filters can be cleaned and re-used by using one of their regeneration kits (detergent and oil spray).</li>
<li>Filters are designed to flow more air than the standard element, allowing for a slight performance increase.</li>
<li>The price of their filters is reasonable and is available for purchase at a number of locations.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Installation was quite simple. Open up the standard airbox, remove the standard filter element and drop the new BMC replacement filter in. Close up the standard airbox again and testing can begin. Upon starting the car, induction noise had increased slightly while not being over the top. While BMC's air flow chart notes that the filter flows better than the standard one, we were unable to feel any noticeable difference performance wise driving the car around town. Having said that, if we were to do a back to back test on a dyno it may tell a different story. An online source has quoted a 10hp increase on a Dynojet dyno after installing a BMC filter. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BMC Air Filters are designed and manufactured in Italy and were originally developed in association with the Ferrari F1 team. The quality of the filter definitely speaks for itself. We would recommend this product for anyone in the market of looking at replacing their air filter and we welcome any feedback from those who have done a comparison dyno run after installing one.

Concept images have been released with a more aggressive bodykit compared to the regular R and includes larger intakes and a slightly revised front end. It will also likely come with a revised interior and better rear diffuser judging by the images.<br />

The production model though is likely to be more subtle. The tell tale differences will most likely be bigger brakes hiding behind larger alloy wheels. A wider front track and fixed rear spoiler are also clues that there’s some serious power beneath the bonnet. When the car was first revealed at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, the Chinese couldn't wait for it's arrival and local tuning company ASPEC have come up with their own variant dubbed the PPV400. They borrowed some styling cues from the Reventon and the results speak for themselves. We're a fan, especially of the rear wing - it will add some serious aggression to any standard Golf.

Over the course of its production life from 2007-2013 (approximately), a number of online critics have voiced their concern after having experienced rod bearing failures in these engines, ultimately ending with an expensive repair bill. A number of theories surfaced, however, evidence shows that the factory clearance is less than optimal and may lead to oil starvation.<br />
<br />
For those less mechanically minded, a rod bearing is simply a plain bearing used to hold rotating parts within the engine in their correct places; failure to do so for any reason can have catastrophic effects as you could imagine. For those more mechanically minded, we refer you to the online information source over at <a href="http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=892838">M3Post</a>.<br />
<br />
Our recently aquired E92 M3 project car has had a few kilometers on the clock (more on that later) and hence a common remedy to the problem is to replace the standard bearings with the VAC/Calico coated bearings. Many engine builders frown upon the use of coated bearings because they add to the bearing thickness, and the coating wears quickly and unevenly. The Calico web site specifies the added thickness between 0.00020 - 0.00040 inch, however, the coating decreases surface friction. In addition to this, thinner oil should be used to compensate for the added bearing size. The bearings removed from our project car has definitely seen better days (images below) so we believe that it was a reasonable investment to replace the worn bearings with the Calico coated versions. This should increase life and strength of the bearing as well as allow oil to flow through smoothly due to the surface coating. If you are interested in purchasing a set refer to the following link at <a href="https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac-performance-coated-rod-bearing-set-bmw-s65-shells-only-p2932.aspx">VAC</a>.<br />

Now to the kilometers/mileage covered on our project car - how many kilometers do you think our project car has traveled based on the below images?<br />

The N54 has won five straight International Engine of the Year awards, and three straight Ward's 10 Best Engines awards. The N54 was slowly phased out of production circa 2009 and replaced with the newer N55.<br />

However, the N54 still remains popular in the tuning industry due to the amount of power it can produce with some simple bolt on mods and ECU tuning. MHD is one of those companies which has taken on the tuning game by creating a flash via an Android handheld application. The MHD Flasher reveals power BMW left on the table with the N54 while still retaining the OEM ECU. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It also provides a number of other benefits such as being able to monitor your engine behaviour using a configurable gauges layout to keep on eye on any of the 50+ engine monitors like oil temp, boost pressure, actual load or individual cylinder ignition timing. You can activate the logging mode to save up to 30 monitors to a standard CSV or read error codes and store them for analysis. MHD also provides custom tuning support for those who have special requirements. In addition, the ECU can be flashed back to a stock at anytime, as often as you need to. No ECU backup is required.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To run the flash, connect any compatible Android device to your car using a standard K+DCAN cable along with a OTG USB cable, install one of the pre-purchased MHD built-in maps. So whats required to do an "Android" flash? We'll run through the equipment and steps below. Simply click on the link to purchase.</div>

Due to age, the Murcielago, one of the most collectable and desirable exotics by Lamborghini is now more affordable in comparison to other super cars in the same league. This car must be driven to be appreciated. As Jeremy Clarkson was quoted, "this car was designed to grab hold of the small boy that lives in us all... and shake him half to death". So for those of you who are considering one, what might be the costs associated with owning such a vehicle in Australia?<br />
<br />
12 Month Registration Fee QLD: $780.15<br />
12 Month Registration Fee NSW: $505.00<br />
Minor Dealer Service: $1300~<br />
(Oil, oil filter, cabin filter, transmission, differential fluid, brake fluid)<br />
Major Dealer Service: $2600~<br />
(Same as minor service, plus spark plugs, vehicle diagnostic checks and a few extras.)<br />
Tyres: Pirelli PZERO Rosso Front 245/35/18 ($342 each) and Rear 335/30/18 ($820 each)<br />
<br />
Of course, fluid changes and filter changes are fairly straight forward and if you are pretty handy with the tools then there is no reason why you couldn't order the parts from online sources such as Lambo Stuff and do the swap yourself. The workshop manual is a great place to start for those who wish to investigate this option.<br />

These are the objectives of the company since the beginning. The company was founded by Markus Handloser in June 1994 at "Leiselheim", a small village in the beautiful region named "Kaiserstuhl" in the southwest of Germany. The continuously and from the start increasing number of satisfied customers and the development of new markets demanded the company to move to its present site at "Malterdingen" in 2004.<br />
<br />
One of HMS' main stand out products is exhausts - they sound great and provide an increase in performance. Check out these videos for some cars fitted with HMS systems. For more information, check out the HMS' web site or send us an email at info@diagnostichaus.com to order in Australia.<br />

Remember back in the E36 M3 days where the mirrors would be retrofitted to a number of different vehicles. Fast forward to the E92 M3 and now the F80 M3/F82 M4 - still continuing on the trend with stylish side mirrors. Would they assist in aerodynamics? Unlikely due to the small size in comparison to the body, however, we do agree that they look great. In the latest series, the mirrors from the F80 and F82 can be ordered and retrofitted to the standard F series BMW's while costing you an arm and a leg. If you are simply looking for an aesthetic upgrade while saving a few pennies, why not consider some mirror covers for the F series? They are compatible between the following models - F20 F21 F22 F30 F31 F32 F34 F87 E84. They do not increase wind noise from our testing. These mirrors are custom designed by AutoID to look very similar to the genuine item.<br />
<br />
We are the official distributor of AutoID parts in Australia and the mirror covers can be purchased from our online store <a href="http://diagnostichaus.bigcartel.com/product/autoid-carbon-fibre-wing-mirror-covers">here</a>.<br />

In order to fit them, carefully pull the existing covers off by firstly prying off one corner with a trim removal tool. Once you have a solid grip of one edge you can pull the existing cover off with a bit of force.<br />

However, for those who arn't as lucky, such as some Audi/Volkswagen owners - these cars came with some pretty mediocre paddles out of the factory. This has spurred some aftermarket companies to come up with some alternatives to make it easier for you to change gears while doing some spirited driving - not to mention the aesthetic side of things.<br />
<br />
The easy/cheaper option is to opt for some simple stick on pedals, these work as they are suppose to and allow for easy removal if you decide you don't like them. They can be found on a number of sites such as eBay.<br />

Over 9 halls of modified cars filled the enormous Tokyo convention centre at Makuhari. This show is a must for any car fanatic; it lasted for approximately 3 days and on all 3 days the halls were constantly filled with spectators. These cars included a number of exotics which we've provided a preview of in this video. Please like and subscribe for more updates!<br />

It turns out that these wheels are yet to be released on their website. The Advan Racing GT wheels uses Mold-Formed Forging and high grade A6061-T6 to achieve an extremely strong and light weight product. Yokohama has since released the GT in 5x130 PCD and Porsche Center Lock applications as they were not available for Porsche previously. We recommend the following fitment:<br />
<br />
Front: 20 x 9 +49 Racing Red<br />
Rear: 20 x 12 +44 Racing Red<br />
<br />
However, should you wish to choose your own fitment, we have also included a size list below.<br />

The 458's engine is a completely new design compared to it's predecessor; it utilises a dry-sump, flat-crank 90-degree V8 setup with a 12.5:1 compression ratio. The design of this engine has been carried over from racing technology (F1 in particular). Ever wondered what's required to do an oil change on such a vehicle? Apart from the usual such as sourcing the correct replacement filter, gaskets and oil of course. We've added a few photos for the curios folk out there, along with a guide created by Jeff from the United States. </div>
