Google it mate. It's nothing to set up. If a tuner can't use one then take your car elsewhere.

Free tune from helluva guys mates missus cousin. Sorted.

Maybe he knows a guy who knows a guy.

Pretty much yes and no. I understand what you are saying (small percentage of people that need to be controlled by laws due to their stupid decision making) but I think you worded it poorly. There's always going to be some dumb carnts who have to fark it up for the rest of us and yes the rest of us have stricter road rules to abide by. Ironically if you don't drive like a knob you won't notice these changes and they won't affect you much if at all. Just changing your vote will do nothing. You have to get the legislation repealed or amended. This means actually finding someone who will be willing to wear the public sh*tstorm that will come with changing laws that appeal to the masses that get their sjw boner from a biased media. Then there is the issue of reducing revenue which no form of government wants and the inevitable backlash and disassociation from political peers that will soon see them in the same category as many disgraced or "nutty" politicians. It'll never happen. Anyways I'm off to eat some chicken.

That or the 20 rolls before a gradual stop.

Most of the roads I drive on could have the speed limit lifted considerably. I think the main issue with raising limits is the apparent inability for what appears to be the majority of people to drive correctly at the current limits. Take Port Wakefield Road for example. It has a limit of 110 kph. So many times I've been held up in the right lane because some fool is going 95 kph in the left lane and some other fool is overtaking at 97 kph. Occasionally they'll just pull in front of me often with no warning or indication to overtake said slow driver while I have to get on the brakes due to their situational unawareness. Imagine the road now has a limit of 140 kph and fools are still driving 90 kph in the left and overtaking slow as sh*t on the right. I could stop in time (most of the time) as I'm focussed and aware of my surroundings. I've seen plenty of people on their phones or distracted while driving and that's where bad things will happen at speeds that most people are considerably more unlikely to live through. I don't think speed is the issue, I think it is more so the distracted and incompetent drivers that are the problem with driving fast.

How do you figure that? A quick look through Ebay shows that it isn't cheaper to buy 2 pcm's let alone pay someone to set up and tune just one of them. For sure some folks could wait around and find a cheap pcm on gumtree or something and set it up themselves but even then you still need the hardware to do it which is around the $1000 mark.

You mean a drag strip? I went to one recently myself. It cost $100, I did skids and drove my car nearly double the speed limit. I didn't risk anyone's life that hadn't signed up for it and got a total of zero demerits and zero fines.

I see your point about there being a possible raised risk of people doing a runner. I don't however agree with your stance on mandatory and immediate punishment. It is worth noting that police already have discretion about whether or not they want to stop your car and even if they do stop you, whether or not they want to take further action. As for mandatory immediate licence suspension and car impoundment there are obvious reasons why this is a suitable and preferred method of removing offenders and their vehicles from endangering the general public. Do you really want people with so little regard for human life and public safety ie; high range drink driving, excessive speed, dangerous driving, unlawful threatening, sex offenders etc (that is not an exhaustive list by any means) to be able to just resume driving or remain a threat once the police give them some paperwork with a court date and leave the scene? Fark no, they need to be dealt with at the time of offence and in some cases removed from society immediately until a court date. Just my 2c Brb pulling a skid

Lol I just had a slightly closer read of that link I posted and it appears to be for au stuff. It should still provide assistance with search terms at least.

Not taking away from that advice but rather adding to it, I've found aftermarket boost control a breeze to set up compared to the stock ford stuff when learning from scratch. On the plus side the stock stuff does work for 99.9% of applications and is free. I don't know about every pcm but mine has the option of making it manual or auto by ticking a box and inputting trans specs. Mine is designed for the zf though and I don't know what strategies can be flashed into it. It may not be able to run a btr and that's where I'd agree with using the specific ecu for the trans.
-
The pinout is referring to the pins on the ecu and a wiring diagram describes what signals come in or out of those pins. The wiring loom may look identical and be physically transferable (on many cars) but there can be different signals on some of the pins or slightly different internal wiring that prevent a simple ecu or loom swap. From what ralph is saying and what I can vaguely remember you need to rewire the tmap sensor as the wiring is back to front or something. I haven't looked it up for a few years but I know there is some very specific info online about ford tmap sensor wiring and voltage scales. This should get you started. As I said it's been a while but for me since I looked this stuff up but this should clarify some things for you and also give a starting point for your research.
-
That does all make sense and while I don't have the answers myself some guys here can definitely give you solid advice. What I can offer is a recommendation to check out the hp tuners forum. There is a lot of specific tuning and non bolt on modifying advice over there.

Bf xr6 turbo suspension? Issue.
Puffwagon replied to Jaidenbfxr6t's topic in Suspension and Handling
Not all mechanics try to shaft you. My local mechanic only charged me $30 to put my car on the hoist and properly adjust my trans fluid level. Well worth it considering the fark around of doing it in the driveway. I can't see anyone charging much just for a diagnosis even if they are charging $100+ p/h. -
Evening. Getting there, getting there.

That'll do. Same as mercury draught. Woop 1300 posts! Now where's my chicken dinner?

Humor me. Specific density and all bro.

So basically as long as your shart don't stink we're all good. Please repeat that k31th but in algebraic notation.

Where do I sign up for this saucy pass the parcel?
-
I see your point and don't disagree. I also stick to my comment. As for going deeper I'm kinda over it k31th. Like I said I'm on mobile so its a pita to even comment let alone look stuff up to prove a point. My stupid phone has the farken worst predictive text I've ever used. Imo there is fark all you and I can do as individuals to influence the education system in Victoria which is where I'm guessing this came from so we can only really state our views and move on. That's a fair point Cris. We're not all farked. I would look after and protect someone else's kids or missus as I would my own. Edit: more so protect lol. Ain't nobody got time for freeloaders lol.

I see that there are key points we agree upon that are being separated by definition or pedantry. Legislation needs to exist however that is another issue and I agree that mere words on paper won't stop an ill intentioned individual from drink driving or illicit butt farking. To show why my viewpoint is the best current solution is to point out that we currently segregate the genders and that is societies norm. The fact is that we are separated and I would argue that this does prevent crime due to lack of opportunity. Yes we should share when applicable but that would be rarely,in the changeroom context imo. I can add to fluffs sentiment about change rooms; I'm a dad and a loyal husband, I'm also a normal man and would have a boner from here to Mexico if I shared a room with showering naked women. I can obviously control my urge to run over there and fark them all or start jerking off but it is not a comfortable situation for me or anyone else. There are many people who would not or could not restrain themselves.

Not in every situation but in this one, yeah they should. I take my young kids to the toilet to be supervised on the off chance that some sick fark is in there. Ok I'll give you a pointer mate. Look up the ratio of male on female sexual assaults vs the female on female or male in male sexual assaults. Also look up how often mental illness plays a part in sex crimes against children. Then use some common sense to extrapolate those results to a bathroom environment that has exposed genitalia. Then add some mental illness to the mix. Nothing extraordinary about working that out. So guys, should we allow society to choose their own gender no matter their age or mental faculty, based upon their own private agenda and have grown men and women sharing public toilets with vulnerable children and women based on this decision? The world is full is sick farks and my answer is a resounding no.
-
Oh you sweet summer child. The world is not an innocent and nice place. Git yo ass over to live leak. George Michael was caught masturbating in public toilets so I guess they aren't just for weewees and poopoos. Nek minute your kid walks in for a piss and gets jizzed on. Fark that sh*t. I'll happily live with segregation of the genders if it helps prevent sick farks sick farking.

Mental health lies at the heart of this discussion. It isn't normal to want to chop your cock off and grow a set of tits. Your comments appear to suggest that because these things happen we should ignore them when making decisions for society because they will happen anyway. There will be evidence of my allegation and if you really want it then look it up. I'm on mobile right now and cbf. Unfortunately yes. I think the number of farked people that need help or shooting is much higher than 1%. If just one person is affected by another person's deliberate actions then we need to address the problem. It is common knowledge that thousands of people are affected by the issues that we are discussing. Ps we don't live in America. We don't have amendments. Agreed fluff. I can bench your bodyweight in one arm and you can make babies. There is nothing in the world that can make us equal in those regards. It doesn't detract from either of our self worths and doesn't make one of us better than the other. We are just different.
