Yes mate, finally back in an FD.

its a TEC turbo H300. I think the oil seal has gone. Just need it stripped and rebuilt.

Managed to get my car started after it had been sitting for a while and I am now getting oil in the rear housing of the turbo. I have a single turbo FD.

I am assuming the oil seal has failed in the turbo. Does anyone know of anyone in the essex area that can rebuid my turbo with new seals?

Thanks

Andreas

Just picked up ecu from electrical shop and they couldn\'t find a fault with it. TBH I don\'t think they even looked at it. Apparently could not test it as they can\'t put power to it.

Going to have a search on the net and see if there is anyone else local that can look at it.

I tried my ecu in my mates car and it had the same senors reading in error. Have now taken the ecu to my local electrical repair store. Hopefully they can fix it for me. Will keep you posted.

Thanks mate. I have checked all the grounds on the car. I cleaned them and tightened them up. I\'ll recheck the one\'s on the front slam panel. I have bought a multi meter. How do you check the voltage at the ecu 4d and  3i? Is this done with the ecu plugged in or out? Sorry if it\'s a stupid question.

How are you getting on with the fault on yours?  Have you managed to eliminate if its ecu or loom/sensor related?

Popped the apexi open and all looks good. Can\'t see anything burnt out. Will have to try it in a mates car to see if it works. Then it will indicate a problem with the loom, not the ECU (PFC).

Ive got a similar problem on my car. The same sensors are not reading plus the water buzzer is going off. When I unplug them they read voltage on pfc. Ive checked all the grounds and they seem fine. Don\'t know what to try next.

LOL!! I\'d bet you\'d love to get your hands all over that....












.....FD!!

Lisa,

I understand your point of view but if the tables were turned and u were £300 out of pocket i\'m sure u wouldn\'t be defending the company.

I explained to them that i was only insuring the car as to not loose out on my NCB as i have 6 years and was told it expires if not used within 2 years. It was 2 years so decided to insure it on the chassis number even though the car was not ready to be registered. They told me there was a 30 day limit. I asked if this was not met what would be the consequences. She explained that they could extend it as long as i advised them.

Before xmas the car was not complete and the garage had closed for xmas. I advised them this and they extended the deadline by 15 days. Now that made it the 7th jan 2011. Considering what i had told her that extension was not long enough. The car has only gone back to the garage the weekend just gone. All i got was a phonecall from Mary having a rant at me about missing the deadline and she basically made it quiet obvious that she never wanted to help me out and that she was going to cancel my policy.

I asked about suspending the policy etc and she told me to claim back compensation from the garage. I told her polietly that if i was to say that to a garage that is doing a job on my car costing £800-£900 and i wanted them to contribute to my loss they would politely tell me where to go.

The problem is this, if she wanted to have my business she would have found a way round it. That defines a good company from a bad company in my opinion. But she felt the need to enforce the full letter of the law which she is well within her right, and good luck to her. But she wont get my busniess again or any recommendations to friends.

I wait now for my refund and i will battle it all the way. I\'ve paid them £440 to date, lets see how long they sit on my hard earned cash before i see anything back from them. If they were a fair company they\'d just charge me 45 days (which was the length of the insurance) plus their so called admin fee for doing their job.

My younger brother just cancelled his insurance with another company and this was how they settled his cancellation.

So for my premium a fair company would charge £130 plus admin fee and this company will take £310 plus admin fee (based ion annual premium of £1035).

I will keep this thread posted with my progress.

Thanks
End of rant!

I found these below last week when searching for trackday insurance and straight away signed up to them after talking Malcolm (Casey) who had had all the fine print checked out as this policy seem too good to be true,

They will only insure modified cars and the attraction was that within the policy 4 track days are included which can cost £400 plus alone

Also I got an agreed valuation on the RX-8 which no other company would give and paid £520

Company is /

Hope this helps

(Whoops wrong log in)

Got my rotary insured with these guys as suggested and have just been robbed!!! Spoke with Mary who set up my policy and shes just cancelled it for me cos i never got the car registered in time!! Bloody daylight robbery. Premium was just over £1000 and you have to pay 30% cancellation fee. i.e. a loss of over £300.

Thought they were a good company???

I think there company sucks and would not remmond them to anyone! No felxibility at all with their policies.

Yeah that\'s hurley\'s old show car.

Front bumper is Veilside D1, rest of the kit is chargespeed.

Very nice looking motor mate, looks even better in the flesh!!

How about draining the fuel out and filling up with V power and seeing if it works then??

Or has it already blown?

Very nice my man!!! This is gonna be one seriously quick twin turbo car!!! With lashings of Carbon Fibre everywhere and a whole load of mazdaspeed goodies.

Hat\'s off to Kerim for building another sweet rex, some good cars coming out of Powergains now.

Mines booked in for the Powergains treatment too!!

Very nice figures mate! Is 6500rpm when you\'re hitting full boost as this is where your tourque curve peaks?

Was expecting a flatter torque line like Keiths Dyno sheet.
