I may have got the wrong Richmod.....argh!

Ok, so I got the richmod before I got the car as it came up and I was pretty certain it would fit....the Richmod is a blue one....the car is late 93.....

I just edited this actually because I checked what I thought was the ecu but it was the module with the metal box and that had a green label on it.....

I will have to check properly tomorrow now but does this mean that my ecu is a 'green' ecu.....?

Excuse my ignorance on such things....

Anyway, I like the car but it does have a slightly erratic idle at times and the autobox went a bit mad at one point but other then that, 480 ownership is treating me well, just want a bit more poke!

Well its great to talk to myself on here eh?

:lol:

Anyway, I was of course looking at the wrong ecu.

I have now located my turbo ecu, discovered it was thankfully blue :hopping: , swapped them over and am now very impressed with the difference. :D

It has tranfsormed the car. :kill:

Nice. :twisted:

I will go talk myself out loud now instead of on here.

byeeee.

Regarding your autobox, refresh the ATF and add a bottle of lubegard before you destroy it with the richmod. Lubegard does wonders for the ZF box, google for it.

Nice one mate. I appreciate that. Duly noted and I'm about to go google it now. :)
