I don't have a multimeter... just do the test of plugging in a different device and seeing if it works! Sat nav still works fine and gets power... just not the dashcam, and like I said... tested in my wifes car and no power from it either!

Well that was short lived... in car charger for the dashcam has stopped working. Tested it in my wifes car and it is totally dead. I know it wasn't the most expensive unit in the world but still, expected better from a £45 dashcam!

Personally... I would go down the custom route. Potential problem with bolt on stuff is that it could still take a bit of work to make fit. My centre pipe didn't line up with my back box very well and took a bit of force to get them to line up (force being to stretch the rubber hangers a bit) so even tho it's a direct bolt on... sometimes it's not as straight forward. Custom made will more than likely avoid this as it is designed to specifically to your car... will still sound fantastic and cheaper. Sounds like win-win! Apart from the waiting bit....... that kinda sucks :D

I have no idea... I saw he quite clearly looked and saw me, the other car approaching stopped... he obviously just went "I have a BMW... so neuww"

Got a few knobs on my home from work this morning! I was so excited since i have the dashcam i had to edit them and get them on youtube before going to bed XD First we have a classic lane hogger: Then we have a Corsa who was patient enough to let me overtake... then impatient enough to overtake on the roundabout. The barrier on the roundabout makes it difficult for me to see since I'm in the right hand lane, which is why I slow down so much... then quickly followed by a BMW who thinks he has right of way.

Yeh it's a long video and you would have to be incredibly bored to watch the whole thing :D

No worries mate, just chancing my arm :D

Couple of comfy looking beemers @ 2:14 Drive up to Forth Road Bridge @ 6:10 Young guy in a Yaris who was loving the smell of my exhaust @ 7:34 Supra @ 15:50 Interesting Type-R @ 18:28

Would the braided brake lines fit a newage?

I thought so to! Didn't think it was even going to fit through the letterbox tbh!

That's a stunning colour!

Nah no software with it... was one of the cheaper units at only £45 so can't complain too much!

My wheels are the standard WRX 17"... I'll fit them tomorrow and take some pics! I did get a fright when the postie delivered them.... they made an almighty thud when they hit the floor!!

Got my dashcam all setup, cables hidden and working! Bit disappointed as the dashcam makes my car sound quiet! It's not overly loud compared to a lot of other scoobs out there but still... I'll get a video up later on tonight, probably of me going to work over the forth road bridge! Edit: Come to think of it... my car has quietened down a little bit since having a service. Is that normal? :D

Received mine, look brilliant! Now just need to get my wheels refurbished to bring them up to the same quality as the nuts XD

You sir... need faster internet :D

Welcome!! Always nice to see fellow Scots join the forums :D

Fingers crossed Gambit!

Any other old school Doom fans excited for this game? I'm super excited for this....

I've just ordered a dashcam, should be here tomorrow!! So i'll start contributing some glorious views of Scotland soon enough :D

Yeh after various googling I found the same information, from the man Andy F: Ignition timing This is determined mainly from the MAF sensor and the engine speed. There are maps for high octane and low octane fuels and the ECU selects between them depending on knock sensor activity. The ECU also learns ignition timing from the knock sensor and effectively sculptures these maps over time. Pre 1999 models !Removed! the timing in an area of the map if the knock sensor was ever active. 1999/2000 models will try periodically to advance the ignition again. 2001 and later models run very actively on the knock sensor and adapt very quickly. The practicality of this is that resetting the ECU should be performed on pre 1999 cars if a higher octane fuel is used or if just recovering from a tank of “bad fuel” as sometimes happens. This will enable the ECU to relearn more appropriate ignition timing for the present fuel. It is not worth resetting later models. On 1999/2000 models, typically after twenty or so miles, the ECU has adapted quite a lot. There is no need with any car to excessively load the engine on the brakes or by putting four heavy blokes in the car and driving up long hills. If anything excessive load will only expose the car to more detonation and it will learn more pessimistic ignition timing!

Looks great! Welcome to the club! :D

MCM literally just did a video on this :D

Top Gear is now officially dead....

Had my car serviced for the first time since owning her! Nothing major to report, front discs are around 60% worn and the rear anti roll bar and bushes had a little play, so just wear and tear really! I should be able to change these parts myself :D
