For what you actualy get it's a ripoff. It isn't an ECU replacement chip, it's basicly a resistor that is intended to make the ECU think that the engine is getting more air than it realy is. In theory the ECU will then add more fuel and you get more power.
In practice the ECU takes about a week to learn (with the help of the O2 sensor) that the resistance has risen and compensates for it.

yeah so what you are saying is the chip on ebay sends messages to the ECU, saying that it is "recieving" cold air, or more anyway. Then in turn supplies more fuel to the engine and ****. Well i think ill take a miss my car uses way too much fuel now anyway.

By the way can anyone replyme a link to any CAI threads on here, like how to's that doesnt involve putting a hole in the resinator. drive a BA

The BA Hatch is called a 'Coupe' in japan, but the only 2 door BAs are the Lynx/323C and the BHA Protege Coupe

323C


Protege coupe

If you really are interested in a 2 door BA Hardtop, then you have no further to look then at our good frien Batman, last time i looked he'd welded the rear doors shut, and is still trying to register his car as a coupe.

Why he chose to do this, well, even Froid would be hard pressed to fathom the workings of our residnet super hero's mind. Who knows why batman does anything but there is a 2 door Hardtop Coupe on Australian shores.

Getting it off his hands? well.... If you ask if you can buy his car you are likely to wake up with the wreck of a burnt out Astina blocking your drive way.

Dearest batman, please don't take umbridge at this post, i'm coming off a 17 hour working day and my brain isn't exactly firing on all cylinders. Loved you in the latest installmeant.

Thats cool matey
Its not actually welded yet but its not far off I just have to widen the track a bit first????
And then there are a few composite parts to be built by yours truely to get it all to work
A lot of work to fit wheels on
Freud tried to unlock the inner bizarreness of the mind of a bat once but found an empty cave
Maybe I just dont agree with a savings account or maybe I am a glutten for punishment
Who knows but there will be a 2 door hardtop in the world
