Mixture Meter Connection
Re your Mixture Display for Fuel Injected Cars kit (AutoSpeed Shop) - it makes no mention of how you
connect to the oxygen
sensor of the car when it
is already connected to the car’s existing ECU. Do
you connect in series? Will the sensor still operate the add-on kit plus the car’s ECU?

The easiest approach is to strip some insulation from the oxygen sensor
signal wire near the connection to the ECU. Connect the mixture display’s signal
wire to the exposed section of wire and re-insulate using electrical tape or
heat-shrink tube. In this configuration,
the mixture display is wired in parallel.
Morris Suspension Answer
In response to Bruce’s
email about Morris 1100 suspension in Response... Ihave played about with these a bit over the years and may
be able to help him out with some better hydrolastic units. Can you pass
on this email -madmorrie@optusnet.com.au
- so he can contact
me? Alternatively, he
can look up this site for more links on 1100s -

Coffee Maker into Water Injection Pump
I’ve got a question for
you. Have you guys thought about doing a water injection system with the
coffee maker pump? That
would be cool, because the
Aquamist system – although good - is
expensive.

Yes, the coffee maker pump would be great for a water injection system – as
we mentioned in
World's Best Intercooler Water Spray, Part 1.
However, we
haven’t yet tried it in this application.

Re STi is the limit... Those rims are actually imitation
Volk Racing Rays Rims - as
can be shown by the picture in the article which reads "Vork Ravs"... Just thought I'd point that out! They are still probably very good rims, but I am sure
they'd weigh slightly more than the originals - and cost a hell of a lot less!

Thanks for a great magazine guys - keep up the good work! Just a small query regarding your article STi is the limit... You state in the article that
"These do a good job blackening the 18 inch Volk Racing Rays
alloys". I think you'll
find that the rims aren’t
actually Volk Racing Rays alloys, but a very popular copy which has been getting around as of late.
The stickers on the rims actually say Vork Racing Ravs!

Well spotted – article now
corrected!
Tommy Kaira Up for Grabs
I noticed an error in one of your articles last year -
Captured Kaira - when you said "But, as far as we’re aware, there’s only
one genuine Tommy Kaira
vehicle in Australia – and it’s this immaculate R32 GT-Rowned by Scott X of Queensland." So I'm just making you aware that
there are actually two more genuine Tommy
Kaira cars in Australia. I
own one of them. I'm actually
selling it at the moment - and for a very cheap price considering how rare genuine Tommy Kaira cars
are! My car (and another
one in Perth) is a Tommy Kaira M30Z - aspecial edition Tommy Kaira modified 300ZX. You can see more info on it at my
website dedicated to the M30Z:
www.neuralmotion.com/m30z/ Feel free to contact me at
msnorth@bigpond.net.au
if you would like any more
info.

Thanks for pointing that out – looks like a great car.
Pressure Switch Adjustment
I purchased a Pressure/Vacuum Switches
and was hoping there were instructions as to how to
increase the sensitivity. Is it difficult to do and can you provide me with some basic
instructions?

Could you please advise if you have done a road test on the 2006 Honda Accord Luxury and the Euro Luxury?

earlier versions -
