no, it'll just return it to factory setting that think you have the regular air filter and 1.25in exhaust.

looked at your plugs or air filter recently?

k well that being said i wont do it just yet. im changing the O2 sensor asap as well as my cat, if its still blowing il get it looked at. i need a new filter, but this one is fine, just old... lol
as for plugs they are clean, very clean..

lol ok so i followed this threadhttp://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8251
and after doing everything i got no codes. as in nothing. after which i proceded to check to see if the terminals are working and i found that the ten terminal is not working, as going by what it says there conecting TEN to GND makes a circuit for diagnostics... well when i conect ten to the gnd no current flows thru it, not even a little bit to make the test light even faign... so does anyone know what the hell?

how many Litres per 100 km should a series 3 BA astina be using

Cause currently i think its using around 10.5 litres my car is auto

DavoAust · 02-08-2009, 06:03 PM

thats not too bad. autos are a bit thirstier than manuals, but it depends on how you drive.

i get around 9-10L per 100km, but i flog it a fair bit. sees a lot of 3500+ rpm

Does anyone know if aero mirrors are legal to just put on in NSW or do they need an engineering certificate?

I had a look at the RTA site and their main points are:

Owner certified minor modifications are generally those modifications which were optional equipment for the vehicle concerned. Owner certified modifications also include some non-standard modifications of a minor nature which do not affect the level of safety, strength or reliability of vital systems such as brakes and steering. These modifications have little or no impact upon the vehicle’s level of compliance with the Australian Design Rules.

Bodywork and interior
There are general requirements concerning alterations to the bodywork:
- No alteration may cause a hazard to persons due to exposed sharp edges or projections; and
- No alteration may cause a reduction in the level of safety or overall strength of the vehicle.

The only thing I see with aero mirrors requiring an engineering certificate is because they would probably have a slightly smaller mirror than the standard one which "may cause a reduction in the level of safety". May...
