well been a while since an update - had a starting problem with the car but its all sorted now
turned out to be a faulty fuel sender unit inside the tank so a trip to eurocarparts for a new bosch unit sorted the problem out and its been fine since!
anyway after doing a bit of research and finding it on ebay and recognising the name i decided to bid on something and won
its a van aaken smartbox and unlike the cheap tuning boxes, i know of a few mates with these on their cars including an accord 2.2 diesel, i also did some research on the net to see if they are any good.
anyways i won the item for £36 and brand new they were around the £290 ive heard so bargain! got round to fitting it just so when i go to work later ill see how it feels and over the next week or so will see if i notice a difference, then its a K&N panel filter and rolling road time to see true results!
heres some pics fitted:
obviously when i get more time over the next day or 2 ill fit it more hidden and neat
comments welcome good or bad!
