Major car dramas, had to take the blower off and change it back to standard, now the car wont start at all. Do any of you guys have any suggestions for me????

Nah it kept chewing up belts on me....... Turns out it has wrecked the mounting bracket so it was only attached to the car by two bolts instead of 7 bolts.........

At the end of the day i just got way too annoyed with it so its of and will be sold this year so i can get a V8........

MR51MN · 25-03-2011, 03:44 PM

Just a heads up to thos using a flash box in their car, it turns out my car has died as a result of running the flash box. When i tried to put it back to standard it has messed up the computer requiring a fullnew one to be installed before the car will even start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

buggo · 25-03-2011, 08:19 PM

Far out who's your tuner, has he done many Falcons before?

This is not as uncommon as some believe; it's not the Flash Box parse, but the ICC gets a bit old and blows up when a tune is loaded.
I know of two that went bang last year. $1300.00ea from FoA. Save your pennies.

Awesome, thought it might be that much, as a result i am trading the car in as soon as its fixed and i will not flash tune another falcon again. Anymore mods to a falcon for me will see a full aftermarket computer put in!!!!!

.OZZY. · 02-04-2011, 01:41 PM

thought I'd pop this up here, a cruise by hardtuned.net

A bit radical, I think; all these components have a service life. I mean you wouldn't get rid of a car due to a tire being flat......
The ECC is just another electrical component... if you shove an aftermarket computer in the thing it will have a service life, just like the current unit.

I get where you are comming from, but i have had nothing but drama with trying to get this car to run right, it has been drama after drama, full aftermarket computer would allow everything to be more accurately changed and logged, besides with an aftermarket computer, i wont be told a year after i get it that it cant be retuned unless i spen another 800 on a new flash box......................

Not good, those guys have proven to be rip off merchants time and again. Did you originally buy from them?

MR51MN · 09-04-2011, 10:11 AM

Yeah got it from klosters in the first place!!!!!!!! Less than impressed.....

.OZZY. · 10-04-2011, 10:16 AM

One of the clown sales guys at Crossroads Mazda, went to buy an "Unspoken"car and thats the news I got, i laughed and walked out.....

.OZZY. · 11-04-2011, 10:13 PM

what did he say lol I actualy bought my car from their and the salesmen I bought it off seen it not long ago when we were looking for a new car for my girlfreind.

Might have seen the black bonnet and thought it was mine haha

I do get texts every now and then from people "just seen you at **** (where ever)" and I'm like ummmm wasnt me..

EVL.54L · 11-04-2011, 10:27 PM

Have a look at both Avatars... They look so alike

MR51MN · 12-04-2011, 12:23 PM

I know, all i need is the bad boy front bar and my Old 20s back on it and i would be getting inthe wrong car if we went on a cruise!!!!

My Fiance see's Ozzy every now and then as he lives close to the mother in law, and every time she dose she gets really angry cause she see's Ozzy's other half in the passenger seat and thinks its me with some other chick, its quite ammusing

XRGhia · 12-04-2011, 02:36 PM

bahaha... the reaction would be gold!

MR51MN · 12-04-2011, 04:19 PM

Ha ha ha ha it would be, except for the times where she is tried from work and dosent thing about it before i get into trouble, then its an effort to point it out to here
