Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy pre fabricated lines. Also getting new lines made out of 'Bundy Tube' is better than what Mazda originally supplied as is does not really corrode, being made of cupro-nickel (a mix of copper and nickel). They would last longer than the car probably. I found anoth...

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, but I found an interesting link on making double flares for anyone else who is interested. http://www.joesfalcon.com/gentip2/gentip2.html Has anyone else made their own brake lines? The guy at my local garage (where I often hang out and annoy him) uses 'bundy...

The guy at the local garage said he would do it for me cheap if I took off the brake lines myself and brought them to him along with any new unions that were needed. He said its not hard taking them off or fitting them, its just making the new ones right thats the problem. So I will probably get him...

Hi, I failed on this: 001 (both front to rear) brake pipe excessively corroded. 002 (both rear) brake pipe excessively corroded. I'm new to cars in general, so it would really help me out if you could answer a few questions for me. ( My car is a 93 1.8 ) 1. What is the easiest way to drain the brake...

Has anyone else used these EPROM swaps?

What are the advantages of running a megasquirt over using the KL31, from my understanding the KL31 ECU should be more than capable of adapting itself to cope with minor mods. I thought it was only necessery to remap or go standalone if you were doing something bigger, like using more agressive cams...

Any Ideas where I can find a KL31 ECU in the UK?

And how much do they go for?


I tried Nippon but they have not got any in.

Has anyone got an ECU with the number K862?

If so:

1. What yaer car do you have?
2. Is your car ODBI or OBDII?

Has anyone got a picture of an MX3 OBDII ECU so that I can look at the difference.

Also a picture of an ECU that is deffinately OBDI would be great.

I have a problem now. I just called the guy selling the MX3's and got him to give me the numbers on the ECU of both cars. It turns out they are both K862 from reading the info in the last post, does this mean that it could not have the OBDII connector under the dash but still be the wrong car to use...

SOME INTERESTING FINDS ABOUT ECU's and OBD. I found this info on another post.(its not written by me) I've been doing some more research on this subject. Up to now, I've always assumed my '97 model was OBDII, because it has a four-connector ECU and it's a '97. But it turns out that it has no Diag C...

You can tell by looking under the hood LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. The diagnostic connecter should be on the right hand side by the firewall if your looking at the car from standing in front of it. If its under the hood its OBDi. LOOK UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL BY YOUR FEET. If there is a diagnostic connecto...

I just found out that you can tell by checking for a diagnostics connector under the dash somewhere that looks this: http://www.cohesionmultimedia.co.uk/ecu/OBDII.jpg I am still interested in knowing to tell by looking at the ECU just to make sure i gan get it right when I go to buy the car!!![/url]

The reason I am asking these questions is because I am going to buy an MX3 today from a guy who has two 1995 MX3's for sale. In the UK that is the year they changed from OBDI to OBDII so I need to know how to tell if an MX3 is OBDI or OBDII So how can I look at an ECU and tell if it is an OBDI or OB...

I need to know for sure if it is OBDI or OBDII before I buy the car.

If you know anything about ECU's can you take a look and let me know.

Can you tell by the numbers on the ECU?

Or by anything under the hood?

How else can you tell if a car is OBDII
