Clearing Apexi Power FC Error Codes

How do you clear error codes on an Apexi Power FC?

ECU light is constantly on. Bridged the 2 ports of the diagnostic box but nothing happens. Light remains on when engine turned on.

Disconnected battery and removed EFI fuse but still light is on.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Big Brake Kit

Brake dust doesn't bother me. Also looked at mintex m1144 pads which get good reviews.

Genuine Toyota discs or some grooved and drilled ones?

Personally I would go with normal discs but will they warp with the increased heat?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Big Brake Kit

Bob/Peter,

For a road car with the occasional track day would you suggest keeping the standard calipers and getting decent pads (carbotech or similar) or going for full calipers etc?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gear Change Difficult at High RPM/Speed

Bob, why would it not release as well at high rpm's?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gear Change Difficult at High RPM/Speed

I would say quite low compared to other cars I have driven.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gear Change Difficult at High RPM/Speed

Thanks Ryan, would be useful to read.

Just been out in the car and gear changes at low speeds/rpm's go into gear but are very notchy (not smooth at all). Could the issues be related?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Gear Change Difficult at High RPM/Speed

Could it be synchro issues? Although would this happen at all RPM's?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Gear Change Difficult at High RPM/Speed

Hi all,

At high RPM (5k-7k) and high speed I find it hard to put it into the next gear. This is happening in 3rd, 4th and 5th.

I am going to change the gear box oil but before I do so, has anyone seen this before? Is it fatal?

Thanks in advance
