Aftermarket ECU options for EU/JDM MAP 4age

Was wondering what the common options are for engine management with map 4ages?

I know megasquirt is the most common US but I read that this only works with afm not map 4age's?

Thanks

Fault codes

I had similar symptoms in a corolla gt many years back.
Turned out to be faulty throttle position sensor.


If there isn't any warning lights showing is it still worth checking for fault codes?

Misfire / bad shaking - Diagnosis help

Update:

Update: Replacing the light switch mechanism did fix the dash lighting but had 0 effect on the pop-ups. I fixed the pop-ups by replacing the relay.

Lighting Issue ?? Switch ? Pop-ups ?

So my instrument cluster (spedometer etc) hasn't been lighting up since I bought the car and from some research online I recon this is down to the actual switch since mine is a little dodgy and that's a common issue. But my passenger pop-up has just stopped working and I wanted to know if this could...

What alloys people using?

So I've just bought a mk1 and the one of the rear OEM wheels is cracked so I am looking to replace all the wheels.

Just wondered what other people were rocking?
Also, any recommendations on where to buy alloys?

Include pics if you've got any :D
