Remove all sound deadening, have you decided whether to remove the heater matrix? I would remove all sound deadening including those behind the dashboard.

don't ditch the heater if you plan to drive the car to / from trackdays.

early starts with no heater don't work very well. Misted up screen and freezing cold drive to the track isn't very enjoyable!

Think prawny is using one of them Motorsport shifters, they are a nice bit of kit, I like the look of it very much. Unfortunately for me I'm probably going to stick to the original one for a while. Having moved the shifter up provides a much better transition from gear change to steering, I can keep both hands on the wheel longer which is nice as I don't have power steering.

ME7 is kind of a half way house, it's narrowband still, but has DBW throttle and a map sensor. Still a 512kb ECU also.

Easily upgraded to me7.5 though with the addition of the wideband lambda loom from a later car, and if you went for a BAM or AMK file you could also retrofit the EGT function which would be well worth it.

Wideband lambda?? Isnt that a post cat lambda? As the ARZ has both (mine does anyway) does that mean I can just plug a me7.5 in??

Ok so been thinking about the above question!
So did a search and found my own thread!  :laugh:
I think these were posted when my notifications were not working and I didn't see then ha
Anyway the arz has two lambda but it is narrowband (has four wires rather than five)

But I am wanting to convert from me7.1 to me7.5 but I also noticed the arz doesn't have a traction control button (although I always turn it off!)
Would this matter?
