You'll then need to do a internet search for "How to grow an Extra Leg" ...

as the correct formula is :

No of legs = no of pedals  - System Operative

If

No of pedals > no of legs - System failure.

I just have a quick question regarding the Ignition timing Retard... I know that to some of you this will be common knowledge........

Ignition Timing Retard
Unplug the engine ECU and remove the connector from its hood (1 screw)
Locate the Bk/R wire on pin 42, cut off as far from pin 42 as possible (can do this further up the loom if preferred) then solder to one of the thin Brown wires and tape joint

Can someone let me know why this has to be done? Is it because the ignition setup is slightly different from the auto to manual setup?

Thanks in advance al answers greatly appreciated.

Technically, the correct way is to reprogram the engine ECU, the ABS ECU and the MID.

There is an ignition retard to reduce power for gear changes.
