What have you done to your Car today?

  1. Yes it is mate, but it don't know where it was mapped or to what fuel as it was done before I got it.

    The cat was literally falling to bits inside, and Mark reckons it was partially blocking the exhaust and causing the car to limp and misfire. It seems ok now, I'm phoning RS tuning tomorrow to get it booked in to check the mapping and if it's pants I'll have one of their custom Stage 1 maps done.
     
  2. should always use the super unleaded treat the girl right!
     
  3. Tyres pressure checked due to cold weather.

    Fitted lower wishbone mounts
    Arb bushes
    Rear camber shims
    Uprated exhaust hangers
    Removed the dash and a load of wiring
    Checked the tracking
    Road test!!
     
  5. I do mate but you know what women are like, it's all the same to them. At least she put some in, when she borrowed my last Meg she ran it so low I ran out after half a mile!

    Got it booked it in for a stage 1 remap at RS tuning next Friday, will be interesting to see what power it makes now (a RR printout I was sent says 251/258) and once it's been done by RST. Hopefully 260/280 with the decat, I wouldn't argue with a tad more though. :smiley:
     
  6. What's it feel like to drive with all the weight gone and uprated handling Mark?

    Get it done lad!
     
  18. Middle box chop done! Love it sounds perfect now. Deeper tone and more pops and bangs on the over run. No drone at all so win win.

    Then left the car in Ed's (liquidf1) hands for a full detail. Looking forward to Tuesday to pick her up!
     
  19. Glad you are liking the box chop. Makes the world of difference. And on track I only registered 84dB.
     
  20. I love it mate, after your vid I was sold. The only downside I'd I only got to enjoy it for 40 mins as the car is with Ed being detailed now! Glad to hear the noise levels are perfect for track to.
     
  21. Donington 6th December Corey ?
     
  22. I'll check the diary Steve, looking at brands hatch on the 14 th with Ed and a few others. Ed is trying to get Martin to come as well. It's a Sunday which makes life easier for me.

    Picked her up from Ed's special detail bunker. Ridiculous levels of clean, debaged too and was able to enjoy the pops and bangs from the mid box chop on the way home. Very happy
