Lloyd, as long as you clean it afterwards

GE, best we don't talk about the warranty Needless to say i've kept the old injectors! I think the deeler has me sussed as I found out he reads the Exige forums Should be ok though. Standard brakes but they are very good. Drilled though, which can be a problem.

AJs, I borrowed it from work. I used to use it for gas turbine blade / combustion inspections, but i've let a few people borrow it for home use now

Gaz, I didn't enjoy cutting the injecotr wires - sort of feels like you are ruining it Happy now it's sorted though.

Here's a couple of clips of it on the move. First is just some in gear stuff, and the second is a 0-60 launch which I wasn't even trying on, and it still flies

Also just had it dyno'd and the AFR looks fine which means I fitted the injectors properly and the ECU is working well.

It came out as 206 ATW or 245 AFT which is a bit lower than expected, but the ECU is still learning and these cars HATE being on a dyno. Each run was dropping about 3 bhp due to heat. If there was a feed to the intakes and the top feed to the aftercooler I would think 260 was realisitc

We moved the ramps and got the fan right upto the nose, but it's not enough really.

I need a passenger lap at Anglesey Mark.

Took a work mate out for a little blat around the business park roundabouts this week. Engine not warm so limited at 6k or whatever it is. Scared him shitless. Back in the office he advised every one that it's stupid but not as great at handling at Lotus make out because it fishtailed out of the roundabout... I did not have the heart to tell him about lead feet!

It's this mistaking "roadholding" for "handling" that makes so many modern cars boringly over-tyred.

Cheers for the offer Mark - sounds like I need another trip down to the civilised world!

No I am with a decent insurance company

CB - people like that just don't get it, and also annoy me! I assume he drives a Rover?

Since no-one else asked, why not get a live remap rather than a post away jobbie?

None available yet. Post map is close enough on a standard car.
