Yep I saw your car in there last time he was mapping my turbo car. Was that for the diff?

Romain is very good, he spends a long time talking you through things and can fully explain how the figures on the dyno are arrived at. Very interesting. I have years of theoretical mapping knowledge, but he has filled some big gaps I had

I'd agree Romain is good, hes done a great job on the DC2 Race car for us. Showed me a lot about what he was doing any why, very open. Would recommend him.

If you want to make your car look better - go and remove the wiper arms and then look again ... did this to mine last night whilst i'm repainting them ( £45 each from Honda i'm not getting new ones ) the car looks totally different.

It's got an A'Pexi Power FC Mark, not ideal but it was on the car when we got it, and thus it was free.

Hi All,

Mark the Diff is being fitted tomorrow so hope to let you know how it goes noise wise soon....sounds as if yours is getting quieter?? Hopefully a new ECU at end of month when Mase comes over and ready for this season to start mid April.

Adriank's single Buddy Club exhaust going on and fingers crossed it will pass the decibel test.

All we need is a Driver as I'm banned till April!!!

Oh and I cant seem to find the Roll Cage thread, any news on that ??

Banned?! I hope it was for a 3 figure speed?

I hope that's a high decibel level too!

Diff is no worse, but DMS are going to take it apart when it goes back for coilover work next month. It is a fiddly setup.

Rollcage thread is in the FS forum somewhere I think! Have a look back a few pages.

I have a slight whine with my gears, its not too bad but it was some of the first ricks final drives so there was a known whine due to how the gears were cut.

The combo of the supercharger whine, exhaust and whine from the diff when you boot it, gives you an addictive/enticing kinda mellow sounding fighter plane sound. The few people that's been in my car comment is sounds good and very enticing. My mate said "your cars gives off a noise like its saying go on you know want to boot me"
