Any Pictures of the lenses mate

[NickB787]

they will go in the post tomorrow will do as soon as I get them, wonder what I do with a spare lens?

[NickB787]

all ready for tomorrow, weeeee, I have left the under trays off for not so bit easier to do the geo, I put the new Spitfire brace bar on, it can slide down so it clears the 3 inch exhaust system.

What time is the car in? Good luck, if I'm not already too late.

lets hope its go with throttle up

[NickB787]

well it's back it did pass just, the lambda's were a bit out but we got it through. I went and put a few miles on it a few things I noticed was that the throttle is very twitchy needs the sensitivity turning down, although it's much better after about 35 lies so the ecu is learning a bit. there is also a big flat are at present between @ 3-4.5 rpm almost as it needs more air, I am hoping that a few sessions driving down the road at Courtenays with a laptop attached should do it, booked in for early next month. I am taking it easy as I haven't driven a performance car for 18 months and I want to be careful. wheel spin will not be a problem me thinks.

Still awaiting the lens they went walkabout in the post, hope I get them ok. I put the New Spitfire bace bar which Gaz sent me today this one is adjustable up and down and best news is it clears my 3" 2ublar system. gives about 15mm clearance. I used the bolts which came with it but as they are alan head ones I will change them for hex head as they have a lower profile( thinking of under tray clearance) also on the full brace bar photo you will notice a drip mark on the drive thats from the driveshaft seal which has decided to leak and needs changing, more work... Just posted from my gallery, can't figure out how just to post the pictures with not comments

wow, thats very low. Are you going to use huge spacers for the rear undertray/diffuser or make a few holes?

[NickB787]

I used to have the undertray lower using vibration mounts but seems they can't take the environment so I will use threaded rods as Leevx2.2 has done (looks for pics) to lower my TAT diffuser. You can see why I will change the heads to hex.

[NickB787]

been messing around with my suspension and needed a temp geo so I tried the seloc sting way and must say I am pleased with the results, just theed to tweek the steering wjheel though I hate it when they are not exactly straight. Off to Courtenays tomorrow for what I hope is the final tweeks for the map. Will have to run undertrays off as I need to lower the rear difuser more for the spitfire brace bar, not much but ran out of time today.

Well just walked in, things didn't go so well. Car won't run well almost like having a flat spot from 2000-5000 rpm almost 2 days they worked on it one for the guys at Courtenays again they never give up Turns out much of the problem is down to the map being modified from a turbo one which see the boost/timing of a turbo and s/c as something completely different. Klassen is working on modding the map as he needs to find some info regarding timing which is buried somewhere in it. One thing though I never expected to see that they would succumb to bribes there was this chap there when I arrived and he had his car on the dyno all he wanted though was for them to print a plot showing 313bhp and 262 torque, wow that case of beer worked, great result Haggi well done nice to catch up with you.
