********************************************************************************

Scenario :-

- Weather - the WORST ???floodin' in the East

- Arrival @ Port Seton ? 0700 hrs ( 2 hrs early !! I was keen to avoid traffic but overestimated, sought Optimax & fodder, read EVO

- Sleep - hee haw for 48 hours prior to arrival due to work commitments & imbalance of leisure time ( i.e staying up late to compensate for working long hourse! e.g watch Fifth gear @ 0100 & researching remaps face-icon-small-wink.gif)

- Reason for visit - seeking a PPP-a-like for my WRX, more ponies, torque and generally satisfying my modding epidemic ( £1300 blown this month face-icon-small-blush.gif)

- AF's Premises - undisclosed but bugger to find @ 0700hrs until the main man arrives ! Otherwise, heavenly and full of bits that induce nudgers

- State of mind - bricking it yet excited, keen to meet Andy, knackered, apprehensive, awe @ the 210mph beast, more intrepidation & urge to buy hybrid turbo's

Preparation

- Inform Andy of wish list - economy map & b-road / track day map, on optimax, low down grunt of key importance, ability to urinate on Elises @ KH

- Mods - K&N panel, Samco hoses on intercooler, Scoobysport BB, afterburner centre decat & unresonated section, Turbo XS RFL VTA DV.

- Previous results - 213 ft/lbs @ 3800 rpm ........230 bhp @ 6000 rpm - not too shabby but could do better / torque gash

- Checks - basemap, laptop, licenses, EGT & AFR sensors, det cans for 'drews in-car Dj stints face-icon-small-happy.gif, alert driver, puddle avoidance sonar on max. range.

Onroad Mapping

- assess health of chariot off boost

- sort out the economy map ( 0.6 bar .....)

- ascertain optimum parameters for "fun-mode" ( 1.1 bar - cannot go more due to up-pipe causing limiting EGT temps - fully expected and I knew decats were ultimately required - still happy

- load car on and off boost at variety of revs - WOW !!! Andy hits all important demister button to go into fun mode and the WRX feels alive.

- perform final checks and return to rendezvous point to chat & wait for arrival of Bing ( Stevie Crosbie with recent mods)

Andy F Review - dedicated, honest, knowledgeable, flexible, trustworthy and generally a millers swilling scooby worshipper who reportedly shares a kingsize Scooby Doo duvet with his very understanding wife - in summary, he's like Ronseal - does what it says on the tin but with octane additives

Head home to ABZ - despite being in boost investigation mode, smoking every rep.mobile at the Forth road bridge tolls, and generally being hyper active at the prospect of new lease of life I'm totally bushed and pull over for 15 minute kip before Dundee due to 3 near misses where I drift off temporarily at wheel.
