  1. Dreghorn is normally about 5p a litre dearer than anywhere else and i really had to double check what pump i picked up No i have had this car a couple of weeks now
  2. Turbo is in the happy zone, has much more to give but gearbox will cry foul before the turbo does. Not a restrictor but Andy did check it out prior to mapping just to make sure it was not going to be an issue
  3. Lol That battle has yet to commence but i would like to take the Banana to Skye
  4. Stopped off at Dreghorn to fill up prior to visiting Andy and was shocked that the V-Power was 94p a litre, Arkleston in Paisley was 97p last night when i put £20 in it. Beautiful day for a trip down the A1 with Andy on the laptop rewriting the Map Spent the last week or so fitting and rejigging some items prior to todays mapping session. Fitted a Fuel-labs Fuel Pressure Regulator, supplied by Lateral Performance, to replace the std one that was fighting a losing battle against the Bosch 044 in the boot Also fitted Andyjdmsti's old RCMS Filter, after some minor trimming and modding, to get rid of the foam mushroom filter that was in there Fitting this size of filter required a drastic relocation of the W/S Washer bottle from its initial positon of behind the O/S Headlight to its new position of behind the drivers seat Sourced a PLX Wideband sensor and guage from Ebay, humble gratitude to Jimser and thanks to C&C the sensor was fitted in place. Control unit and Sensor brain was mounted, thanks to having no heating system on the baulkhead and remote control for the wideband is mounted in the now defunct airvent Thanks to my old man for the Gauge mount, he worked on the QE2 you know Boot was rejigged to allow me to carry such useless items as a jack and spare. Relocated number plate from front bumper to bonnet and fitted a Pink I badge, extra 100hp, that i found under the spare wheel of the Blue car Mapping went well and, i know it is said a million times before, the car feels so different. Pootling about is the major difference where previously i had to use plenty revs to get going or keep moving now it feels so muted and docile. Also no more stalling at junctions when the temp was not 100% and for that i am over the moon At the other end of the scale, settled for 1.3bar in the end to help prolong the life of the gearbox and well happy with the way she goes. Previous figures were 350bhp at 1.1bar so feck knows what it is now at 1.3bar and with a good MAP on her. Even at 0.9bar during the mapping process she was faster and stronger than before by a long shot, spool wise is not too shabby with boost hitting target by 3300rpm in Fifth Sorry Playsatan i never opted for any ALS or Traction malarky but i did get an alternative map for 95 ron, so Skye here we come Thanks to Andy for spending time on her today getting her spot on and for the chasing up of the code needed to release. Happy is not even close Future plans include heatshielding for the Induction cone and a feed from the front bumper and some under bonnet thermal management. Longer term will include the letters PPG and really unleash the turbo good and proper
  5. You could easily eat your dinner off the inside of that shell. Given the amont of hours you have spent on her i expect you will have done so at some point Like your wee attention to detailpartslike the linkage
  6. How about informing the ombudsman of thier incompetence and shocking timescale
  7. Erm, was it Mr Magoo they sent out with Stevie Wonder giving a second opinion
  8. Know nowt about the new fankled cars but how the hell are you mate? Was thinking of you, not in that kind of way, the other day when i came across the PZeros i got off you a while back as spares Sure one of the Nw Age owners will be along to advise
  9. Looking good Cal See you at KH at the end of the month
  10. Wow Echo the comments about having 2 great cars 3 thumbs up from me
  11. Hope you somehow catch them and do them over good and proper
  12. I shall place "Austrailian guy that is sh*t hot with them" on my list of recommended places
  13. What well known Scooby tunerz are based in Govan?
  14. Defo fancy attending at least to see what is what
  15. Need to go see the doctor about this nasty chest infection (cough) My Blue car (cough) (cough) Good price (cough)
  16. Hello
  17. (cough) mine (cough) As for the car in the ad, anything from 1st Choice would get a body swerve from me
  18. Well done boss Now go enjoy it
  19. Once i go back to work and get the other Yellow and Red thing back thn this will be used sparingly Right now it is being used for even the most trivial things like going to Kilmarnock for the paper via the Stewarton Rd or Ikea for a rug
  20. Welcome back and nice to see the Goblin again
  21. So far so good for Andy Would be a good result to hold off the big power Skylines
  22. Thanks for your time and patience Dale, some nice equipment you have there and i hope the images turn out as well as you would like Clyde Tunnel twas a hoot, even at half a bar and half throttle. After the 18th i will probably just live in the Tunnel and enjoy the acoustics More i poke about the car more i am loving the small touches the Japs have done
