Boost solenoids do generally make a fairly loud ticking noise, although not usually with ignition only, unless it's an aftermarket solenoid or ecu.

Lol at where this thread had gone!!

Well done. Trophies look to have improved a bit too. Was it a bit better organised this year? Just as well there were no quick Evos there this time eh?!

Perhaps not too wise to say something like that when you don't know the facts. Did I not just say they wanted to do something for the spectators?!

Sorry, we did feel more than a bit awkward about that...... I explained to them that we had just brought the cars all the way up from Time Attack Oulton Park. I think they wanted us to put on a bit of a show

Fantastic result Scott, you deserve it. Awesome driving from Fee too. Best watch the two of you don't go so fast for the rest of the season, or you'll be pushed in with me! I think Marcus saved you from the 5% rule this time

That is out of order. You'd be hard pushed to find a nicer guy than Alex Bruce.

Sounds fine, just give me a buzz/pop in and we'll organise a timescale that suits you all. I'm normally there from Tuesdays to Fridays (0830 to 2230), and some weekends when we have dyno days. Off-topic, sorry, and there will be a post about it soonish, but just so you know, we are now under new ownership, Gav will be here only until December before he leaves for good to take up a permanent job flying for BA out of Edinburgh New company (and directors )have plans.....

Good luck with your remaps guys Just wanted to suggest that I could offer you a good deal on before and after power runs, if anyone fancies it. Also, I'm sure it won't be necessary, but if Andy needs some FOC dyno time on either of these days please let me know. Happy to help out in the interest of good relations

Most of the quotes I used are referring to the Dastek Unichip, which of course is programmable. How many "piggyback" chips/ecu's are not programmable? There are a few types where you can "piggyback" an eprom on top of another one actually on the board inside the ecu, but it seemed pretty clear these were not the type under discussion here. If it's just me thats got that bit wrong, then apologies.

Come on guys, all of this is totally incorrect. Please read up on programmable piggyback ecu's before you announce this kind of stuff to the general public.

You have a point there![] Only reason I suggested it was because I noticed that some of the guys are from Aberdeen area.[]

Sorry Andy [:$] Should only be in your benenfit though eh?! [][] We needn't worry anyway, looks like no takers [*-)]

Sorry to butt in on your thread guys, just wondered if I might offer something that might interest you? On the back of this group buy, would you like a group buy on power runs afterwards? I guess we could even do "before" and "after" if you like. If anyone wants to talk to me about this, please give me a call on 01224 708444 and we can try to work something out

Not my place to comment, but what the hell; You shouldn't have been derogatory and talked down to Phil. I am not questioning whether this was necessary, or you have a point, but you should've posted a purely factual statement.

Guess you're not in the mood for a little wind up? Never mind I have been working till an average time of about 1am this week, with a 3.30am finish this morning, 2 hour drive home, then 1 1/2 hours sleep before I had to leave for knockhill. So, sorry, don't have many free opportunities to run your car at the mo..... Had a thought that you might like to run it at the MLR dyno day next sunday...........! They have 30 cars booked so if you happened to appear towards the end........

Craig, Jool's car is quick, but I don't think quite as quick as yours......... Dare you to ask me how I know

Aye, but check the reek out of your car Dave!

Great time, well done, but not even Andy Forrest or Keith Cowie can manage a 60ft time that low. Sorry, but imho Crail timing gear has messed up there

No probs, can give you more useful info now too. Just give me some warning please, v busy these days []

Gogsie, we have had full working software for over 2 years now, it's just the logging stuff (AFR,boost) that we have been waiting on. We have it now though, ask Carl (we had a cav turbo dyno day on sunday and they all got boost and afr plots to go with their bhp/torque figures). Full logging of just about any parameter you like All Dastek dynos come with the same fan setup. Awesome, isn't it? Best in the UK

Sorry, I thought I had 3rd too [] [] Taken from MLR thread; Top 5 FTD - 0-64ft...a lot of similar times here as well 1. The Tyrant-----1.78 - (1.817 average) 2. Filsevo----------1.78 - (1.957 average) - close stuff! 3. Willox-----------1.84 - (1.862 average) 4. Russ-------------1.84 - (1.917 average) 5. McFaraneSTi-----1.84 - (1.925 average)

More than happy to do that Craig.

Hmmm, if it was the same one, I'll give him a bollocking tomorrow! Fair play to you two SIDC guys who entered. It was all very good natured, and I'm sure everyone, without exception, enjoyed it. It would probably need a very well sorted, light, short geared scoob, with a particularly good driver to be anywhere near some of the times today. I certainly couldn't get near them, but I did manage to save face beat all the scoobs this time! Not sure Craig Mac would've fared much better either, although I'm sure he would've had a damn good try. It was so tight and twisty (all 1st and 2nd gear) that power cars were not particularly well suited.

Wuz, you really have it in for me/WP don't you? I meant engine/power mods. It also has coilovers. The tyres I got for free, so it gives you an idea of how grippy they are not. Oh, my mistake, I just checked and the reg document says June 98, terribly sorry. The block and head ARE totally standard, no cams, headwork, or anything, so only power mods are to exhaust and intake. Still on original turbo, and the whole lot has done 104k miles. No idea why I'm bothering rising to this. Was on the point of offering you a white flag too. If you don't know how useful having access to a local dyno is then never mind. While we are on the subject, Craigs car didn't "pass" me at Knockhill, I let him pass. That is part of track etiquette. He readily admitted there was nothing in it on the straights, so he couldn't have passed without getting in trouble. Also dyno figures were 395bhp 380ft/lbs and that is what I told craig.
