- hot performance weather
Big FMIC and water injection - stone cold baby! 
Hot weather will affect intake temps which does affect performance though yes.

My car felt really sluggish round the 'ring in April, it was well hot though. Need a big front mount and water injection

Ya less dense hot air and aircon up full wack is a bad mix for performance. Nice cold sunny winter mornings rule!
Even with a FMIC a turbocharged car will still have a noticable performance increase in colder weather.
What's it finished cleaning the house and all other chores.i have a little illegal imgrant inside my engine bay fanning everything down
Busy little immigrant, lol

Is the big race intercooler noticably better than the standard FMIC that Forge offer? Better in terms of colling and performance I mean.
the cars got a fmic but the weapon before never got it mapped with it on. Silly silly. I a bit worried because as i've said we're going the ring today. My mates got a rapid r32, cammed, exhaust and a very aggressive map and i think he's goin to have me... r32 just pulls, i'll be gutted if he does. Other cars going are an e46 m3, 335i dms, cayman s, skoda octavia and an 111r. Goin to struggle me thinks!
What horsepower are all your cars pulling at the mo' out of interest?
stock figures below:-
LCR: 225 (163 bhp/tonne)
R32: 250 (172 bhp/tonne)
E46 M3: 345 (222 bhp/tonne)
335i: 300 (174 bhp/tonne)
Cayman S: 295 (220 bhp/tonne)
vRS: 200 (143 bhp/tonne)
111R: 190 (220 bhp/tonne)
***********************************
now updated with remapped figures (yes, i'm bored! )
LCR: 290 (210 bhp/tonne)
R32: 290 (200 bhp/tonne)
E46 M3: 345 (222 bhp/tonne)
335i: 380 (220 bhp/tonne)
Cayman S: 295 (220 bhp/tonne)
vRS: 250 (179 bhp/tonne)
111R: 190 (220 bhp/tonne)
Looking at that, I don't think the M3 driver was trying hard enough, with instant throttle response and power all the way to 8500rpm he mustn't be using the gears properly.
Amazing really how close all you guys are... Ignoring the vRS there's only a real-world 20hp between the lot of you!
