On Saturday I took a trip back over to Bill to upload my modified map, removing the max boost deviation limit as well as mapping out the EVAP and SAI Incorrect Flow codes to prevent any further annoying EMLs now I've removed them both.

Being a crappy Ibiza ME7 ECU meant it had to be bench flashed, though it didn't take long

Then today I decided to give the car a long overdue clean, inside and out in preparation for Brands Hatch next week :)

The wheels, arches and brakes had become so dirty I decided to jack the car up and take the fronts off so I could give everything a thorough wash, before the snow foam came out to play ;)

After a good foam, rinse, shampoo, final rinse and dash of Megs Last Touch it was sparkling once again :D

Unfortunately I've logged a further 2 EMLs for EVAP since the latest map was uploaded so it looks like it still needs some minor tweaking but other than that it's running really well and can't wait to get it out on track next week. Here's hoping for some dry weather now!

Cheers mate :) Yeah was waiting for someone to comment on the jacks lol, far from ideal but I hadn't planned on jacking it up so had to make do with what I had there with me.

Hopefully I'll get some good videos soon :D

What track are you heading to? :)

Cheers mate :)

Yeah when I asked Bill if the car was missing anything in his opinion he just paused and said "a bigger turbo?" :)

dont do it......yours is by far quick enough for "on the road"

quick spool and a very fast car, more than an adequate weapon against much faster cars:)

Yeah I've no intention of changing it anytime soon, I'm very happy with the car as it stands at the moment and think I'd miss the instant punch if I went BT. Horses for courses I guess.

For now at least I just intend to enjoy it :D
