Pleased you are happy Steve!

As mentioned, 360lbs/ft torque is easily possible, but in my opinion for the sake of an extra 13lbs/ft its not worth spoiling the very flat torque curve which held throughout the revs.

She's a mover :funk:

Im very happy now its mapped up. Drives like a totally different car. The delivery is great!

Do you have a graph we could see??

Here is the graph, its not the best of pics :

I will try pop down if i can. What time is it ?

I am really happy with how the car drives now. In any gear just plant your foot and wants to keep going.

I upset a mitsi evo last night - he told me i was burning oil - i replied its diesal mate - thought he was going to cry
He stormed off in a mood then haha.

Got to try my hardest to behave though

starts at 5pm mate, lol at the evo what type of evo was it:cartman:

right that sounds decent, affordable for me. What clutch would be best to get ?

I went for the Sach organic clutch which is rated at iirc 400lbft of torque which is more than enough for hybrid turbo power. I know other people go for i think its Helix clutches which i think is rated around the same amount of torque.

Another update i really am on fire !

With being poking around in the engine bay alot recently i noticed how scratched and boring the big plastic engine cover looked so i decided to carbon wrap it.

Looks familiar! Mine peeled off after a bit, put it down to poor wrap and the heat inside the engine bay..

Looks cool, neat little mod

You´ve got mail, mate!

What I forgot to mention:

Your camshaft is setup a little late, sync. angle is positive valued, better would be to have about 1-2degrees minus in idle when engine is warm.

Last night i was out in my car and heard some noise from the nsf brakes. I knew my pads were getting low but when i checked them this morning i was slightly shocked :

I wasn't too amused with it being a bank holiday i didn't know if i would get hold of any pads today. I went to my local car parts shop - home and motorsave. Ordered some ferodo pads at 10:30 and had a call at 11:15 to say my pads had arrived.

Old vs new

Wuhuuu, that reminds me of something:




Mine looked like that when I switched from 288 to 312mm brakes.

Funnywhise they didnt make any abnormal noises before getting them out....

Haha looks like you definatly got your monies worth out the 1 pad !

Just started in the bedding in process - my car stops sooo much better already. No excess travel in the pedal.
