They need the car for 3 days and i'll only get it back on the Saturday so it might mean I wont make it. Still I'll aim to make the next one...

Can you not let them know the importance of this meet lol Maybe drop in a few bags of doughnuts?

I will lean on them when I drop it off.... lol.

I could end up with it back the same day, they carry out some diagnostic checks to make sure theyre not going to kill it, if it fails I drive home a sad man. That said it passed the first 2 tests as I performed them today, hit the rev limiter in 3rd and 4th without any limp home action, passed with flying colours.

Interesting to see what the final bhp or more importantly the torque figures will be

They say the figures quoted are conservative, it depends on a few things but its but the max bhp on the stock injectors is around 235bhp, there will be some decisions to make about how aggressive I want to go. In terms of torque, i have no idea but I suspect it will pull quite well.

Also get one of these cool badges....

I'll have to get a SCN one to go with it.

I’m still hoping I’ll make it, might be a little later than planned... or earlier depends on how fast it goes! Haha.

Joy of joys.... I have an issue just driving home and the ABS, ESC and tyre lights came on... then they went off again... then they came back on again...

Reading some threads could be a few things so ill be booking it in for a diagnostic so find out what’s going on, could have done without this right now though.

Well plummeting temps (I am in N Yorks too) could be a contributor, wait for sunrise mate

 

[Sharpy]

I’ll just take it to my mate of a mates garage and see what’s what. Hopefully an easy fix.

Abs sensor maybe... Hopefully it's all good.

 

[Leeoncupra]

As jimbo said

I had this issue

Abs sensor or hub

Run a code reader and find out which corner is at fault

Cheers, just had it read and its the right rear sensor thats giving an issue. I've booked it in to get replaced, normally something I would do myself but the reading is free if you get the work done or it costs if you dont and the overall cost is about the same. That said its been fine today, but i'll get it done anyway.

Does anyone have a reader of their own? Tempted to get one but they all seem to plug into a laptop and for that id also need to buy a laptop...

 

[Jimbobcook]

I use this for my car, it works like a VCDS plug in laptop thing but for your mobile phone (Not sure if it supports Apple devices yet as it was Android only) - https://obdeleven.com/en/

Cheers, we are all Apple here, but I'll check it out I imagine its only a matter of time before they bring out an iOS version.

Ah, good to know and they have an iOS app already. I'll look into that a bit more! Thanks.

 

[Sharpy]

Okay so I’ve got a Carista and it’s a great piece of kit.

Also the engine mods have been put on hold for one reason and another, I want to donut properly which means I need a few more pennies. Still planning on getting it done just might be a bit later in the new year.

Looking at some other bits and bobs again like ARB and ALK in the meantime.

Some odds and sods to get done over the next day or so, not sure I’m actually going to get a sub but going to fit the RCA cable while the headunits our saves me having to do it again.

I'd love to get stuff like this done as I loved the sub in my company car (factory) and as mines 8 years old the sound isn't great...

As soon as I plan something I end up just cleaning in the car instead...
