Just need to get some decent tires sorted for them an they'll be on the car,

So the car was up with Aongus Vtec6000 for mapping, always an eventful day when I bring a car for mapping but yesterday took the piss! Fist off the petrol I got before we started mapping was useless! :farao: smelled like paint stripper! So that had to b drained out of the tank and good petrol had to b got, after we had that sorted he tried to start mapping again an one of the injectors wasn't goin wright, so they had to b changed, after that we got a few runs in before a coolant leak started! :fplam: we sorted that an got bak to it, after all the hardship it was worth it, the car made 215.3 flywheel Hp, and 150.4 torque,:hi: not bad for a standard engine! was very surprised at the figures wasn't expectin what it got, as aongus said, "it may b makin power but she's being a c*nt gettin there!" :lol!: car feels very well out on the road , and it's a lot better on petrol too, used a full tank gettin to Galway and just over a half tank on the way bak! I would recommend Aongus to anyone who is looking to get there car mapped! Took hours longer to map it yesterday than expected but he wouldn't stop til the job was done,

very very nice sir.

personally think the RPF1's look the best BUT not in silver on a silver car, if they were black.. however the new CP-035's look GOOOOOOOD

love the work on this car, very nice indeed :D

New wheels are sprinthart cp-035's, and the mugen's are brought in by the fire for the winter!
