Very nice, good to see the car wearing a filter for a change.

 

When is it going to SRR?

 

I actually really like the filter fitted, i doubt ill even change it over at shows. Its booked for the 3rd May Jamie, fancy popping down?

 

Looking superb Rob. I bet you can't wait?

 

Like you wouldnt believe, only a little build compared to most BUT its all new for me and i hope its fast lol

Ryan has cracked on fitting the syvecs today. I think they are going to try and map it on the road tomorrow as best as they can, but it needs to go on a hub dyno? Not sure where i would have to take it now lol?

 

Getting very close to the end now! :)

Light at the end of the tunnel is always nice matey!

Not sure its that one they are on about mate, near silverstone was the one ryan uses?

 

I phoned them back and they might use SRR just to see what happens but im not really sure, ill let them decide!.

 

 

The one by Silverstone is Advanced ME, owned by Dan Turner. That's a hub-dyno too. (Where Jamie, Hodge, Me, etc had our cars mapped). SRR would be fine if you're aiming for 500bhp I think. I seem to remember Jamie running 800 or so on there - so it should be ok?

Yeah thats the one as Ryan mentioned it was Dan's. Im not sure what they are doing, prob best if one of them replyed on here lol. My car has no manual mode and it was something to do with that which is why a hub dyno would be better.

Once you get started you will have it done in less time than that lol. Its addictive. You might see it around if all goes well with mapping and if the suns out lol.
