I thought it was my minimal NCB which was the issue for me. Only have 3 years now. But you have even less. I'm 26 though and do live in Croydon which probably adds things up a bit too. Renewed with Keith Michaels. All mods declared and optional track day cover including 'Ring cover. No...

You'll be looking cooler though in the RB :tonguewink: I've got to push a new proper rad to the top of my priority list now though. There was a slight leak on the dyno :fearscream: Luckily it happened there and not on track. More info on that to follow.

Mapping Update I spoke to Andy at @Engine Dynamics last night. He said the mapping is almost complete and that the car has gained in most place, including around 5 BHP at top end. There's a little bit of tidying up to do still, but he said we are still good for collection at the weekend...

What side is rubbing? The offside front? (you say when turning left)

Curtis is impossible to get a reply from! Real shame the AST after care is so poor in my opinion.

Awesome. Thanks for that mate

It's been a long and slow progress build believe it or not. Started over 3 years ago and it's still not done now :laughing: Some of the modifications took me quite a while to save up for. ITBs and Coilovers especially. I also got a decent pay out from the third party insurance for the...

Nothing yet buddy, but I plan on doing a lot of days there this summer :) Give me a shout if you book anything and I'll do the same.

Just read all this. Very nice car. Do love a bean!! Who was the original mapper that ClioTurbo used to use then?

I've not had an update for a few days. But I spoke to Andy @Engine Dynamics on Monday about map files. I sent him over another base map file, this time for my actual car, and he said he was going to make a start on it yesterday (Thursday). I'll give him a shout on Monday to see how things are...

Sounds right to me. I hit 188bhp on SRR with 438s and supporting mods. @Ant_Smiggy also hit 188 at RS-Tuning with the same mods.

It will be fine. Lots of guys add spacers on when using standard wheels anyway to get extra width. Having those wheels would just be the same as someone having standard wheels and adding a 2-12mm spacer (for et35 and et45 wheels respectively) For example my old wheels were et43. I now run...

Thanks for sharing your wash procedure mate, I'm learning about all this detailing malarky so it's handy to see it in steps. Car looks fantastic. Makes me jealous mine doesn't look like that!

That's 0.5mm? Interesting, never would have thought that would be noticeable, cheers. Let me know if you come across a 15 minute shim :up:

:smile: How long will it be left standard lol? Do you have plans to stick some ITBs back on or are you going down the boosted route?

Confirms what I was thinking cheers. I'd want a 15 minute shim ideally to keep the rear end 'safer'. Although I'm not sure the difference would even be noticeable? I'd want a 30 minute shim for the camber on the left side then too right? To make it -1 degree and 46 minutes.

Right, whilst I don't have the car to play around with I thought I should start to order a few small things. I need to sort out some shims to bring my rear toe and camber more in line. This is what I'm working with at the moment... I'll also be going to 10 minutes toe out on the front axle...

I met a guy with one of these ECUS on his Focus ST. Meant to be an awesome bit of kit. Not cheap though!

f**king awesome!! I'm not a fan of the Michelin stickers personally. The car just looks awesome!! Even though I follow the Clio Cup championship I know very little about these cars. What weight they are? What power they realistically put out? Would be awesome to see this at Bedford if you...

Good stuff. Just out of interest how much did or do you charge for a full strip back like that. Something I'd love to have done if I progress with the car this year.

Can't wait to see this!

Looks glazed. Does it feel raised when you touch it?

Yours is very similar to mine Jon. My camber on the OSR is more than the NSR, same with the toe. I need to find a 1.5mm shim for mine to correct the toe and a 3mm shim to correct the camber.

Excellent work Russ. So that blue 182 isn't yours? Just a car you've got in for some work?

Did you not say what wheels they were or did I miss it?

Not yet. The ECU has been locked with a pin. Andy at ED has confirmed this. It can only have been locked by the previous mapper. I've spoken to Woodford though and he says he 'never locks ECUs' Woodford said he'll send me a base map though so that Andy can wipe the ECU and have a starting...

Cheers man. Things are looking hopeful. I've got my fingers crossed.

That thing certainly shifts! And you can pedal very well. It sounds awesome too!! Great work.

Right, just heard back from Engine Dynamics and could need a bit of help guys. Basically Andy has gone to start on the map today, only to find out that there is a pin lock on the OMEX!!! I wasn't aware of this at all and have no idea why it would be on there. I've sent a post over to Mike...

Can't even imagine how fast this must be. Would love to jump in for a passenger lap if there's time!!
