That's almost the exact same spec as mine (Ktec stealth and Rsport Grp N ECU).
Mine over several dyno runs has proven itself to be a 'good one' (consistently outperforms others back to back) - and the last dyno run showed 177 bhp.
Yours wasn't a Cup to start with, so I reckon you're probably...
I've a couple of sets of track tyres in 195/50/15 (and 195/55/15 I think)...
Can'tr say I've ever 'noticed' anything different of note about any of them.
For the cost difference you;'ve got there, 195s all day long.
Yep. The absence of the tandoori bints is very welcome.
I go because I want to see cars, not some vaccuous tart who's squeezed into some lycra number that's plainly 3 sizes too small, with the result being enough to turn your stomach at 20 paces.
Focus on the level of complaints amongst this club, they have to listen eventually if the numbers warrant it...and if they want to see evidence of how bad the problem can get I'd gladly send my wheel to them for their review...
Service and airbag light is on from removal of the driver's airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioners.
Nothing wrong with the engine! Nor do I want there to be which is why I was a little more considered in my use of revs and gear changes than I used to be, hence no gear change light.
Certainly feels like it doesn't run out of breath so much at the top of 3rd and 4th.
Running this one against the clock I get a low 15 something :approve:

Girth, that's what it's all about for me.
Air feed after the filter into the bend is 39cm2 in area, but the standard airbox only has a feed in before the filter of 35cm2.
Routing it this way means I've got a full 64cm2 to suck through and feed the filter...so theoretically, the engine...
Will get it on the next Surrey Rolling Road to see if this Espace V6 airbox has made any difference.
So, the afternoon started with Mike ripping this out...
Then after a little jiggling about, this replaced it...
Then after a flurry of activity...
...and a little head...
Only ever Optimax/V-power for mine.
Idles like a bag of nails on 95 RON and refuses to drag itself along in-gear in traffic on tickover.
I'm sure I read somewhere that it takes a good tankful or so for the ECU to work out how best to use a new fuel? If that's the case continually chopping...
Sticky tyres.
Upgraded brakes.
Lose weight.
In that order, that's all you need to do;
Sticky tyres...
Any brand almost will do...I'm about the only one on here that hasn't run a set of Toyo 888s so can't comment on them. Apart from them Yoko A032s are my preferred choice.
Upgraded...
For road use, DS2500s all day long.
Carbon Lorraines are complete and total overkill for road use. They say a firm "f*ck you" to road use by rattling, clanking, and squeeling like you couldn't possible imagine, all the time.
Now I consider myself a Cup hard man, but if it was being used...
