Coming Home!

[Potatoes]

Accepted an offer for a job in Goldthorpe this evening which means, after 3 long years away I'm coming back to live in Yorkshire!!!

I lived in Stanley, Wakefield for 6 years and I'll be moving back there in March. Looking forward to meeting some of you :smile:

Much love,

Will be good to see you at some meets/CSF if you're going Mr Potato head. Yorkshire group is definitely growing of late!

Get back in your own section, only Yorkshire folk aloud in here :tongueout:

 

[Clio_fool]

I live in Goldthorpe. Make sure you've got locking wheel nuts fitted [emoji38].
We'll have to put you on the Yorkshire tag list, there's some decent car stuff within easy reach, including CSF and FCS.

Yet another BG 182 to add to the fold, sigh.

Welcome back :smile:

That's cos BG is the bestest. We all know it, and so do you.

 

[Potatoes]

That's right!

 

[Clio_fool]

Where you going to be working at spud?

 

[Potatoes]

At Cape Plc, just outside Goldthorpe, I'll be based there but working across their sites in Yorkshire, Aberdeen and London.

 

[Clio_fool]

Never heard of it, what do they do?

 

[Potatoes]

Industrial services, providing contractors & expertise to on and off-shore energy/oil sites... I'd never heard of them up until 2 months ago either yet I'd driven past they Barnsley and London offices loads of times!

job in Goldthorpe

I believed you right up until that point

 

[Clio_fool]

Lol, I'll have you know there's a VERY busy welfare office in Goldthorpe and several successful chemical sales people.

I use that joke quite a lot now, thanks for making me look funny @andybond :smile:

Moved back this week, what a f**king nightmare moving is with a 3yr old and a 6 week old! It's worth it though, awesome to be back in our house after 2 years away... it's like we've never left!

Will meet some if you at meets, trackdays or on the roads around Yorkshire :smile:

Don't know anything about it! I did a search for it but got distracted. I'll have a proper look when I'm not drunk tomorrow and will try to get to it

Seems like you've already said yes to coming according to the poll at the top!

 

[Clio_fool]

Lol I guess @Potatoes was pissed then!

 

[Potatoes]

LOL! I had forgotten about that... thanks for the reminder

 

[Potatoes]

I'll be there, just re-confirmed with the misses... she looked confused having known about this for the last 4 weeks.

I'll try pop down to the dynoday but I wont be running my car as i can't justify the cost unfortunately although it would be really interesting to know what im running as i feel it's down on power.

But you just had the belts done by a pro, or shouldn't be down on power. [emoji45]

I was just talking to Dan about this. It's definitely nothing to do with my timing or anything I know that! It just feels like it has a few flat spots. Only noticeable really now the decats back on but that may be just me. It just seems to struggle sometimes at say 5-10mph and if i'm in 2nd, it doesn't feel like it 'pulls' properly and it vibrates like it's totally the wrong gear.
Might me a map sensor or something on it's way? I'm really not sure. I have nothing to compare it to, so it could be just how they are haha. It could need to adjust to the decat again really!

 

[leeds2592]

I find mine a bit like that, I know they aren't great at low revs but just seems to take a bit to get going, it's fine when further up the revs though. The joys of owning a 12 year old French tin can.

 

[Clio_fool]

Mines fine, maybe you need a remap?

 

[leeds2592]

Is yours mapped? I was going to just get the 98 ron map on I've put my decat on.

 

[Clio_fool]

I have no idea, but it runs as smooth as a greased c**k in a prostitute.

 

[Louis]

Yeah think I'll get mine remapped just with the rstuner.

 

[Clio_fool]

Oof no don't do that, goto efi.

 

[Louis]

How much is efi

 

[Clio_fool]

I think it's around £160. @Sj1782

Basic map is around £150 worth every penny! I paid £250 as I had cams fitted, Chris is a top bloke aswell

That's actually not too bad. Seen the prices at RS Tuning on that post in the 'Group Buy' section? £245+VAT on a 1*2 before the discount :anguished:

 

[Sj1782]

Rs are good just rather pricey! Like before I got quoted £1200 for my belts changing cams fitting and a remap i did it all for £800

[Louis]

I'll probably take it to efi then, i presume there's dyno runs included in that?
Car seems to be pulling perfectly fine now actually. Must've just been me. Nice to get that rev limit raised though and smoother across the entire rev range especially with my decat.

 

[Sj1782]

Yeah it's on the dyno, mine was on for 4hours until he was happy with everything, I went before hand to get a printout of before and after power, 3 runs for £30 he charged
