Are you sure thats the right graph Barn, the stock power is higher than the tuned and you have only made 13bhp which i think is low for a stage one especialy as you are basicly at stage two spec with just the FM to put on.

I think the labelling on the data is wrong, the bhp marked as stock is down as 232bhp :confused:

Although dunno why you have a lower loss bhp with the remap?

Stock: 193.3bhp, loss of 42.4bhp = 22% losses

Remap: 232.1bhp, loss of 36.7bhp = 15% losses??

Well I've had a long weekend and covered over 500 miles.

Went up to Yorkshire to see my dad and had problems on the way home. Motoring down the M18 with the rain lashing down and my wiper snaps off and flies off over the car. Managed to get dad to come rescue me and the proceeded to drive around at 7pm looking for somewhere to buy a wiper.

And the emergency wiper lol.

Well that was Saturday, Sunday I went to my mums to witness my dad get his acceptance by the bishop to the local church.

In amongst the Welsh mountains I got far to carried away, hammered the car a bit to hard, used ALOT of petrol and warped the discs :(

Bad times but an amazing weekend of driving.

I don't really know much about the graphs or understand it. I'll pop it over with me this week and you can have a look and explain all to me. I think it's the right one, that's definitely my stock power (albeit labelled wrong lol)

looks well

Cheers bud :)

Ive also picked up a new steering rack, a LCR rack. Gonna get all the bits together now to get the handling sorted.
The aim is LCR wishbones, LCR steering rack, Polybush the whole car, ARB's, better strut braces and finally coilovers. Im going to try and get it all together and fit it all together.

New steering rack.

Aye that should be straight! :blink:

Are you going to get the LCR hubs and balljoints as well? I'm assuming that's the aim ;)
