thats all I need to hear.
Sorry mate 
5 stars from me too
Love those 2 previous pics too, very arty!
Thanks guy's My job is moving into more of a colour managment posistion, the equipment I'll be using should help me improve my photo's Had a very intresting conversation with Shaun and Ben @AmD today regarding my map
There's might also be a chance to put to bed the myth that AmD's roller's are inaccurate, Just need to see what happens after Christmas

All this dyno talk cracks me up. I still think the only real accurate dyno's are the ones which bolt directly onto the hubs. AMD's neighbours do it that way
Effects on the pics look sweet mate, liking the signature on them also. Btw don't get too busy in the new year, you got some work to do on mine remember

What work is this El... I'm intrigued
There’s been a lot of talk over the last year about rolling road figures.
Sceptics often say one tuners dyno is better than another or that others inflate the figures to please customers.
Tuners say that pub numbers don’t matter, its how the car drives.
Different crews use different tuners.
My car reflects my own view on the whole modded car scene. It’s not about following the crowd, its about getting the very best out of the car on the road and track. Most of the upgrades have been modified to fit my car and my specification.
When it came to getting a new remap this didn’t change, full custom was the only option and R- Tech were the only people I wanted to use.
Darren’s car follows a different path, high quality off the shelf performance parts are used to achieve the OEM+ finish he loves.
Outright performance is not the primary goal, reliability and factory fitted style are.
AMD have looked after and tuned his car for years and benefit from its presence at meets and shows, the car is a rolling advert after all.
Having fitted the new SFS 3” tip onto the LCR it was time for a stage 2 remap as this is probably the last upgrade the car will see. Anything else will ruin what is the Mona Lisa of the Seat crew.
I was pleasantly surprised when AMD invited me to run my car on their dyno.
This gave us the chance to see how an R- Tech mapped car performed on a different type of dyno to the one it was mapped on.
The car has brand new plugs and coil packs fitted so is running 100%
Low ambient temperature and humidity made perfect conditions for performance testing. My car is an absolute animal to drive and the graph would hopefully reflect this.
None of us were that surprised when my car returned figures that were within 5% of the R- Tech dyno. Shaun was impressed by my new maps performance and said as much.
Kudos to Shaun and AMD for the hospitality, they have nothing to prove so it was a really nice gesture that will hopefully lay to rest some of the negative comments found on the web.

Sounds like a top day. Great result on your car Myles. Look forward to seeing how Darren got on with his car
I took the car along with Mylo off to AmD Essex today for a bit of Christmas fun
The aim was to finally put the stage 2 AmD map on the car, I've had all the suporting hardwear mods for awhile now so thought it was time for a new map.
Before any mapping was done the car had a run on the rollers to check what power it was producing, it made a heathy 290BHP (Not sure what the torque was)
It was then scaned for any fault codes, this all came back clear.
Then it was time for the stage 2 map
The results were a bit mixed we got 295BHP but only 240LB/Ft, it had lost 66LB/FT over my previous best run.
We tried another file but the car would'nt produce any more torque
The last time the map was tweaked was after it came back from Milltek after doing the development work for the new Turbo back exhaust system, At the time Kenny made 2 new map's, 1 with a bit more boost than what I had a stage 1 and another with even more boost, Kenny had kept both these maps so we decided to give the one with the higher boost a go, This map should instant results and made 290.9BHP & 325LB/FT thats more like it They are looking into the stage2 map to see where all the torque went so the full stage 2 might still go on but in the mean time I'm running another "custom" map
On the road the car feel's even more savage than before, when I left AmD the roads were very wet and it was dark so I did'nt give it too much but but the boost certainly comes in a lot stronger, I even had what felt like wheel spin in 6th gear at 60MPH 
Big thanks to everyone at AmD Essex
