ok had a very intersting night
went out to fill up my car with 65pound of the finest v-power and come accross a elise 240bhp the new one had a dabble along mway and even though i had brad! and full tank he pulled only4 lenghts until high speeds...... i was spinning in 3rd which lost me a length or2 but i was inpressed that he could not drop me so i feel my car must be pushing some serious power as them elises are a light car......
i told himit was a diesel at the lights and he laughed as to say shgut up its a lcr so i dont think he believed me lol
but yeah good findings and brad one will secos this too as there bound to be some1 on here that thinks i am lying lol
ok went to amd today to get my map tweaked a bit because at2k in 6th it kept going into limp mode so i asked them to turn the boost up just a tad at 2k to stop it running so rich, i took it for a spin and now there is no smoke and no poke, it still beats a mini cooper s but its only running 1.6 bar and the power dies at 4k so now i have to go back monday for a new remap!!!not to inpressed but look what i picked up today they was brets (dolby)
cant wait to get them fitted will have the runners prdered on thursday woop woop
ok on the way home from dk house tonight, i found the new focus rs to have a play with, now something very interesting happened we went side by side and had it and it was dead even, now myself and brad1 was thinking hhhmmmm he playing with us, but i think my efforts annoyed him so he tried again still could not pull away even up to higher speeds, so we went off the same junction, he floored it in front of me, and me lacking a LSD spun up in second and he pulled a length but that was all no difference at all.....i think the car is performing well and the cold/wet air on my fmic is helping out a great deal......
seats still sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted i have my sliders now and i am hoping dk will help me fot them in the coming weeks when he has time
Problem with those RS are they are very heavy so although he had the power advantage you had less weight although having brad in the seat next to you will slow down any car hahaha!

they are very heavy i think he was as surprised as me, i must admit though being 300bhp or not sean at amd said there pretty much the same as a remapped lcr running 280bhp so i happy with the car at the mement
