Have you swapped back to panel filter yet mate? I think you mentioned it a week or two ago. Throttle response is definitely worse with the jetex on so debating a pipercross panel filter at some point too.

No I haven't mate. Leaving it be for now as now I have a job I'm going to be buying bits for the car once more lol. One of which is some cold air feed to run from the fog upto the heatshield directed at the filter. I want to see how it drives after this then decide ideally mate.

But it's not terrible how it is at the moment, it's literally 1st and 2nd gear from low down. Don't notice it after that and the jetex flows alot more air than panel IMO so I'd rather keep it on if I'm honest. Plus I spent £90 on that heatshield and got it looking how I want it after lots of trialing of different bits. Would be a shame to whack the airbox back in. Been told it will hold the car back top end a bit compared to how it is now. And it was pulling like a train on the way back from Brands Hatch on Sunday evening in 6th.. :D
 
Booked in for Thursday Tom :D :D :D You about? Not sure what time to get there but they said first come first serve...

Nice one mate. I sure am so can meet you there or somewhere before nearby if your not sure where it is on the whole retail park.

I would strongly recommend getting there for opening time. I was there allday, but then I had the exhaust, spacers and shortshifter all fitted too. My car didn't want the map at 1st and rejected it :lol: But it was sorted eventually and on. They closed late because of me, lol.
 
Sound, nice one mate :) Gonna be an early start for me as it's an 80 mile drive lol, so I'll try to get there for 8:30. I've got a tomtom so should be ok finding it. Will tap in the address later and see if it finds it. If not I can meet you nearby as you said. Cheers tom!

No worries, weather looks good for the day too. 18 degrees and sunshine. So figures may be slightly down on what it can make in 0-5 degrees. Mine made 283 and 300 on cold days, no where near 10 degrees even.

My sat nav didn't find AmD the 1st time I was looking for it, so I aimed for IKEA Lakeside instead. It's to the right of it on the unit next door. I'd do that if I was you, or even meet at the IKEA car park for half 8 if you want?

Should be a good day for you mate ;)

Meh, I don't care :D it'll feel fast to me and that is enough, still got rover 25 blood in me having only had the LCR for 3 months or so.

Sure mate, sounds good to me. I can PM you a contact number if you want just in case. Hopefully it will be good yes :) Have to give it a good clean Wednesday night. Seem to have lost a jacking point cover :(

It will definitely feel fast after Thursday believe me! It won't be far off a stage 2 car. Can go for a spin in mine if you want after you've taken yours out to compare. Won't be much in it, which might please you a bit as you may think your 'only going stage one' but it's not far off 2!

Yeah ok mate PM me your mobile no.
Jacking point covers are a right pain to click back in! They can end up hanging off while your driving so easily.

Mine just fell off somewhere :( Going to have to source a new one! Now now, don't get my hopes up too much ;) would love to have a tear about in yours definitely. Top man cheers Tom.


Cool Tom, hope it all goes well on Thursday at AMD.

Your going to love it! :D


Thanks Nick :D Can't wait.
 
There's a road close by I'll take you up there just to give you a stage 2 taster mate ;)

Ebay might have a jacking point cover cheaper than dealer's mate? Might be worth a look. Cheers for PM by the way dude.
 
Sounds good, be interested to feel the difference. Will have to just take pictures of the good side only at AMD.

Yeah bring a camera, and a new pair of pants for your drive home once your car is all finished!! :lol:
 
Good choice matey, you wont be disappointed with your map, and remember, it will improve considerably over the first few days while it adapts to your car.

I look forward to hearing how you get on! :)

:lol: I'll try to find a decent camera, otherwise my phone will have to do!

:lol: he's not joking Tom lol!

I'm going with no expectation, so I'm sure I'll be pleased with the result :D

Thanks mate, I'll update with the figures and pics if there's any decent enough to share! Didn't think about the ecu adapting either, good to know.

EDIT: Tom give me a text sometime before thursday so I can let you know if anything comes up that makes me late e.g. the damn M25!


Maybe a silly question, but seen it mentioned before. Will I lose the map if I disconnect my battery for more than 30 mins?

I'll only have my iphone mate. Unless I can borrow the gf's SLR... :whistle:

I will give you a text in the morning when I'm about to leave and check your whereabouts. It's only a 10-25min drive, depending on how I drive ;)
