hello tom, great results today, the first time i booted it after the remap was like sex for the first time, great and out this world, not forgetting very fast. mpg look awsome m8. i have a red tip spare.
Thank you Sam
so true mate, it keeps getting better too. Just driven back from a mates house and felt even better than earlier. If your tip was blue I would be interested going for blue in the bay. Thanks anyway though
Nothing special this week just a pic of amd and SCN stickers Car is driving me nuts at the moment, got a feeling the clutch is on the way out and I need to get it up on ramps properly to get rid of this bloody rattling near the cat cover. Nothing is loose but it keeps getting worse and it sounds awful. Some days I love the car and it feels great, the next it feels sluggish again. Oh the joys of owning a turbo'd car. Need to get a creation TIP on there next month and sort the bay out to make me love it again!

Thanks Tyrer. I would love to go stage 2, I get used to performance gains so quick and it's so hard to be happy with what you've got but I can't justify the cash at all. Blue hosing in the bay, get the brembos done in blue and that will be it for me apart from keeping it clean etc. Yours is looking lovey mate, so clean and the pics are awesome on your RR.
Nice red amd sticker... Looks familiar to mine that rear
Indeed it does mate! I had 2 of them, I was going to put one on each rear passenger door on teh bottom but the first one didn't come off properly. So I had to put a single one somewhere and had to choose the opposite side to yours
Got 2 white ones as well but probably won't use those.
Just had a bit of a panic! I was coming home from the shop along a single carriageway and heard a 'woozzzzzphhssshhh' , then I lost power steering and the engine cut out. I thought oh **** what's happened now. Luckily the road i was on was right by my house and I had enough momentum to coast and turn off down my road and end up right outside my house, lol. I knew it would be some sort of hose flying and yep - charge pipe hose again! So I've tightened it up and I'm carrying a flat head screwdriver with me everywhere. Need to get those hoses replaced and get some new clips!

It happend before and sounded loads different this time - I thought the turbo was completely shot or something, and whenever I started the engine it cut out again. I drove it round for a few minutes afterwards and gave it some beans and it's fine again. Lucky indeed! If it had happened a minute or two earlier it could have been very bad!
Mate - get that standard charge pipe upper boost hose replaced asap! OEM is rubbish
Did creation sell them? If not bite the bullet and go Forge, mine haven't come off once under full load many times
I will when I can afford it
They're £80 a pop! Don't think creation do them mate but planning to do the hosing as soon as I can anyway so it will be sorted. Just have to check it regularly and make sure its not coming loose.
Bad news for me! At exactly the same point of the same road my charge pipe hose popped off last week, something else has happened today. I've got no idea what the issue is but the car is off the road until I get it to a garage, it feels really lumpy and makes a lot of noise near the cat cover (where my rattle comes from) and definitely feels ill. I got it off the road and up the drive just now and it felt terrible. Fingers crossed it's nothing too expensive, but I've got a feeling it will be as it really feels and sounds buggered.

Bloody coil pack after all that! It was going through my mind that it could be the pack, but I didn't smell egg and I had no idea it would throw up so many symptoms while driving. Makes perfect sense really but that's mechanical ignorance for you. A relief really but annoying at the same time.
Phew good to hear it wasnt anything too bad. We all get like that, all the worse possible problems will go through our minds when something doesnt seem right
