Thanks choppy, means a lot coming from someone who does some great builds of his own.This is the best build on RMS, the best build I have seen in a long time for a matter of fact Ian.
Fantastic work, hats off to you.
Yeah, this is a different level to the Civic, Civic had a much lower budget and was a good learning step towards this.I thought your Civic was great but this build is on another level.
Credit to you.
You would have, me heading to the Dublin for the ferry in the morning. I think it does stand out more when you see it in person that you get from the photos.Think I seen this southbound on the A1 at Newry today. Lovely presence on the road.
Greg was very great, he really knows his stuff and his map is lovely and smooth. He's really busy, tunes two cars just about every week, sometime 3, basically spends all his time mapping. Only bad thing I could say is he is too busy, so if things take longer than planned its hard to fit it all in, he did stay tuning until almost 3 in the morning the first day though and managed to fit me in on Thursday to finish things off on the road so he'd never leave stuck. The mans a very hard worker and his mapping skill and knowledge have to be some of the best in the UK.So
How was Greg ? Happy with the choice, I know we chatted about it a lot
Any heat issues too ?
Didn't know you were in or I'd have asked. Was after octane booster to make up for not being able to get V power here and BP ultimate being ****, running on V power Greg was able to add a bit more timing and you could notice the difference. I asked if you could order in some Miller one shot boost, can you get Silkolene Pro Boost?Gutted to have just missed when you were in the shop earlier @EF Ian , I heard it as you started it up to leave.
The guys were all busting to get a look at it, but we were too busy at the counter for anyone to get away.
Sounds incredible, such a great noise.
Thanks , you should hear when you give her a rip on high boost.Sounds incredible, such a great noise.
Yeah, although its got a few issues to sortGreat job, must be fantastic to have it running properly in time for the summer.

What Millers oils do you have in stock? Out of oil and need it asap (like tomorrow) as I've got a small leak (will be fixed asap) and may need to top up if I do much driving. I need either CFS 10-50 or CFS 5-40, could also give the nanodrive a go.
Lots of power and torque and not much weight, compare it to some of the modern sports cars that do 0-60 in under 4 seconds and the power to weight will be higher. I make my power to weight around 400hp per ton, for example a Lamborghini Murchialago LP640 is only 385.That's incredibly quick. No wonder the head unit is escaping!
Will do, once I fix my the poly bushing on my engine mount, its out of action until then.awesome, some in car videos thanks
Not a bad thing I guess, shows it accelerates well.Its been many years since I've been hit in the balls with a radio done some laughing at that Ian lol
Yeah, I had expected some issues, you still hope you get none though but as anyone with a car project will know it never works that way. Hope I can them sorted asap so I can drive and enjoy the car before heading back to work. Plus I wanted to get some decent photos taken by Reno_LV. Got some bushes ordered today and made an enquiry about some more solid ones.These teething issues are nothing, especially when the enormity of the build is taken into consideration. Really looking forward to a look around this hopefully at some point.
They sure can, tyres do need to be warm though. Not having the rear suspension setup too hard really helps it dig in.Shows when setup they can grip real well too.
