Glad to do what I could with what was there, would have done the Front Crank Seal as well but that will be done later as we didn't have a new one to put in

Nothing really wrong with it, not taxed now for winter is all. Had issues with insuring it during the summer, then by the time that was sorted I only taxed for 3 months and summer was over before it started. Didn't get to any runs this year.
Plan is to get a lot of work done over winter now I have a nice big garage to play around in.

Enjoyed the vid

Raging i didn't go now, it was such a lovely day...

Haha, I know but his travelled across France and Spain, been abandoned in Westmeath for a year, nearly set on fire in Wicklow then left their for 6 months and his still hanging on

rhysmate, thanks for the loan of the usb->serial cable + driver.
Installed the driver and funnily enough couldn't get it working with your cable but it now works with mine.
ECU now talking to my netbook, just need to find the time to get some tuning done now.

Nice one! the cable drivers are finicky you have to mess with COM Ports and so on.. are you upping the boost

could be tempted
Will see what the headroom on the injectors is like when I've upped the timing and leaned it out as far as I can.

well i have my heart set on 1 Bar.... so you'll have to

Whats that? 14psi? I've run 13 inadvertently, its nuts.

just over 14 i might be able to map it myself on 7 or 8 psi for daily use and have a special map for 14 for a bit of on the side fun
