And...... what about the ufos visiting Mildenhall and Lakenheath at the moment? Do you know what they are? Or are they really "OUT THERE"
Again please, in a language common to the rest of us If you are talking about things of a stealth nature, I live under the Mildenhall landing flightpath and increased middle east activity always brings about increased flying activity around these bases, sometimes "interesting" stuff
In theory the F117A Nighthawk is based at Holloman, NM, and flies to the middle east direct with IFR, but who knows what might drop in under cover of darkness

Greetings and welcome to Sunny East Anglia
I am based north of Norwich and have just had my bugeye WRX Ecutek remapped (thanks for the advice guys, goes like stink!) at Clive Atthowe in Norwich, not too far from you.
http://www.enginetuning.net/products...za_upgrade.asp
He was very good and I now have a stealthy WRX and having a Tarox trackday brake package next week......and so it begins.
BTW its the bends that kill our US visitors in worryingly regular accidents. However if you own a scoob I guess you will know about corners.

to answer your questions.... the usdm wrx is 2.5 block with the TD-04 turbo....coupled with a fairly mediocre 5 speed "tranny" (thats why i want the jdm 6 speed) curently im puting down 221hp and 274 tq to the wheels @ 2000 ft altitude and 113 degrees F on the dyno with **** pump "gas" (petrol)....
with 94 octane or better at sea level and your cold temps... im hoping to put down at least 250hp and 300 tq to the wheels!!!! thats why i NEED that 6 speed!!!!

pah! nothing wrong with a 5 speed
id suggest that if you go to a rolling road in this country then those figures youve quoted may come out lower....unless they were recorded ona dyno dynamics set in the states.
Also your "****ty" pump gas isnt actually any different to ours here, you guys use a "MON" rating where are we use a "RON" rating...so your 93/94 is actually our 97/98 here. Just FYI

the highest i can get where i live presently is 91 so 94 would be awesome...."rolling road"...is that a dyno?...i got tuned on a mustang brand dyno(no relation to the ****ty car made by ford) and those read typically low.... unless all your dynos in the country read that way, im expecting a large improvement! just by altitude/temp alone!!

i think youll probably be dissapointed when you visit a dyno here, so dont expect much!! there is a bit of an issue with you guys quoting awhp, as over here it seems to roughly equate to what we quote at the flywheel.
So our awhp is usually about 30-40 lower!!
Im sure youll find out anyway
