The car arrived with Enginetuner today and Martyn has already installed a base map and had the engine running and all is well.

Martyn has wired in the sensors for the Toucan, so on Monday he will wire in the Toucan display and the LC1 wideband gauge plus of course continue with the mapping.

I really didn't expect Martyn to install the base map today, which I'm really happy and impressed about plus it's a testament to Ryan's work that everything has gone so well.

Thanks Garry, I know I'm in safe hands with Martyn.

I can't fault his customer service.

Thanks Rob, it went down there on a car transporter as by the time I paid for the fuel, trailer rental, bridge tolls and meal stops it was cheaper to pay to get it collected from Leominster and taken down to Plymouth.

Plus a lot less hassle as well.

The same as Ryan get him a KFC bucket or box meal and he'll have a big smile on his face, and he becomes very susceptible to Jedi mind control or me changing my mind again / project slippage.

That's it Tubby, and you see embarassing pics of yourself you never knew existed.

Good for a laugh though.

I have some preliminary results on V Power only but not final as yet, it wouldn't be fair to post them until the final figures are known on V Power only and the V Power / meth mix.

Once I have the final figures then I will post them up along with the RR plots.

More like your mind has blanked out the memories of what Emma did to you with a loofer and a tub of Vaseline.

Bit of an issue with the Alcatek ECU, it's had to be returned for a repair to Alcatek as there's a problem with the CAN stream.

It'll be back on Thursday so everything is still okay for me to collect the car on Friday.

What a pain in the *** that is Ty. If anyone deserves some descent fortune with they're car it's you mate. Hope it's sorted without too much hassle.

Rob, the two things that I've learnt with modifying Impreza's is patience and to expect the unexpected.

But I know what you mean though - if it can go wrong then invariably it will.

I'm now on the train on my way down to pick up my car, Martyn came across a real big problem yesterday afternoon due to the injectors not performing well at low revs making the car undriveable.

Luckily I knew of a set of ID1000's which a mate of Ryan's had for sale, so last night I went to pick them up from Ryan who picked them up for me.

So I had to rearrange and pay for earlier train tickets so I could get down to Plymouth earlier than planned to allow Martyn @ Enginetuner enough time to remap the car got the new injectors.

Hopefully no more hitches today.

And I've learnt my lesson, I ain't be buying reflowed injectors ever again.

I've had to catch 3 trains so far and 2 of them have been delayed, the ends will justify the means no doubt.

Just saw a mega flash of light coming over the top of pen-y-fan, followed by 6 sonic booms in succession, unidentifiable vehicle creating them, all I saw was a wr blue blur and the distorted face of a happy skinny man as it passed me at approx 340mph....could it be Ty?
