I'd be interested in getting mine done but not until it's been mapped, won't be for a while though.

Why not just book your car in with Indigo GT in Tredegar? Nice and local to you.

That's who I was going to suggest Bry, that's where I'll be taking mine to be mapped as soon as my bank account recovers from the kitchen refurb and Xmas is behind us.

They never got back to me when I emailed them, but you've given me the bug now Bry, so I'll try again.

Wife: "What would you like for Christmas?"
Me: "Some nice bits of graph paper with lines on them please".

Cheers Bry

Re the Powerstation post I was thinking of booking it in to fit in with a service at Litchfield (which I've still to do).

However, I'll give Indigo a second go, after the service at Litchco's.

Now that sounds like a value-for-money upgrade !

Still plenty to come from the turbo (capable of 330+ ?) with larger injectors etc.

It is capable of more power but anything over 300bhp on classics can make problems unless you spend big money so I'm happy enough leaving the power where it is on the car now

Salty roads, new coil overs, and a very clean non rusty underside don't mix very well hence the reason why I'm in two minds. If I had more coin at the mo I just may have taken a punt on that V3 STI wagon for sale on here, needs a bit of work but looks half about, not bad to see you through the winter

I did show it to the Mrs Ian but then she informed me that if I bought another car before the kitchen was finished then divorce would be on the cards

I have found myself looking at it quite a bit and was tempted to throw out a cheeky offer but I've found it hard to reign in temptation.

My strategy? - get her one, then get yours.

Done it 3 times now:
  • Audi A4 - I got the Cat
  • Nova 1.2 - I got the WRX
  • Corsa CDTi - I got the T20

One of us will usually start a thread bry, with a run date, time and brief synopsis of the route. I cant organise one this time, as ive taken my car of the road for the winter, and ty probably cant either due to his car being in for work. Im sure somebody else will try and get one goung if theres enough intrest
