    exhaust is now fitted £90 for the cat back it would have looked abit silly with just the pipe so a tip was put on it. also had the 3" de-cat box put on at the same time sounds loverly janspeed manifold is sat upstairs waiting for the Aircon to be removed..

    but the arches still catch so im raising the fronts 10mm to stop that. also noticed that water is coming in from where the seatbelt bolts were wo need to put the bolts back in, and the rear bearing needs doing ASAP! so its another trip to a garage to ge that sorted!

    Richmicratwist came round today as we both baught janspeeds the other week, but we couldnt fit them till we de-aircond the cars.. so weve spent a god 9 hours doing both today so now got a brand new janspeed on mine and richards.. but its pulled my exhuast into contact with a heat shield so i need it adjusting and its very very very very very loud lol have to shout to my passengers righ now says hes deaf in one ear! so i need to get a decible insert for day to day driving.. aswell as get the rear adjusted to stop it hitting..

    still needs its wheel bearing doing aswell!!

    not bad it pulls to 115 if i could slipstream someone it would easy go 120 and hit the limit. the K&N is letting it down need a sealed airbox.. some cams when chie decides to send them.. and the re-map and il be happy with its N/A form.

    Max power at that rpm is pretty spot on for a standard 1.3 block with bolt ons.

    Nice printout that, interesting to see that they move the torque graph above the power one, makes for slightly easier (if initially misleading) viewing

    right iv just had quote from 2 people for 2 different ECU's to be fitted and mapped
    the autronic:-
    Cost for SM4 £1295+vat, Fitting and mapping would be around £850 to
    £1000 +vat depending on how long it takes to fit.
    so thats £2295+VAT!!!!!!
    the HKS Fcon-pro V :- £2200+VAT!!!!
    im sorry but i feel these guys are taking the #### abit i think its cos iv said micra nd they dont realy want to work on one!!!

    im now stuck in a rut as i carnt go any furthur without sorting an ECU out i want one that will alow me t use an SR20 maf and TB for the turbo engine.

    surely an emanage ultimate would be capable? and at £400 odd quid you are gonna be on a winner compared to those prices. i hate the way we get different treatment just because of the car we choose to mod. bhah, their loss!

    speak to ed mate im sure he would be your best mate if you offered him £1500 to supply fit and map an emanage ultimate.

    just a thought i was quoted £1600 inc VAT and fitting for a Gem standalone ecu. very handy piece of kit.

    i have a couple more avenues to try but i will still proably talk to ed about an ultimate as i want to know what there capabilities are.. mapping isnt an issue i know an ace mapper near me and i can get dyno time dirt cheap.. i want a decent ECU thats all.
