    Like the plans, but as you say if you have an off on track it'll be a bitch to repair!
  2. Perfect timing, thanks Ian My Nilfisk that I've had for about 5 years is starting to lose pressure

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    Couple of small purchases keeping me sane until the car comes back Cusco alternator and pulley covers. Will be going the same colour as the interior and the Rays And an Arc Titan gear knob. Much more weight then the OEM knob and a bit smaller too

    So have you actually been able to do anything with the app?

    You'll have to make a new thread with a huge comparison of everything once you've run them all Mark

    Two loons go for a joy ride in my car.

    What was the purpose of letting them drive your car Ian?

    Got a look at the complete engine today before it gets put back into the car New IAT sensor drilled into the manifold of the supercharger And the new Xtreme lightweight HD clutch The new charger is absolutely massive! I can't wait to hear it whining away once I finally get her back

    Japanese reliability?

    I can appreciate your frustration, but calling the 86 a piece of sh*t isn't really the way to deal with it... You've been unlucky, every mass produced car will have a few that slip through the net and overall out of the thousands that have been sold in the UK, the majority of people haven't had any real issues I'm sure the garage will get it sorted. If not, get it to Richard at RRG as a last resort as his reputation on here couldn't be higher. A number of forum members have travelled great distances and been overwhelmed with the help from RRG
  13. So as part of my racing seat research, I need someone to do me a huge favour and measure the standard seats for me please I can't do mine as it's at Abbey and won't get a chance to go there until the weekend Below are the dimensions of the seats I'm looking to get, the one's I'm interested in are the RED numbers Could someone please measure the standard seats for me and then check that the numbers in red would fit in the cabin please? My main concern is the upper shoulder/head support as these will be quite a bit wider than the standard seats Thanks in advance

    OK, quick update from Mark, we won't be ready for JAE I always knew it was going to be asking a lot but we just won't get the time to log all the data from the maps and run-in period before the weekend

    Smudge's supercharged V8 build

    Visit to Abbey at the weekend was very good, great to see the work the guys do when it comes to an engine rebuild. Mark showed me all the components of my block, with half of it sitting on the stand all built and ready to go, with the heads also built up sitting on the side next to the supercharger with the new IAT sensor drilled into the manifold. Everything is pretty much ready to put back together now, just confirming with Mark exactly when he will be able to get it done and more importantly find time to place all the base maps onto the car. I'll hopefully have it for JAE but not promising anything as there's still a lot of work to do and Abbey are incredibly busy as usual If I do have it for JAE, it'll give me a good chance to find some back roads on the way up to the show in order to run the engine in properly. The base map will limit my revs but it's just a case of going up and down that rev range as often as I can over a few hundred miles rather than sitting on the motorway. In all the excitement I forgot to get any pictures...IDIOT! So I've asked Mark if he can take a few quick snaps for me before it all goes back into the car Updates to come soon (I hope!)

    Think Mark needs to join the queue for a ride in mine once it's done

    Feel free to send one my way Mike, I'll do some reviews on it for you
  22. Yes I know what they are... The reason for my question was you make very little sense...and then post up a random picture of an AE86? What do you want from the car by looking at these 2 completely different mods?
