Yeah get it booked in mate,can't wait to see this and maybe another passenger ride round combe
Despite having a massively blowing exhaust by the cat, engine oil that was pretty much sludge and the whole thing had been sat for 18 months it felt faster than bluey had done before mapping. Low down it was weaker but thats possibly due to the above as 5 gear pull was non exsistant but once going it felt to have more go.
Just need to sort financial priorities at the moment as there quite a few things that I'd like to be buying for either fixing the mk2 or investing in the remapping. Sadly everything seems to be costing £££
Got two sessions booked so can finally see if this can beat a gti6
Also got Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres on now, not overly impressed so far seem not much beter than kangs tbh as I'm still able to light them up in first or slide on slightly damp corners. Still better than the autogrip that was on there
Sometimes I think that Procta othertimes I think Bluey must have just drawn the short straw and got the odd ecu etc. Engine on her was good (except for oil leaks) its just never felt like she was all there.
Wondering if its worth trying for a mobile place to see if it'd be cheaper but think this might be a case where I would just rather pay the extra and get a decent finish rather than trying to save 50 quid and always notice it there
This has the additional reverse sensors which is quite nice, ruins the look of the bumper for me but is handy for parking. Although i get why people can easily become dependent on them
Also going to try and add some sound deadening to this one as although it's additional weight the "cut backs" on the mk2 really do show sometimes with the tinny sounds it makes. I ripped some of the sound deadning off the back of blueys door cards in case that was removed so it can be rebuilt to a bit of a higher standard. Also going to order some silent coat for the front doors as it's only about £15
