Santa Pod trackday insurance
Yep. It is high in relation to my annual premium but reasonable considering I'm there to go as fast as I can* Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Santa Pod trackday insurance
Hoping to get down to SP this weekend for Run What Ya Brung (terrible name!!) But having a very tough time finding anyone that covers timed events. Have tried: Keith Michael's (my current insurer) Flux Moris HIC Even the number listed on SP's own website don't do it. There must be people on here that have got cover before - can anyone suggest where to find it? Thanks in advance! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Boost Leak test
Noel - the spec sheet I sent you before the mapping has them down as Z1 GT535s. I had a John Dixon 530bb chip installed though. As I mentioned on pm, the settings on the ebc are different to what you confirmed had been set on the dyno so perhaps it has changed due to being powered down etc. I'll try setting up for programs again as per dyno and go from there. Feeling much more optimistic about it all now though. Cheers for he help! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Boost Leak test
They're GT535Rs. Correction to the 21psi...not sure where I imagined that number from. Dyno shows 19psi. As said above I'm thinking that I may just be looking for issues where there aren't any. The car is driving and boosting smoothly (and holding it) so think I'll leave it be for now. Appreciate your offer for assistance though, thanks very much! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Boost Leak test
It doesn't have a hi/lo setting as far as I'm aware. Not sure if I'm just being a plonker - note sure where I got the 21psi figure from. Dyno shows 19psi was peak when mapped. It has been tinkered with subsequently to fix some over fuelling so perhaps it was brought down. It still pulls great with steady boost. Just went out and managed 16.6psi (read off the EBC peak) which isn't terrible. Starting to think I may just be looking for faults where there aren't any.....

Boost Leak test
Having got my boost controller up and running I now seem to be only able to hit 14/15psi Max whereas I was previously up to 22psi. I've checked the ecu for error codes and got a 55 all clear. I checked the hoses visually but what I really need is to do is check for leaks. Is there anyone in or close to Croydon that might be able to help out? I'm heading to Santa Pod on the weekend with some mates and it sucks I'll be down on power. Thanks in advance! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Where does your screen name come from?
Some things are meant to be I guess! :thumbup1:

Similarly....I was going for sumguy at hotmail but it was already taken. I was into blading back then and had a 'Shifty' branded wallet on the table next to me. So was born sumshiftyguy!

Blue LWB M25 and A3 - Sat 30 Jan
No, definitely would have recognised him! This one was a darker metallic blue, similar to AndrewG's. Plate ended 672 though...I won't detail the whole reg here.

Blue LWB M25 and A3 - Sat 30 Jan
You had the 4pot tail light conversion and we 'convoyed' unintentionally (I wasn't following you, promise!) from the M23/M25 J7 to the A3.

Blitz EBC
My Blitz DSBC seems to have stopped working. Doesn't look like a wiring / power issue as it's not really moved. I suspect the unit might have failed (if that even happens) but want to get a replacement unit as an 'easy' test to check. Only need the EBC itself as have the dual solenoid boost valve already so needs to be a compatible Blitz controller. Would love to find a Blitz DSBC if possible.
