For those who missed my update on another thread - I had the JD re-map and the Profec B fitted - I am just amazed by the performance. Still waiting to see overall optimim running as regards mpg and top end but if present performance is an indication it will be ballistic. Maybe it's my wishful thinking but the fuel gauge is not going down as quick as it used to despite the odd - loud pedal. Going to Germany Nurburg next month that will tell. I have to lift off most times as the car just wants to go quicker without getting breathless. I have an APexi induction kit, std injectors. New platinum plugs, new O2 sensors and huge brakes. What an awesome package. Did have a brief stress period today - first MOT since owned. Got thru the stages of, 'Not sure if I can pass those corner turning lights, as they may infringe the lighting regs' and ' those number plates are a bit dodgy you know' and the rear fog light in the reverse lamp holder........................ Then everything went RED on the Sun emissions tester! On idle the CO was 2400 instead of .300. Oh dear - it was about to fail after it passed evrything else. Then - brainwave - call JD. As I'm speaking to JD I lift the bonnet, pull off the 4mm vacuum pipe and the CO drops to under .300. The poor old tester scratches his head and says, 'well, I might just as well have pulled the probe out of the exhausts if you're gonna do that!' Result - one new MOT. now to find out why the idle emissions were so high? Back to the plot - what a performer this car is - gotta be the quickest Autobox I've ever driven.

It's 400 tappets clearances?

Solvent or water-based paint balls?

Customs bill via ParcelForce?

I always get 2 sets of plates made and use heavy duty Velcro to fix front and back plates. That way I can swap out my 'show' plates for the normal ones in a jiffy. Having said that my show plates are only about 1 cm of cue with one letter

It's the small 4mm pipe on the drivers side near the balancer bar that goes to a T piece if you have a Boost controller plumbed in. Just pull it off the CO drops to well within the .300 range for MOT. Of course the question is - why does the Zed tickover with 2,400 CO in the first place - must investigate. Putting injector cleaner in first.

At last found a use for those 2 drawers that were too small for a CD and too shallow for drink cups.............................

Just got re-map and Profec B yesterday. All that's needed are heat shield tiles for re-entry to Earths atmosphere!

Profec B fitted on Saturday - bit of tarmac 'tuning' and result? - absolutley stunning difference in acceleration and power. Got the Lo setting to 9psi and the Hi to around 16.5 psi. All the safety stuff set up by my personal Zed tuner. The kick in the pants on kick down is substantial - some folk say that 30-100 is less than 8 seconds, but I wouldn't know for sure. I think the loss of power on a std Auto is now compensated for. Will do some economy v power trials in coming weeks and let you know. It really does pay to do a number of test runs to set this up properly - otherwise you get hesitation, surging and possible detonation.

Jay OK thanks - but managed to get them all from Siliconhoses.com - was in a rush - thanks again Chris ps will PM you

Just got my Profec B as recommended by JD...................

Looks very promising thanks

Jay if you can everything on the list go for it and I'll pay you when got. cheers Chris

I see a slight problem here.......... It will only work if :- 1. you are not white heterosexual male 2. have a work ethic 3. are non criminal 4. in UK lawfully 5. fully paid up stamp and NI 6. do not have 7 kids with 5 different fathers 7. can speak and read English Somebody stop me I'm getting all Meldrew again. Trouble is Victor M was never wrong, just went about it a funny way. Just know this when Gordon Brown says 'He feels the motorists pain' what he means is one of his highly paid lackies did a Google search on 'pain' and 'motorist' - changed a few words and came up with 'I feel' all on his own. Gordo Grabber Brown does not feel economic pain like the rest of us and never will thanks to clever self protective pension and salary agreements. Remember Blair when he came to office said the most important issue for New Labour were the thre 'E's' "Expenses, Expenses, Expenses............." you thought it was Education dint ya? Mugs.

Trouble is this is almost exactly what Brown 'foretold' last December - he said that 2008 would be tough on the economy and that 2009 would be worse. He knew because he is part of the problem. He is also part of G8. They know what is happening and whereas I used to think they called all the shots, I realise now that it's the speculators and OPEC that are artificially creating the high prices. China and India are catching up with the West and it's therefore a sellers market. We must remember there is an age old maxim - it goes like this:- If you want to control nations - control their energy / fuel If you want to control people - control their food. Now for the conspiracy theorists among us, you'll see this happening in Zimbabwe already. Food witheld from the opposition party people. The scariest thing about all this is that our energy / fuel and food is now largely controlled by certain nations and ideologies that are diametricaly opposed to the West and it's way of life. It is ironic that when the UK had a chance to be self sufficient (as any sensible Island peoples should be) we squandered, sold, gave away and forfeited our claim on just about everything we ever owned, controlled, manufactured and valued. Hence we are known as Treasure Island to those who will risk death to get here and drain us of charity and benefits, plus the nations that are not currently waging open war on us can effectively bring us to our knees through the 2 points I stated above. Far more insidious than that dastardly plan of 1939. Think this is over reaction? Wait................

You might just be right - I shall do that. ta.

OK pm you later

thanks Paul. BTW sent you an email regarding some tubing and fittings to connect my Profec B up - did ya get it??

yup considered that - but want to know if the ebay specials will just screw in OK and the bulb holes the same?

I've put my Boost controller where the fuel gauge was - I can't afford petrol so no point in having a gauge...................

Latest - OIL June 2008 - is expected to hit $250 a barrel fairly soon - that will mean £2.30 per litre in the UK. Never thought it could happen did you? Who would have said that the past 2-3 years were 'the good old days'? Not me. But there's a lot of players out there all fixing and manipulating markets. The speculators have done their worst with the financial markets hence the credit crunch - now they are gambling on oil futures hence there's panic and increases even when there's no actual change in the supply or demand. It's fast approaching a time when to travel will be a past time of the seriously rich and the rest of us will have tin cans occupying our driveways and garages. It's a bit depressing but that's about it. There worst part I suppose is this - the crooks in the treasury take 70% of every tanful of petrol as tax. They spend or squander it away of many different things, mainly failed computer systems, propping up excess management structures in organisations and education establishments. Which means this. The British driver is now using 20% less fuel due to crippling costs so the exchequer is getting 20% less tax. Getting the picture? What will the Cash Guzzler Darling do when his ATM (the motorist) is down on funds? Well you work it out. They want us supposedly to drive less, use less oil / fuel etc. But when we do they get less tax to fund scandalous schemes. Outcome? You guessed it. If we do what they want, and spend less at the pumps coz we are being crushed, then they get less income and will hit us again somewhere else. And once we get hit elsewhere, it won't matter if oil reduces because the extra taxes will just stay. Bit like the price of chips at the chip shop - spuds were in short supply one year in the 80's - so up went a bag of chips from 30p to 85p. Spuds got plentiful later but chips stayed high. So it is with this oil / fuel / tax on motoring. Who will get us out of this? Labour? Tories? The choice my friend is Hobsons. It's like being asked if you prefer to be assaulted by Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield - who you going to choose? Enjoy your car while you can - won't be long that's for sure. The £10 gallon is just round the corner and I recall when we protested at 87p per litre - happy days. HOW TO ESCAPE THE RECESSION You can escape the coming financial crash and the economic disaster helped along by 'Prudence' Brown and his bunch of £100 grand a year (without expenses and Gold Plated pensions) cohorts. Here's how:- 1. Don't buy food 2. Don't have a mortgage 3. Don't drive 4. Don't heat your water or your home 5. Don't fly 6. Don't use public transport - esp trains There - saved you a fortune - no charge for this advice.................. Oh yes, nearly forgot, whatever you do do NOT grow old in Britain.
