  1. Big Phil did a guide on this, I'll see if I can find it. You just need to re-grease the rear droplinks
  2. Going from nurrish's non-mapped dynos: (rounded up and down) Westons 260bhp RS 285bhp so in theory mine would be: (dynoed same day as nurrish's) Westons 305bhp RS 330bhp (in theory) So if you calculate the drivetrain loss at 17%(ish) mine would be putting out 275 RWHP, only 25 less than Adam@Z1's car so something is wrong here somewhere if you catch my drift. I agree that there is definitely something wrong with the dyno world if two different dynos can be so far apart on the same car but it wouldnt put me off getting dyno's. Id just get them done at the same place all the time and use them to see gains as opposed to max power. In fact I may even stopp quoting my max power after dyno's (as its clear that it could be way out) and just say "fitted new mod today - got me 1bhp increase". As long as you always use the same dyno then increase wise we should be able to say pretty accurately what our mods have done for us. On another note surely there should be some sort of national dyno rules for things like what gear to use, how tight to strap etc......so that we can take it to different places and feel confident that we are getting a comparable test? Well the bloke at Westons (only dyno I have ever done) said that all of the Dyno Dynamics should be pretty close at it all comes set from them and not the individual tuner. As you said though, I think that the only way of getting reliable information is to use the same dyno every time forgetting about the actual figure and just keeping in mind increases and decreases in power.
  3. no worries, just dont offer to pay nurrish back with a dominos pizza as his missus managed to empty my bank account with the last order ( Only joking )
  4. Welcome to the club Nick Good luck with sorting your Clutch/Flywheel, I'm sure Alex will be able to sort you out

  6. Grant I can prob help you out mate. As long as its after 5 or a weekend you'd just have to replace the petrol Gimme a txt
  7. How many times have we heard that before Good luck with the sale/PX anyway mate
  8. to the club
  9. I would have thought the only real way of knowing would be to go back to Westons and get it done there again as they have nothing to gain by boosting numbers and you got it done there before the remap.
  10. Right on the Sussex coast in St-Leonards, i did put up a post in the introductions page asking if anyone around my area would take me out or let me drive a 350, but nothing so far, big ask i guess, and none of the dealers around this way seem to have any. I would have thought if you look for a meet someone would be only too happy to oblige. I'm down in Oxted next Saturday having some ECU work done, about an hour from you. But my car isn't stock, so wouldn't help in that respect. Ace cafe meet in October or Modified Live at Snetterton might be good opportunities. I was just about to say that yours probably pulls a bit better than most Martin
  11. Wont allow hotlinking Ian

  15. I may get or at least for this but at first glance I thought that was porsche
  16. Mines the same in second and first mate when its cold to be honest. I cant see gearbox work being under £1000 so I just put up with it
  17. +1 with getting the clutch and flywheel done. I had to have work done on ,ine and the clutch is getting to the end of its life now so I'm going to have to pay again I'd try and use the clutch pedal in future too instead of just crunching it in to gear Husk, may save a bit of money in the long run
  18. Wounded mate When it rains it pours.. at least you are almost guaranteed a better day tomorrow
  19. Me and GT4Zed did a swap the other month and my dials didn't work in his and vice versa. What year and spec is yours and if you know, what year and spec was the donor car? I may do this in the future
  20. Mate that nismo looks awesome with the white/black/carbon
  21. Mate I would really give it a go yourself. The door cards are really easy to get off and you get the added satisfaction.
