. Top work guys!

It won't be remapped most of them make 20-30bhp over the quoted figure from the factory. A remapped car would run 50-60 more bhp over stock.

Putting in 3L of oil is not good as it only holds 4.8L

Yeah it seemed an odd amount to increase by - as you say a remap is normally more than that, so it was confusing a little. Didn't now they had more than the book figure from the factory.

3L wasn't good. I've only had it 3 months and it was meant to have had an oil service, so will need to keep an eye on it.

Did you see the camera van up the Batheastern bypass this morning? - think he got me

nicRob · 23 Jul 2011 at 20:39

Just got back in, was a very good day - great turnout! Thanks to Gibbo for organising, and to everyone who attended.

Bit disapointed with my result, but hopefully once I get the overfueling issue sorted then power should be back up a bit....might get it mapped again sometime soon though.

Replace your thermostat and all will be well

I didn't go to the meet

, was at a mates wedding.

What a barsteward... I've been a bit complacent on the A46/A4 since those two gatsos were turned off along with all the others! Was he up the top the hill (when your leaving Bath) where they used to put the scamera van? If so I haven't seen it there for a while!

Planning to do that on Tuesday

Top day out, nice to see some old faces and new. Thanks to Gibbo, Neil, and Princey for the passenger rides.

nicRob · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:09

Also thanks Howard for letting me use your g-meter thing, happy with 6.02s 0-60

Clown · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:11

Just got home. Good to see some new faces. I know a lot of you told me who you were but sometimes I just forget. I was the one with the big thing growing out of his nose

agw_01 · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:15

What do you have these days nicRob?

nicRob · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:20

Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo (should be ~255bhp, but overfueling atm (stuck thermostat, hopefully nothing else too) so got 228bhp today, and 231lb/ft (hopefully ~260 soon))

agw_01 · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:27

Nice step up from a Fiesta van then

230bhp isn't too shabby at all. I thought that was what they were supposed to be.

Oh and my rear brakes are fubared, bad times.

Just out of pad on the nearside rear surely? Sounded like the 'low pads' warning system they Supra has. Couple of us heard it scraping when you went towards the RR room and someone said it is the low pad warning. So should just be a set of rear pads.

Gibbo. Cheers for organising it, was a great day as usual. Great to see people again, great to meet new people as well.

I've got a load of pictures I'll be processing later and shall upload later tonight.

270miles in total today and it seems that the 'leak' is just the AC condenser being extra cool as many Mondeo owners said.

EDIT: Cheers for the passenger rides in Pete & Olly's M5 and in the two red gaymobiles. :cool:

Yep, it was parked by the fixed camera at the top, with the rear facing downhill. Wasn't expecting it there at 7.45am on an empty Saturday morning!

220bhp standard, but mine is running a supersprint exhaust + decat, and remap. Previous owner had it dyno'd at 256bhp and 262lb/ft a few years ago so hopefully back around that when I sort things

NathWraith · 23 Jul 2011 at 21:59

Yeah hopefully just new pads needed. May refurb and paint the calumets whilst I'm at it! I have to admit I was in an epic mood about it

Matches the epic mood I was in over that stupid gearbox of yours

nicRob · 23 Jul 2011 at 22:04

9999lb/ft torque!!

hopefully will be easier once the limiter is removed!

Great day out today and nice to meet some new faces and the regulars, many thanks to Gibbo for the pax ride and lending of the V-Box and Pmkeates for the passenger ride.

The Porsche goes well and sound awesome with the PSE, the colour is brilliant as well

That 535d is quick for something so large and the way it does it with no fuss is effortless.

Apologies to anyone who asked for a pax ride and didn't get one, at the next meet just ask

Finally got 0-60 recorded accurately, 4.2 isn't too bad

Neil.
