No pics for you tonight lads :

BUT!!!!!

Its working, got a very basic map on the thing and it pulls like a *******, getting belt slip over 4k though

Need to get some odds and ends tomorrow but look out for a video and sound files in the afternoon.

Thats a very nice looking MX5, have you got a bodykit on there?

Can wait to see the vids when it's fullay mapped. Hint Hint.

Awesome, how do you think it compares speed wise to your Leon?

Its hard to say at this stage, its not mapped properly and it was only a 5 min run I had in the MX5.

From the looks of things it would be evenly matched to 80~ possibly the MX5 pulling ahead with a better start. Top end is still in the Leon's favour but that will be down to gearing.

Just about alive, stag weekend, feel like pants!

Not as quick as the lcr, but its only running a base map to get the thing moving, for example under full throttle its getting an AFR or 9.8 this is running mega mega rich, i should be looking at 11 / 12 under full boost.

(above quoted cause it fell onto the other page)

Hi m8

My AFR is around 11.4 wich is a tad rich, most ideal on mine is circa 11.8-12.0 I believe but my tune is also on the safe side.

I bet the car goes really well and as soon as you get it setup I am sure its gonna fly.

Sounds good, will keep a close eye on mine during summer don't want it to knock, i'm going to run on the safe side for the moment but i know people who have run with just a crummy fuel pressure regulator and retarded base timing!

I really need to get my knock sensor installed now but i'm not sure how to tune it to detect knock and not normal engine noise, might take some time off get it on the dyno next week get it mapped and knock sensor configured.
