Furthermore the Hydra Nemesis ECU will be available for anyone to buy as soon as mine has the final tweaks in the next few days.
Pricewise etc im still none the wiser but i am assured that itll be far more value for money than competitors.
If anyone would like some contact details to enquire about the full spec, package and mapping let me know and ill forward some names and numbers on to you.
Im more than happy to take anyone for a quick drive or something if you want to test one of the finished products first

When it comes back from having the final map and i get a rev counter on (havnt got the foggiest what RPM im at with the old 1.0 clocks still in and a clock in place of the rev counter on the right side) ill give it some proper testing.
I should be getting a nice juicy printout of everything aswel so expect a few figures to be put up soon

Sounds great Matt, how would you say it feels compared to mine?

tricky to compare with it being so long since experiencing yours. Could do with going for a drive when you get back, doing a few miles in one then swapping over to the other if you like?
Im massively impressed with it already though, eagerly awaiting its final return home now as Richard at Tractive was pretty confident that theres plenty more that he can get out of it after id ran it in.

What you having done come payday?
Well I'm going to Mikes in a few weeks, so what if I call on my way back up on the Sunday (16th Nov)? It will be a quick visit, but at least I can pop and say hello.

Still so much i want to do. Immediate list is:
Get a new front bumper and spray it
Weld on new towing eye bracket to the front
Fit a 2nd fan with a switch onto my centre console
Rewire fog lights
Passenger vt door panel needs redoing
Drivers rear vt panel needs respraying
Need to get interior sorted- no interest in the leather atall yet so a bit snookered until i can shift that
Throttle bodies late next year
Fit the new spoiler (only a handful of people know which one ive got though, its not anything silly but its also not the norm)
Take off the rear splitter
Paint some more bits under the car
The list goes on. Alot of tidying up to do tbh
