should give warning before you write an essay

everyone whos had a pred ecu seems to say good things, if i ever go back to a saxo or 106, and go for some good tuning, think il opt for one.

Couldn't recommend it enough - half the price than getting others fitted and for what I need it to do it does it perfectly.

I'm not running antilag/launch control etc. but for TB's it seems great! Just want to get some miles on it and enjoy the noise !

smiith · 4th May 2009, 17:07

sweet, you do right buddy, my mate had a 106 rallye and it had carbs, and they sounded insanely good!

It's well worth the wait I can assure you !!! Just giving it some when mapping the high tps sites is fun !!

The wideband is awesome too, just takes a bit of time to warm up, just when you want to see what afr there is during cold starting !

Thanks for the info mate, that's very useful! I think I'll buy 60mm and 90mm trumpets, cut the scuttle and see what makes the best power. If I can get the 90's wedged in, I can then look into getting the wiper conversion immediately after...

Glad your car is coming a long nicely. Looks like we're gonna have very similar set ups, just a different ECUs...

AndySAXO^p · 5th May 2009, 11:03

Sandy said that's the ECU he would prefer to use. Not sure on filter yet. I'll wait and see what size trumpets are being fitted first, and where abouts they sit. FOr temporary measures, I can just cover them with tights!

Cars looking good mate, Should get some gti leather in. Your bros car looks sweet, What colour red is it? Seems to have like a tint of gold in it. Really neat conversion too.

It's a standard red colour - looks to be the same as yours.

I couldn't bring myself to spend £300 on an interior - would rather spend it on the essentials first. Interior wise, depending on whether I get an everyday car, I'd just get a cage welded in, buskets and then look to get rid of weight.

The only thing left ot buy really is some discs for the 4 pots - suspension and new gearbox goes on in a few weeks.

Woooooo does this mean its done engine wise?

we need some videos and pictures now get them up

So what track is going to see the first abuse?

I'm happy engine wise and don't really want to spend much more on the engine as i feel its enough power to make it a fun A to B car - might look to get a lightened flywheel & Colin Satchel crank and alternator pulleys in the future to help it 'rev' up quicker - with the S2 gearbox I think it should definately improve things!

I plan to get it on the rollers for Andy to have a play with the map, and to see what sort of power we can get out of her. This isn't ugrgent as the afr is good and it drives superbly.

Once I get he 4 pots on and the Group n's on I'm hoping I'm happy with the car's set up and can just enjoy it and put my money away ready for getting the next car as this ones getting a bit to 'hardcore' for everyday commuting.

I don't know - am hoping to get some track time at FCS. Am definately going to book some track time at Angelsey in September, so this should be the first 'track day' for the r888's!

You've been quiet on the update front

They come with some 25mm ones iirc - havnt really checked to be honest! They are the hubcentric spacers but with longer bolts instead of the bolt on ones - I think they should be fine but will see when I fit them.
