Good to hear.
These bits are top of the list. 
I'm fitting wishbones with Alex tomorrow. I've got play in the passenger balljoint, and the drop link ain't working right. I get a knock and a creek noise every time I pull away from standstill. Also, when driving on the motorway, it feels like it's really windy outside, the car sways side to side and the steering feels really weird and unresponsive. 
The wishbones have got Spoox competition rear bushes on them, so they will make a nice upgrade from my current stock bushes. They have the same front poly bushes as my current ones. I've got new balljoints being pressed in Sat morning, and new droplinks to fit too. I'll take some snaps of the wishbones this evening. The Spoox bushes look pretty damn cool.

I've been asked a few times to do a spec list, so here's a quick one of the engine:
C2 VTS engine - Fully re-built with competition, low-friction big end bearings
Forged con rods and ARP rod bolts
Wossoner 80mm hi-comp pistons - Currently running 12.3:1 CR
Modified valve seats to accept bigger exhaust valves
AT Power iTBs
Emerald ECU - mapped by Northampton Motorsport
164bhp at the wheels.

That's the wideband addition, which I didn't opt for. Don't like the idea personally.

I don't like the idea of the map being altered all the time.

Yeah but you could have it running at a set map though
Then switch over to a "MOT" friendly map etc

if the map is fixed, then your fuelling will be out when atmospheric conditions change. Your not going to be able to compensate for high pressure, low temps, high humidity etc.....
Manufactures dont fit wideband to their cars for no reason.

From what I gathered from the KMS wideband, is it makes a note of corrections, and then allows the user to upload them to the map. I don't think it's a live wideband type setup you would see on the likes of a OE car. Wouldn't you also require a manifold absolute pressure sensor for this to work?
As far as temperatures are concerned, my air intake temperature sensor was left, and wired into the Emerald, so I assume it's there for a reason, but I'm not sure what exactly.

It does make live alterations dave, and then saves those changes in a 'corrections' map that can then be loaded ontop of the 'main' map if and when wanted.
Hopefully that made sense Lol

Hehe.
It doesn't make complete sense, because why would you want to save something as a correction if it's alterting all the time? See what I mean?

Because your constantly fine tuning the map to how the engine is bedding in / slightly changing all the time - so at least it stays as close to a 'perfect' map as possible, where are yours is 'perfect' for now, but wont be adjusting for once the engine has loosened off (for instance) in 2k miles...
