I hope yours turns out even better as it would complement all the hard work you've done over the years.
And congratulations on the news mate.

It makes sense really because if more air is going into the engine the mapping needs changing to suit it.
#934: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 5:40 pm ---- It's not a massive change mate its only gaining some lower down torque, I drove it back from Northampron to bham drove it for 2weeks then when back down to get it mapped when I got paid and it didn't run any different apart from the fact it had more of a kick lower down and pulled better, I was just sort of giving you the heads up that you don't need to rush out and get it mapped ASAP as its no biggie
#935: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Jan 10, 2013 3:12 am ---- No rush for me...a little less than perfect mapping wont do any harm in the garage!
#936: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:25 pm ---- You are right about the steering with the electric pump. It's a bit lighter which is a good thing definately. Started the car up and drove it out of the garage for the first time in 3 months.
#937: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Jan 11, 2013 6:11 pm ---- Lol I also love the priming sound of the pump, little things aye.
#938: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 25, 2013 4:11 pm ---- Not bad for a 12 year old car...
#939: Re: Project sleeper Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sun May 12, 2013 6:01 am ---- Out of interest Edward, have you ever had it professionally cleaned?
#940: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun May 12, 2013 9:08 am ---- Nope. Most professionals in my experience don't do the word justice. It will have swirls but nothing serious as it's never been near car washes or brushes etc.

#942: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat May 18, 2013 3:19 am ---- I've just added the bonnet catch but without the locking mechanism to catch the bonnet it the pins failed for some reason.
No point in spending the £450 for a radiator when it's not going to be driven until next year. It still gets started up and run for a short distance every few weeks though...
#943: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon May 27, 2013 4:40 am ---- I don't see the car very often so I forget how clean it really is...
Also decided to take the cam cover off to see what's going on in there. Not much room for cams of a higher lift.
#944: Re: Project sleeper Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Mon May 27, 2013 11:21 am ---- im sure its the cleanest car that gets used on the road, any plans for this year of have other priorities taken over
#945: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon May 27, 2013 11:59 am ---- Used on the road? 200 miles last year! Junior No.2 is due in the next couple of weeks so my time wont be spent on the car. Maybe towards the end of the year I'll order the radiator but that's about it.
