Just wanna thank Will,Blacky and Wenny.
The story goes like this.
I fitted a RS500 style intercooler in july and was booked to go on track at ford fair.Blacky ask Will for me to see of he would check my fueling to see if it was ok.I left the car with Will and blacky cause i was going to get signed on and have my briefing.
I got back to the car only to be told my fueling was really lean and wouldnt reckonmend going out on track.I was told the over 4.5 k revs the engine was dangerously lean.I decided to go out on track and i still enjoyed myself.
I checked the voltage to the fuel pump and found 11volts at the pump.I bought a bosch 044 pump and Blacky give me a hand to rewire the pump.We now had 13 volts at the pump.
Will took the car today to work his magic on it.I got a new chip,actuator and closed loop fitted and a coolent bottle cap off wenny.
Will brought the cae back tonight and i went out in the car to try it.Well what can i say.From second gear it just pulls like a train.I feels like a different car now.Im just happy that i know that the engine will be safe.
Got a few little bits and bobs to do to it now like the bloody hand brake cable which snapped when w
Will had it lol.
So thanks again boys i really appreciate it....

Happy.. im over the moon.I went to work a bit earlier this morning so i could give it a bit of a blast out.It pulls really hard from 2nd gear all the way through to 5th.It will be interesting to see im i save money on fuel now lol.
glad its running as it should - im surprised you still went on track despite them telling you not to. I had my car live mapped by Ahmed before i went out on track just to be safe

I had a little play when i was next to a brand new Audi A6 diesel and we were just side by side from off the lights.I was suprised how quick the Audi was.Ive just looked it up on google and the audi has 500nm of torque.
Its a shame we werent on a motorway cause it would off been interesting to see what the old sierra would of done.

So was everyone on here that recommended giving the track day a swerve due to not running safely.
Glad it's going well now though Glennyboy, enjoy yourself before you tuck the car up for the winter mate.

Cheers,
Grant
