what do you want to know mate,

its my sisters other half van,

its up and running now but has been on the rollers but never got finished due to falling out with the company doing it due to work being done and charged for that was never agreed on, but before he pulled it out it made 430bhp at 7 psi i think it was or something silly, il get the graph scanned in if you want,

its up and running but we took the clutch and box out last weekend to have checked as it was squeling but its back now and all ok so re fitting it on saterday

heres some pics before we took the box out,

think he would want the mapping done properly first as it should be up in the 700-800bhp mark he said, but doesnt know who to take it to, its on a hks ecu set up i think

Fit something else then, be a shame to lose use of the car for ages just for the sake of not getting a secondhand autronic for a grand or whatever

lol dave would have a heart attack if you told him to buy a new ecu for a grand just because it would be easier to map

il have to ask him what he's going to do about it and egg him on to get it finished properly, before he gets too involved with his cossie mini or cossie bmw lol

Plenty of companies will map HKS for you! RE Worx in Portsmouth, Sumo Power etc... Even if it was just to get it running and driving!

Quality project though, looks really nicely done! Love the rear view with the wide rear wheels

Ive actually had the pleasure of seeing this car in the flesh and the pics dont do it justice!! awesome bit of kit

Also know the place it was taken too as thats where i saw it, its also the place my partner was "training" but has now left due to the owner being a pleb and messing her about with the skyline she bought from there!!! that amongst other things which i wont go into so the car was the final straw!!

Ask him if he remembers tacha from down there, lets just say despite them being a jap tuners shes actually taken the skyline to be checked over down SPA near hastings now!!! then probably abbey to be set up etc.
