Default Stage 1 winter build complete! Big thanks to Gadget+Karl!

Finally got my car this evening from gadget who has been adding my new management system (well this was completed 4 weeks ago but thanks to cosworth parts being so damn annoying its taken a little long to get back home )

So big thanks to gadget for all the hard work you have put into the car and helping sort out the problems etc etc. Mucho appeciated mate!

Also thanks to Karl for sorting another map despite his busy schedual at the moment, again cheers matey!

And spadge for sorting the parts for me to get the bloody thing home

Onto Stage 2 now.... Off to SCC on Wednesday to have its guts ripped out.
Roll on the new year

ps. and thanks to max for the lift shame no-one wanted to play on the way there.... boring scoobie drivers hey!!

Yeah and thats without hitting any boost. Just so glad it fired up last night when we got to Garys, I've had a hell of a weekend and to come back without the car would have really pissed me off.

Even though the car has not been setup what so ever the throttle response is so much better and it now has far more torque off boost than before. Cant wait to get it setup and live mapped now!
