Cheers! Although if you like Clio's, but wish they went a bit quicker, you'll like R53's :up:
Ha ha, I think it was probably more luck than skill ...
lol. Love you, & your spacerz :kissingheart:
Something along those lines, but with a lot more "i wish i hadnt done that, my foot hurts" 😂
Nowt wrong with the map, it was done by 1320, who are, bar that bellend Jan in the US perhaps, probably the best anywhere. Injectors were flow tested after the original sparkplug gate, also fine. Valve stem seals are in need of replacement, it smokes on startup & got through a couple of litres on Monday, so all in all, it probably just needs some engine rebuild based love. I'll comp test it at the weekend, see what that says!
Yeah, was all on track, couple of what looked like D-Type style thingies as well.
*like like like*
I didn't see how it went on track, so i cant judge its grip levels, but id say he's probably mental 😂
You are good at adding but you still f**k up. Get the map changed.
Who do you suggest, no one else has the software to map blooming R53's!!
Overfilled the R56 with oil ... although their customer service, i.e. rebuilding the top end for free afterwards, was good :up:

In effect, the map was slightly off the first time as the s/c belt that Lohen had fitted was wrong prior to its initial map back in 2010, so when i fitted the proper belt & went on track, the boost was too high & the fueling not enough (poor explanation, but there or there abouts). This was then sorted by 1320. Second time round MSV had dead fuel in their tank - the car is mapped for VPower and what i put in onsite was NoPower. They dipped it and refunded me the cost of the trackday (no admission of liability though obviously). So my assumption is that once i've plonked the new head on, all will be fine again.
Yeah, it'll go back to Charlie at Surrey Rolling Road for the next CS day id imagine. He said the AFR was perfectly fine last time round.
Glad to see it getting fixed, it would be a shame to see it broken over a simple fix.
No idea, i'm just going on what 1320 say "Enough for a full coolant change" - maybe you dilute it with water?
Pretty well as it happens! Epic weather = nice weekend of car tinkering :up:
Urgh, yukky poo water 😂 probably never been changed before then!!
Its an early GRS "Motorsport Version", without the diverter that they fitted onto the later ones. Have been tempted on occasion to fit an Airtec FMIC, but they are a hell of a lot more money & id loose boost/need to move up to a 17% to offset it. This one generally keeps temps where i need them and it'll only get close to "temp clipping" IAT's on a very warm trackday - i keep an eye on temps with the Scanguage and let off on the straights to manage that anyways.
From memory, low to mid 50's. With this setup, its very rare that i ever lose power, well, unless the valve has broken up 😂
I'd love a go in a R56 tbh. He was fitting a new fuel setup in his R56 when I was there chasing 350bhp. I bet that's fun. :laughing:
His R56 looks to be a monster lol!! Mine was fast enough with 235 bhp, a Manic map would have taken it to 270 or so and that would have been ridiculous, 350 is just for the pub bragging rights 😂 As a road car, the way the R56 delivered the power was far better, low down boost, lots of torque, no need to hoon everywhere at 7k rpm chasing some speed, the mpg was better, the interior was solid & made out of non British Leyland plastics. But on track, where none of that is important, it was nowhere near as much fun as the R53, which is flipping awesome post 4.5k rpm, chasing towards 7.5k, whining away like a mentalist :hearteyes:
