Default Yawn :-) My new car - Back in a scooby again.

Got me a new car again, very pleased with it an goes like stink as you would expect and more to come Great to be behind the wheel of a decent scoob again. Only critism so far is I forgot how short the gears were on the 6 speeder and I feel like I am constantly changing gear, and that's when I am just pootling around at 40mph let alone when you nail it. Antilag is a reall hoot, and I really must stop switching it on.

Got 2 or 3 pin dents that should get sorted at Gatwick and a few more stone chips at the front than i would have liked, but I really must stop being so paranoid about things like that.

Its doesn't have the torque of a 2.5, but its not laggy at all, and better than the wagon I had with the VF34, so very pleased in that department. It just has power all the way in every gear.

Spec as follows;

Engine
Simtek ECU with ALS & LC activated mapped by Martyn Jeffrey to an everyday safe 445bhp/410 lb/ft, and high 300's on stage 1 map - But The urge to remap this to the majic 500+ is strong as can see this being sorted before my trip to leman.
