That saves us all having to rip one mudflap off in sympathy. Thanks Ian.

Fitted a couple of switches today, can you guess what they will be used for (not at the moment though)

I thought "ejector seats". Now I will have to think of something else!!!

The one on the left may be for emptying the thrusting duct. Not good positioning though - liklihood of pressing the wrong one when driving.

Oh! Just had a word with the Squadron boffins. They are for the heated seats!!!!!

Red for heating up, and green for cooling down. Smart!

Climate Cup Holder controls like on the Audi Q5/Q7 ?

Red button to heat your beverage to a max of 59oc and a green button to cool your beverage to 3oc. Only £100 optional extra on the Q5/Q7. Deffo having one of those.... if I can find the other £28000 to buy a Q5.

Failing that are they for..

1) NOS?
2) Diff?
3) Water injection?
4) Some other injection mounted on the front mount?
5) Flamer?
6) Cloak?
7) Revolving number plate?
8) Oil slick
9) Missiles?
10) Change the colour of my wheels while in motion to green or red?

i guess Jag's must be a cusom jobbie then..nowt wrong with Simtek's, lots of people using them with great results. i just like the active knock control, data logging and multiple map options...i understand you can also use it to control DCCD in conjunction with LC

Well had the MD321S fitted yesterday and a Simtek with anti lag & launch control fitted and mapped by JGM today, had a little problem with a sensor but a couple of phone calls later (cheers Eureka) and that was sorted

Managed to get 432bhp & 380ft lbs at 1.5 bar, they did try 1.7 bar but something was holding the car back which wouldn't let it release any more power, after talking to Simon & Charlie it seems the the exhaust (still a 2.5" system) could be the problem so it looks like i'm after a full 3" system now

Haven't really had a chance to test it yet but the car does seem a lot smoother, did boot it a couple of times and if i'm honest it didn't seem that much faster but i was in quite heavy traffic so will give it another try when nothing is around

Thought i'd post up a pic of my engine bay after having all the work done

The APS intercooler kit comes with red pipes which i thought didn't look right in my engine bay so i decided to spray them black for a more stealthy look, unfortunately i run out of spray paint so couldn't do the APS induction pipe

Before


After

Decided to change the air filter that came with the APS induction pipe as it looked a bit small and had seen better days, couldn't fit the new filter on the induction pipe so had to use a nice big piece of silicon hose with a 45 degree bend

Standard filter in the wheel arch



New filter against the old



New filter in the wheel arch



Filter should get plenty of cold air through the fog light cover

Had the car mapped again for the 3" exhaust and it made a grand total of 2bhp more (434bhp)
Seems i have a slight misfire which is holding it back, gonna try a new set of spark plugs and see how that goes
