well it seems i have once more jinxed myself....

the r25 is poorly and as such there is currently no way i ca nget my car to Matt in time for him to fix both his and mine, before he needs it for a job already booked in.

So it is being postponed until 8th Feb and hopefully dyno on the 13th - assuming Matt Reidy is not already booked.

Looks like i will be missing the .org sw meet as well as i will prob have to do the car swap on the sunday :(

I really think my car hates me as it never wants to do anything to my schedule!

Right, well we missed the 8th of Feb plan due to a few things coming up, so car is only just with Rally Matt atm.

Am hoping he finds the gearbox gremlin and i get the car back again some-time next week. I am away with work for the first 3 days of the week so not really an issue for me.

Just need to find a spare saturday now to head to yeovil - prob will be 1st weekend in March if Matt Reidy is free- to get the mapping tweaked.

It was funny got an email from Matt yesterday saying how he is enjoying driving the car atm and then he descibed it as the following: (slightly paraphrased)

"It is like a Windsor Chair with an ASBO"

I am geting all excited and nervous as to how the hybrid injectors will work:
a) with the mafless remap designed for the wingy injectors
b) once it has had another fettling on the dyno....

:mbounce:

You'll be like a dog with two dicks when fully sorted! :laugh:

Good luck with it! When I saw it at Matts, I loved the look of that intercooler (think thats what it was!)

p_b82 20-02-10 06:26 PM

Thanks Guys :)

If it was in the lower grill then yes it is the front mounted intercooler - nice race\rally spec core with custom end tanks with thermocouples plumbed into it... (not sure if MAtt had put the bumper back on when you saw it last or whether it was till 'Naked' :laugh:)

You can see it in the pics steve took when he gave my car its winter clean :)

I think i will be better than a dog with two dicks, purely as there will be no indecision as to what to do... i will just go out and drive the dammed thing :D

Well just been to collect the car again and it has finally stopped loosing drive..

Turned out it was the split pin on the n\s driveshaft this time which did the same thing as the offside a few weekss previously. just not quite as much gearbox oil loss this time :)

Hybrid injectors are currently in place, and i have taken a performance hit, althoughit is not quite as much as i was expecting. in 5th it will still keep up with most things on the road.

the real odd thing i have now got is that there is ZERO smoke out the back of the car, i had got used to a small cloud following me around all the time.

Unfortunatly at such short notice Matt Reidy could not fit me in tomrrow for a remap session, so i am popping down to see him on the 19th March am as i have the day off for an event in london in the evening. (it sucks that if i dont take the whole day off for an evening event i can expect to not be in the country :()

EGT's with these injectors in are seriously reduced, as sustrained run in 5th right up to 4000rpm only peaked at 680c, that is a good 200C lower than it was with the wingy spec injectors - which is also very promising....

God knows that the figures this thing will kick out will be, but she is driving very smooothly all the same :)
