I've asked him lots of questions by email. The answers were:
1. The remap was a standard upgrade map, the car is not heavily modified so I could not justify the extra expense of a rolling road map. As such, I do not have dyno prints, sorry.
http://www.mpmotorsportz.co.uk/ carried out the remap.
2. The dash is OK but the P/S airbag cover is warping as usual. Seats have bolster wear but it's not too bad at the moment. Carpets have a couple of small marks. I will work on pictures for you today.
3. There are a couple of small dents. One to the boot, one to the N/S R arch (That was a blue door in the car park, you can tell!)
4. Last time I saw under the car it was fine. This was when I changed the track rod ends last summer.
5. Mechanically, the car is sound. I have fitted the Sheddist clutch hydraulics as the OEM ones were starting to go. The engine pulls through the range. No holes in exhaust. The brakes where new disks in 2010 and new pads last summer. Tyres fitted last summer.
6. Car does not leak oil.
7. The VIS motors open as they should. They have not been changed yet though so they may go as the common fault that we both know they are.
8. The car has never been in an accident or written off. I have used touch-up paint for stonechips but never anything else.
9. I do not know what the symptoms would be of the plenum not functioning, I'm afraid. The motors open and you get that lovely "boost", but the plenum I don't know. Sorry.
10. The engine has a tapping noise when cold. I would be changing the oil this weekend if it didn't sell.
11. The clutch was replaced last summer (It had a bit of a refurb back then!), as I said earlier, the hydraulics have been uprated.
12. The airbox used to have a pipe to a resonating box in the N/S wing. This pulled hot air from the top of the engine back. Both pipe and box are removed (But I have them in my shed, if you want them). The airbox itself has had the bottom end cut out where the pipe originally connected. This acts as a scoop, of sorts. This has reduced the fording depth of the car, so you would be avoiding puddles, but has added a small amount of power and a large amount of noise. Wonderfully though, when not over 4,000rpm the car sounds quiet.
13. I do not have the original catalytic converter, no.
14. Modifications: Not much else. There is a USB cable running from the rear view mirror to the cigar lighter, I don't think there is anything else.
15. Door handles have never let me down, even in this weather! I did have to replace the inner driver's cable catch though.
16. Aircon works fine
17. Car does not leak
18. It is a hatchback, sorry I didn't show that well enough in the pictures.
