It will be better next week, it's getting some proper tyres which should make it quieter and improve the ride, bought some Avons make in Wiltshire but cheaper from Berlin................that can't be right!
Improved it a bit this week. It had been remapped by the previous owner but it wasn't quite right with the PP 0.5 injectors, so had a visit to Dean at Vanology, unlocked it, remapped it on his rolling road, much more drivable.
Dean suggested that it benefit from an intercooler, so found a proper one on ebay complete, ordered Tuesday afternoon, delivered Wednesday 9.00am good service! Going to fit this next week.
Changed the cheap tyres (235/40x18 W95) to some Avon ZZ5's 245/45x18 100W, now much improved ride and turns in better, they also have built in rim protectors! According to my Sat Nav the speedo
is now spot on!
Having acquired a Factory type intercooler from ebay, I had another visit to Dean at Vanology, we fitted the intercooler after having to modify the brackets a little, we think it was for a long nose and mine is short!
A little bit of remapping and I have finished up with 128bhp and 268ft.lbs torque which is plenty for me, we'll see what the economy is like now!
I also had Cruise Control fitted, it's excellent and suits how I drive it perfectly, money well spent. just the seats and the steering wheel to do in January and that will do me 'til Turk finishes his mission!
