I just had rcm ceramic headers and 830cc injectors fitted and had a map session at powerstation for my rb320 making 410bhp,top Mount maxing out at that,but powerstation have gone into storage business and Andy who is the main mapper there is probably taking over the workshop including rolling road.

They are the types of mods I would be looking to do bry. As for me not changing to many things especially some obvious mods such as turbo exhaust etc will help keep the car as a Type 20 and not veer away from what it is, which will help it keep its value I hope!.

So you think that Powerstaion will still be doing maps in the future then??

Well when I asked Andy he was looking at taking over the RR bit plus mechanical side,one good thing they give me a big picture off their wall of solberg in the hawk giving it some beans which now is in a pride of place in my hall way if powerstation don't do mapping anymore then if I need a tweek I'd see Bob (don't retire!) Rawle or Duncan on indigo gt RR

Cars booked in end of January at 3 arches.

My rcm headers needed a slight repair on the front where they are bellowed out. I'll upload pics when I get to PC. Prospeed are sorting the repair as they are the nuts with exhausts. Productive morning.

Yeah as mentioned by you guys I would prefer a rolling road map. Seems safer.

Bit of an update. Car just 30 minutes ago came back from the 3 arches great service as always and runs like a dream, off for remapping in the morning.

Needed a new mass air flow meter as it had an idle problem. my k and n panel filter was dirty so a standard one has been fitted. SCM remaps have ordered me in a piper cross air filter to be fitted hopefully before mapping tomorrow if its in by time, if not it'll be mapped on standard filter.

The vf28 is mega whiney I'm shocked, sounds lovely though. cant boost it until mapping though.

charlie at prospeed repaired my headers after and did a top job as always. will update after mapping tomorrow!!

Hi buddy. I'll send u the couple of videos I took of urs
Couldn't map mine due to out of date firmware on the esl I had. Nevermind. Urs made a bit more than shown. The barometric pressure was off and would have shown an extra 4%... so ur closer to 330

I've used Mustoes on Severn Side Industrial Estate, Did a nice job on an Evo IV I owned that needed a straight forward pull on a jig.
Whatever you do stay away from Pontypool Accident Repair Centre I think they call themselves PARC now. He's the monkey who took me for over £500, messed me around for 3 months or so, then told me he didn't have time to finish the Evo. I then got another guy to just panel and paint it and the bay was still bent so it wouldn't panel up. The car went back to PARC to be sorted and within a few days he had the car stolen from there by someone who strangely had the key for the entrance gate. I was very fortunate that the car was recovered by the police as it was not insured or registered at the time being a fresh import. That's when I got in touch with Eddie Mustoe on recommendation who sorted the mess out for me, I can't speak highly enough in the way I was treated there.
