....Another very satisfied one here on Mica Red Day at BRD

WOW !...the Car is a very different animal.
First thing you notice is how much smoother it is. Driving in traffic in town has been trasformed. Driving out of Richmond and through London was much easier. The car was quite happy moving along in traffic at 30mph in top gear if you wanted.
When i get the car out on the vast open planes of East Anglia and floor the throttle....away she goes. Extremely quick but in a very smooth way. Lots of acceleration when you need it in high gears and blistering out of corners and roundabouts
Another plus factor is my full decat Afterburner Vortex does not "drone" at 70-80 mph like it used to. About 25% quieter inside the car ...but it hasn't lost any of it's characteristics....just sounds more part of the car. Still sounds good in Hatfield tunnel

A big thank you to BRD and RB5_IOM.

To anyone reading this and thinking of a TEK3...as has been said before...you will not regret it because you'll have a much better car.

Well, i was the last but one to be done, the very last if you count the return trip on sunday. I can confirm that the car feels great and is very smooth but powerful. I had a few niggles with the initial map but a quick phone call and bob sorted it all out the next day. A great service from a very nice and knowledgeable chap. Thanks again bob for taking the time to look at my car again so quickly. Another very happy customer.

Dan.

P.S. Isn't sky plus a wonderful thing!

Default Last one!

Well I was the last to be done last Saturday after a fair bit of travelling to get to Swindon. Absolutely well worth it, credit card company love me though after all the mods!, but just wish I had gotten it done sooner.

As posted by others, thanks to Bob for his time, effort, experience and help with an unrelated technical problem experienced thereafter.

Thanks also to RB5_IOM for organising the whole thing. Best of luck to you all!
