furry muff, its good to see someone thinking about what they are doing instead of chucking stuff randomly at their car

lol, I'm much happier without mine but you are right about a scooped car approaching in your rear view mirror; it can be quite intimidating

 

Just read through the whole thing and what a great read!!!!

i wish you all the best and that is far to technical for me to to understand all,but sounds like a well thought out project and great to see not one person has knocked you or had a go!!!!! all offering good advice is very refreshing IMO, they should be more like it on the rest of the threads on SN.

I will be a Knockhill round and will be cheering you on mate, will try and say a quick hello as well.

Mac

 

Cheers Mac.

I know from Knockhill last year just how friendly you all are up there, got so many people coming to say hi. Wonderful venue, great circuit and I am looking forward to that a lot. Pop by - always happy to chat

 

I had a quick chat with you last year...something about tyre IIRC.

Looking forward to meeting you again and hopefully a pax lap too.

 

Will be doing the SIDC trackday on the saturday, come up with a lid and if the seat is free ..... jump in

 

Come up with a lid???

You got me there.

 

crash helmet

 

that's southern slang for you skid lid. bikers down here have a tendancy to need them as they slide down the road after either falling off or being knocked off their bikes.

 

Han't hear that term for absolutly yonks.

 

Car is currently dead due to a fried ECU.

If anyone has a 2006 STi non ecutek'd ecu for sale or that I could borrow for two weeks you would be saving my life.

 

oh dear, wot happened?

 

firstly:

then because of that:

and now I have 5 days to sort before Time Attack.

 

what a nightmare after all your hard work. Good luck sourcing one.

 

I have just found a hero willing to lend me one for a couple of weeks

God, I love car communities at the moment

 

you'd best get mapping then

 

I am going to cart a full scale pc out into the garage to flash it with just to be sure

Just need to get the immobiliser keys synced - anyone know what the process is with this?

 

Nice one, got a few pics of your car last year(think its yours, looks like it),any chance of a wee passenger ride if available???

If available during the sidc trackday on the saturday - why not

 

bloody scumbags....

Hope you get it sort rapido.

 

Fitted the splitter...







Just a support to be made for the rear of it to hook up to the angle aluminium I have put there to support the rear and use this to raise the rear centre section to create a small hollow towards the centre of the car.

 

Just read about the bad luck you`ve been having gutted for ya mate.
Hope you sort everything out soon.

 

splitter looks v time attack

 

Just need to remember it is there so that I dont get my ankles with it

 

or tread on it

 

Simon - Jolly Green Monster synced the ecu with the immobiliser and it breathed and coughed to live running a version of a TSL map for very light mods. Obviously not suited to it but running

Simon then volunteered to copy my map values into the ecu while he was here, which took a while to copy and paste values into ecutek, but enough to be able to go out and test it.

We tested it and it seemed okay but a bit off on the fueling and very conservative on the timing (but I knew that part). While he was in the car he suggested he might as well make some changes to the map and get the job done properly 8)

Quite a few map iterations later and it is sorted. (apart from a small diversion when the clip came off the actuator and I lost all boost ) That and tesco's petrol station being shut and me having to put BP Ultimate in

Managed to get fueling almost spot on and a fair chunk of timing added at the top end in order to get it happy and running sweet at 1.7 bar even on the BP Ultimate. It will be even happier on proper petrol and give me some room to tweak the boost further to allow for the better fuel.

I owe a huge debt to everyone that have gone out of the way to help me. The list is very very long indeed.

Feeling calm and prepared for the weekend now - last few jobs and it is done

 

Good luck bud, keep us posted.

Mac

 

Glad its getting there Duncan, hope to catch you this w/e at some point. (Stu-wrx, SOX)

 

Really glad you got this sorted, it just goes to show what a community like this one can do when it all goes **** up.
Will be rooting for ya at the weekend, wish i could be there to watch/spectate.

Good luck Duncan, my engine plan is one thats very similar to yours at the moment so i am very interested in seeing how it performs ;-)

 

Good luck Duncan, fair play to you, very nice car indeed.

 

each of those stickers is worth at least 5bhp alone

nice to have met you, and of course the car

Simon
