Got to say what great service i've had from Just Lambda 
, ordered the Lambda sensor on Friday about 2pm, got a email on Saturday to say it's been posted and it arrived on Monday morning

Well it seems we may have finally sorted out the running issues I've had with the car lately, Simon (JGM) came round yesterday to switch the lambda sensor back on after i changed it
When we were driving he noticed that it was reading lean all the time (was reading rich last time) and he didn't want to leave it like that as the ECU would probably want to chuck in a load of fuel to compensate
After a bit of head scratching i suggested could the old CEL fix that was fitted by Xtreme Scoobies a few years back when i first had a decat be the problem as this was a resistor across 2 of the wires leading to the ECU
Simon removed the resistor and rejoined the wires and away we went again and now the lambda sensor was changing from rich to lean to rich etc as it should be
The car now drives a lot better and now does actually idle without any hunting so fingers crossed it's all sorted
I would like to say a big thank you to Simon for his patience in dealing with this issue and hopefully the next time i see you will be for a bit more power (meths)

OK a bit of a update, went to Surrey rolling road today to have a tweak by Simon (JGM), since the last time i was there I've put in new spark plugs and a new fuel pump (walbro hi flow) which seemed to have cured a problem i had that i thought was down to the Simtek, last time it was remapped it made 434bhp & 380ft lbs
This time we got 444bhp & 385ft lbs on just V power but with a 15% methanol mix with V power it went up to 470bhp & 415ft lbs at 1.7 bar
I would like to say a big thank you to Simon for his mapping skills and putting up with all my emails over the last couple of months
New fuel pump against the old walbro 255lt pump

it's been a while since I've had that forced induction shove in the back 
, you said then it had a bit of a kick, well that kick has just got bigger

Just a little update on those people that asked what the air filter setup would be like in the rain, well i did a very wet track day at Brands yesterday and i did have the STi fog light cover on but i didn't have any problems with it

Just a little update, with the APS intercooler you can't use the standard front towing eye, wasn't really too worried about it but after the track day at Brands and the marshals kept asking me about it i finally decided to get it sorted
Thanks to Alyn at AS Performance for delivering it in super quick time (and at a good price), all ready for 30-130 now
