Looking forward to catching up Taylor, is the Moose coming up as well?

Just a pity that Jarvis won't be there but then again I don't think he'll be top dog this time...

Well I had a good day, happy with 274 bhp. I've just photoshopping people number plates and I'll post the pics.

Nice to meet everyone, hopefully you all got home without any problems.

hi guys, had a great day and nice to speak to most of you there and put some names to faces , plus all the cars looked great

still a few i spoke to that i still can't remember their user names

mixed bag for me as it was a great place but think they should have had a screen so people could see what was going on and also do a run in 4th gear and one in 5th just to see difference for the 6 speeders

my car was down by 50 bhp which is alot but think it's one of three things so not happy as i have to spend time and money to find what it is but looking at graphs its running very very lean

it could also be that part of the lower bhp was down to wrong gear as they run in 4th but being a 6 speed should it have been in 5th just another thought

see you all soon guys

Thanks for a great day guys, good to see some familiar faces again.
It's been a while as I can't make the Wednesday meet anymore due to college.
Nice to see what all the hours I've spent mapping have yielded though. Already tweeked the map tonight as there is still a bit of scope left.
Close but not quite the magic 400bhp. (@ 383) Maybe next time.
Nice torque figure thought at 415.

Great guys at Ajec though. I will deffinately be going back there for my next run, I thought they were well organised and helpfull.

Thanks again guys.
Daz

Thanks to Calvin for organising an excellent day at Ajec. Nice setup there and as has already been said well organised and good feedback on each run.

Here's my car on it's way to producing a solid 320bhp at a mere 1.4bar. Fuelling was spot on and the map was excellent according the to operator (my thanks must go to Paul @ Zen for the original map and recent tweak).

After Lee's car went on the rollers I went in search of a cuppa and a bacon and egg bap. So apologies to those cars I didn't take a pic of.

P.M. me if anyone wants a hi-res version of the pics

...and while on my way home I was amused to see this Ford Focus transporting a tree

I had a very enjoyable day and it was good to meet everyone. I had been expecting a bit more more power from my blue '03 STI, 308 isnt bad, but it had 313 before I fitted a manifold and 2nd decat. The operator did say he would be very happy with my map, but he saw the tears in my eyes and my bottom lip quivering and said that it was a hot day and where my car was originally tuned are known to have higher figures. It seems that most people were down on what they expected, so can't we all use some tippex and add 50 bhp.
