First, what a great day out Bedford was. It was good to see so many different cars on track, well done SIDC.
As some of you will know I had the Ecutek upgrade done a couple of weeks ago (the Tek1) and as I was so happy with that I went for the (Tek2) last week and I thought that I would try it out on Bedford...
All I have to say is
I felt like my car was flying it had great speed down the strights and felt very quick off the mark. Thanks again to Merv and Steve for a wicked product. I have made a video of my Bedford track day.. Its not small 10.5MB but it worth watching if you where thinking about getting the Tek2 and wanted to see if it's any good.
Also in the video I came up against P1, Skylines and a Link Ecu car not forgetting the New shape WRX and another scoob with the same mods as me apart from the Tek2.
ps... note to myself
Remember to switch off mobile when driving on track and also never do the silly girlie laugh when the camera is rolling...

I was one of the fortunate people to go out with Mark for a few laps, and it has got to be said that his car now flys (when going straight! 
).
In the time I was in the car we were being followed by an STi Type UK, and coming out of the corners, and down the straights Mark's car simply left them behind. The only time they caught us up was when Mark decided to take every corner near enough sideways!
Now all Mark needs to do is replace the discs that he warped due to his heavy brake foot!!

Yep another set bites the dust!!!!
So far Marks tally is Warped disc = 5
but in fairness the MRT have lasted the longest and I have done 3 track days on them.
Time to buy the bigger disc and pads..
Yeah Marcus, that was the best Race (oops) I mean, blast around the track I have had with another motor. The chap that was behind me also had a in car camera and he said that he would send me the film..

Nice video Mark... very entertaining.
It moight be worth noting that Zip can't really do much to a real media file! 1% compression rate for goodness sake!

Hi Mattel
Snip> It might be worth noting that Zip can't really do much to a real media file! 1% compression rate for goodness sake!
I know thats why I said under the file name that (this file is not smaller)
But if you are using the older real player 8 then it tries to buffer the video and play it whilst downloading which looks pants but if you are using realOne player then it downloads it all to your temp then plays the vid which is much better, otherwise download the zip then you can play it over and over again

Maffa,
it was the extra weight of that additional saugage roll that might have caused the sideways action
will watch the vid later, I've unfortunatley got work to do.

The vid is really good, the laughter isn't that girlie *cough*!
Nicely put together without side footage as well.
On the file size thing I must admit I didn't notice the thing underneath the zip file saying it wasn't smaller... sorry!

Before I download does it have my white MY01 in it?

Nice video mate and nice piece of driving might I add. I'm not really mechanically minded but can you tell me what a Ecutek is? I take it it's some kind of Upgraded ECU? Where can I get them from? I've been thinking about getting a Link ECU for my P1 but I would also consider other options.
You can mail me with the details off line if you wish. Much appreciated.
Cheers
Gordon

Hey your scooby sounds really nice, what kind of exhaust do you have?
And did i see correctly that you've kept the rear window open to record the sound of the exhaust better ;-) ??
