I'm happy with how shes running, there's abit of a weep of oil from under the turbo so that needs investigating.
The chip in the ecu is from a reliable tuner which should see 380bhp and I have confidence in them that it should be drive able.
I now need to get the brakes sorted and the prop shaft sorted.
In the time it takes to sort these I will be tidying the wiring up.
Then it's going to get the suspension set up and get rolling roaded.

Then it will be enjoyed..... When's the next mini Santa pod day!?

To say I'm happy is an understatement!
I have a couple of things to check, then I might be tempted to turn on the anti lag! Lol
I've found my second wind and can't wait to work on it. I'm setting myself a new target for it running perfectly for the 10/08/14 at Santa pod. If it isn't ready to compete then I might just bring it along for people to have a look.

OOhhh I like that suggestion, just looked and you aren't too far away!

Been playing with it today.

I swapped out the oil pressure sensor to a stack sensor so it reads it correctly and theres some calibration to be completed on the temperature sensors. Other than that she runs sweet.

 

This is the video of the first rev and she sounds very nice indeed

 

The second video is of her revving quite freely while getting up to temperature.

That alarm going off is brilliant!

[MiniLandy]

Hahaha classic! Hope to see this at Santa Pod, as long as I'm not racing it on the strip...

[Ben_O]

Bet you were dancing round on the driveway when that started for the first time!

 

Congratulations mate, Plain sailing now surely??
