Yes it's the Maxton S4 lipVery ice.What lip is that ??
Looks like the Maxton one,but slightly different ?
I've been going there for years with all my cars and various dyno days and they are very good, Martyn who managed their dyno really knows his stuff and very helpful.Shame you couldn't get strapped down! I've heard mixed reviews about their place, some people swear by it whereas others avoid it like the plague.
Tbh the are worst places to get stuck than St Moritz although it is expensive, a beer is 8.50euros!!
If you find an extended warranty that allows for your mods please let me know.Glad to hear buddy it was all sorted without much of a hassle. Would also be interested to know your warranty claim as the car is modded . Reason I ask is that my warranty is about to finish in couple of months and I am weighing in the idea of whether or not to go for extended warranty
Great to know as that's the tyre I plan to have nextI've fitted A set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres which are excellent in the wet & dry, the car previously had Continental 5P's which were ok for everyday use but I didn't like when pushing the car hard, having previously had Michelin Pilot Supersports on a BMW which I found to be very good so I went with the new Pilot 4S and I must admit I'm very impressed with them.
Finally got round to installing my double stacked DIY cooler. I used the charge cooler from a Jaguar XKR and it required swapping the power steering cooler to something that would fit on top. Couple of pics from the mock up stage.

Is there any way I can test if my car is boosting to the correct amount after a sc pulley swop and remap .is it possible my car isn't running at say 15psi .can it only be done on a rr ect .sorry I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about so excuse the question if I'm talking keek.Interesting @Carbera9. Would be interested to see the IATs and the difference it has made. Are you getting any boost bleed atm? Are you also looking at getting some map tweaks to see if you could use any boost release fully?

The whole kit cost me about £150 to source all the parts and a couple of sessions taking the bumper off to measure up and work out what was needed to be sourced.
The car always felt a little slower/not quite as responsive after 3 or 4 pulls which I put down to rising IAT's going over the threshold and the ECU pulling back. I've yet to test this new set up but I'm hoping it will help to elevate this a little and provide more consistent power delivery, time will tell. The car is going on the dyno again in a couple of weeks so will update then.
I will look at doing the coolant pump mod this week if I can locate the correct wire to be cut
I used a jaguar XKR/XJR supercherged cooler
Dimensions are ;
CORE = 400mm x 240mm x 30mm
OVERALL = 500mm x 270mm x 50mm (not including hose fixings or legs)
Inlet/outlets = 19mm OD
Yes apr and I have changed the supercharger pulley .would it be of benefit to me to change the crank pulley also and would my map need tweaked to accommodate .i use super which is 97 Ron over here .cant get the 100 or 103 ect you guys can get .just out of interest what price is the fuel over there for the shell or Tesco momentum ect.our 97 is around £1.25 atm@GarethS4, believe yours is APR Stage 2, single pulley isn't it? Is it Supercharger or crank pulley as I believe the boost bleed would be different. Also, what fuel are you running atm?
APR tune should remove it so that it builds to the redline.

I think Their 100 and 103 isn't a RON rating and is the equivalent to our 95 and 98/99 RON fuel over here in the U.K.Yes apr and I have changed the supercharger pulley .would it be of benefit to me to change the crank pulley also and would my map need tweaked to accommodate .i use super which is 97 Ron over here .cant get the 100 or 103 ect you guys can get .just out of interest what price is the fuel over there for the shell or Tesco momentum ect.our 97 is around £1.25 atm
US 91 RON = UK 95 RON, US 93 RON = UK 98 RON. The 100+ RON's are race fuel....I think Their 100 and 103 isn't a RON rating and is the equivalent to our 95 and 98/99 RON fuel over here in the U.K.
That's expensive stuff there .we used to run the rally car on it and it made for an expensive day out .US 91 RON = UK 95 RON, US 93 RON = UK 98 RON. The 100+ RON's are race fuel.... View attachment 134467
The guys at APR UK were using it when they were tuning my car... I haven't asked them what it made.... but at least the engine will be nice and loose nowThat's expensive stuff there .we used to run the rally car on it and it made for an expensive day out .
