Right guys thought i'd update the thread after taking the car out a 100 mile test drive tonight lol....
1st off really good news, the car is 100% better than it was last night (I don't get it??)... now i'm not an expert on mapping and this is the 1st car i've mapped, so its all new to me... Brodster did say that there was gonna be some settling in period with the car, and he wasnt joking..
Tried all sorts of driving styles tonight and the clutch slip is all but non-existent now... Was changing the driving style up, revving a wee bit longer through gears, progressive acceleration mixed with hard acceleration...
Progressive accelerating: No slips at all..
Hard accelerating: From 3rd to 4th.. coming on at 4k rpm there was a slight slip from 4500rpm to 5000rpm on rolling boost, then caught again straight away which isn't a big deal when you look at the speedo and your touching 90... the same was said between 4th and 5th in the same rev range... but again this was ripping it, pedal to the floor stuff, easily worked round! (Grammar?)
Also done some clutch drag to test.. yesterday this was slipping like crazy, went from 60 to 80 on the motorway, foot down from 6th and no slip at all... nice smooth acceleration.....
All-in-all so much happier tonight and can start to relax now... Clutch is still on the cards, but at least now its not so much a priority and I can put money by for it now... Car is still like a rocket compared with standard and perfectly driveable
... The intake flutter has reduced dramatically, so thats all good....
i'm still getting that intermittent clicking noise coming from around the backbox area and dont know what it is?.. Clicks away on idle, give it a sight rev then it disappears? anyone got any ideas?
Boydie.. these are the pics I promised, not the best but all I have... having looked at them again, I must say, I do prefer the matt black...
