don't think it will be wise to base fuel economy off the first few tanks, have a feeling you might be feeling the extra boost for a little while

[Rab]

Definitely

So much smoother ramping up the boost now - pulls heaps harder, but is far more linear that it was. Instead of a short, sharp push back in the seat it's now a stronger, longer, earlier and more consistent push back

A lot less violent (or on/off) than when it was stock so to speak.

Also the fact that my drive to work in the mornings (less than 2kms) will mostly be on the purging/petrol stage unless I wait longer than the actual drive itself takes for it to switch over. - If I base it on that I'll be getting 500kms out of a tank Am tossing up whether to run the petrol tune for during the week (mostly very short trips) solely for that reason.

The trip to Adelaide in a couple of weeks will give me a far better read (of highway useage).

[Rab]

Oooh - almost forgot the important bit (I know dyno sheets aren't everything, but it deserves to be put up just for the time Mick spent on it getting it perfect)

Plus: it means I can now post in the 300+ club

Nice work Mick

Hope ya took heaps of photos of it to use on the website for advertising

now there is no-one on the dyno.......want me to head down??????????????? hehe

Make sure you let us know when you hit souf straya Raband.

I'll get off my lazy ass and come and meet up with ya somewhere

hills cruise donny. mannam Murray bridge chain of ponds and a bit of german bakery.

Haha - There was nothing flash about my car to be advertising compared to some of the beasts and builds they've had through there.

The advertising my cars worth will be word of mouth and recommendations rather than pics. Unfortunately most of my mates drive Skoda's, so only the forums will be relevant for me.

That said - I do have one mate who's started looking for an affordable FPV since he got a taste of mine (stock)

Not too sure about there being an empty dyno either - best speak to Bel and once you've worked out what's getting done work out the best dates to have the magic performed.

Am heading over to Adelaide on the 19th for a gig on the 20th with my son - would love a catchup on the Friday (21st) or Sat (22nd) before the cruise back to reality if either of those days work.

Last time we felt our way through the hills to Hahndorf and the Motor Museum so will probably have a blast through that area again unless you've got some other recommended spots to visit/cruise.

Either way - put in the call, decide on the work you're wanting done (take any advice Bel gives) and book in a time.

edit: just saw BiZkets post after I posted mine - I took a long time to hit send. Can I leave it to you guys to plan an itinerary for me?

22nd I have a wedding so friday is good I can always a sickie. I know don is flat out with work though:p

might have to leave it up to him but I love driving and giving it a bit of sh*t when I know the roads. invos help to:D

[BenDoCo]

Yeah Friday works.... night or day?

.......organize it plz Biz & pm us...

I'm waiting for Bel to ring me to say bring it down.

They know what I want....'ish 1000000kw for $5.oo but Bel said that all I'd get for that is some crappy photoshop image that Mick would do in his spare time.

Doing all the norm raband....they have my cooler there already and then springs, exhaust, port & flapper, injectors etc. and a heat exchanger for the trans.......that I have here (Bel..hehe)

Still thinking about an LSD but will talk more about this with them

[Rab]

I'm good for anytime Friday (after say - midday - sleep-in/checkout etc)

Will be hitting up Magill Road for dinner at the Mexican place (was so good last time we were there that we still drool - it's a definite) and also Chile Mojo for some supplies, so either side of that would work from my end - either meet for a bite to eat (or after the meal) and then cruise, or finish the tour in time for some shopping (they close at 5:30) and then dinner. Would be welcome to join us at the table (would probably need to know so I can tell how many to book for though). Ample parking.

Either way - if you want to show me round, let me know which part of the day works - will decide where we crash for the Friday night depending on where we end up.
