Did some tinkering today. IL Motorsport 40% increase stiffness front ARB links:



Fitted, no pics.

During fitting the charger I had to lose the coolant bottle so ordered a bag instead and fitted and wired that up today:



Next up bigger injectors and the first Autosolo of the year next weekend.

Another day of tinkering. Swapped out the 1.8 injectors for yellow RX8 ones and popped it on the Dyno for a retune:





And the results:



So a rough 190bhp at the flywheel which is a considerable gain over 115bhp at the fly they have as standard.

Now I've got the full use of the revs (was limited to 6200 on the old injectors due to leaning out) it is much, much quicker. Tomorrow is my first AutoSolo of the year so looking forward to trying it out in some competitive motorsport in it's new boosted guise.

Farnborough and District Motor CLub April AutoSolo done and dusted. I finished 13th overall, 5th in class and 3rd fastest in an mx5. Nick of Skuzzle Motorsport was also driving my car and came 9th overall, 4th in class and 2nd fastest in an mx5. He beat me by 10 seconds overall. Pretty chuffed and the car was brilliant all day. Nick even got a trophy. Vids to follow.

Did the dyno lot give you AFR and Boost Pressure graphs as well?

No I didn't bother asking for that as we'd just set up the AFR's on the mapping and boost with a supercharger is pretty flat anyway. Should still be in the computer though so next time I'm done I'll get him to run one off. :)

Lots of boring videos of me and Nick Bailey From Skuzzle Motorsport AutoSoloing the car. I should have mounted the GoPro Higher!
