:sad: news

Car booked back in on 18th September!
My fault for my naivety everything was spot on first run was 209bhp so was well happy, Car went up on the ramp and we noticed from the decat to back box was 2inch in diameter!!!!

Not happy to the say the least! Not mentioning which garage it was but the cars back in Tuesday this week to have this rectified then back upto R-tech for two weeks (as im going abroad).

Atm the car is running 192bhp to the wheels and pulls MUCH better. 

R-tech put a map on my car and didnt take a penny today the service is out of this world its unreal.
Sad times  :cry: Lesson learned but next time vr6 maf, Calibra injectors and 80%sure water meth will be mapped in with no problems and they have 2weeks to play with to get it 100%  :wink:

I will be aiming for 250bhp plus and close to 300lbs of torque so roll on 6weeks!!!!

I am sorry for this long pointless thread so far  :cry:

Shame mate but I know how you feel I took mine there but had to take it home as there were to many little faults and was proper gutted! Like you say the service was second to none and they helped me out all the way.

I had the wrong injectors but they were willing to let me order some new ones get them delivered then work on the car, shame I had other faults with it.  :cry:

I will b booking and taking her back very soon and look forward to the results, im sure the same as yourself. Like said least you can now get all the bits sorted for the map, max potential!

:( unfortunate Jamie.

You putting WMI on it then?  192bhp at wheels must be about 220-225bhp is it?

Whoever fitted your exhaust needs shooting :(

Keeping this thread alive,
Car is booked in Tuesday 14th next week to sort the exhaust out.

I have been very very tempted to buy water meth kit but the hassle of buying it, fitting it and then keep on top of meth etc well its my daily car so I cba is the honest answer.

So rather than leaving my car with Nick for two weeks whilst im away im sorting the exhaust and going back up with hobnobs and try and map in the calibra injectors and 3inch maf. Aiming for between 240-250bhp and anything upto 300lbs torque in one day.
