lil bit of an update!
Decided to finaly get the paint out on my car today so sprayed the back matt black looks loads better heres a few pictures of before during and after
also sprayed my fog light covers gloss black rather than them being a dodgy greyish black
also painted underside off the car a bit, cars to low to see it very well unless at a distance or going up/down a hilll, but i know its there
and got the paint out on my waterbottle! and redid my fusebox cover but still needs another coat
Also as some of you know i went to TDI northa few weeks ago for a new K100 ECU, had it all fitted and mapped, and it came up as peak power increase of 20 BHP taking me to 220, but it threw up that my exhaust was a bit restricive, so iv had that changed and went back to TDI and put it back on the rollers and had another tweak and its now running 230, but my inlet temp is way to high so losing power. this is down to where my air feed is located, ITG Maxogen, so the CAF is in the wing and my front bumper was sat on the floor when on the rollers so not getting the cold air to it, so on the road should gain a lil bit more as the temps will be down,
ill upload my graph at some point, max power isnt alot higher than standard. but mid range iv gained loads og ponysthe whole way through the rev range. my Vtec point has been lowered by 1000 or so and my rev limiter has been upped
so the revs now run more freely and faster and for longer so win win all around its made a huge differnce,
while i was there i also had some poly bush mounts fitted in the car to stop any movment in the engine, they have made a great differnce to the car and the whole car feels much better, only down side to them is now the engine doesnt move the whole car vibrates.
Paul upped my idle by a few 100 revs to counter this and now there is vibrations but not to bad,
on the whole the car feels much faster and smoother due to the remap and much tighter and better gear changes from the mounts ( MPG has increased aswell when i take it steady)
no more vtec kick but it pulls all the way through the revs now
heres a video from my visit to TDI North
iv got a few pictures some where but cant find them!
seeing as TOA is on monday and USC on Friday, i thought id spend my day Cleaning the car inside and out properly so it doesnt take to long on monday night and friday morning
quick(ish) clean took me 7 hours to do,
Wheels off to clean them and wax them inside and out, and to give the wheel arches a good scrub,
going get some proper drive by videos done in the week or on way to TOA
so ill post them up soon
