So what bhp will it be running on the euro meet Mikey ? And what MPG will you be getting

Hope sucking all that hot air in won't affect your performance

I've just ordered 10 of these electronic superchargers off ebay
That should bring it up to 850 BHP.
With a bit of dry ice in the intercooler it will piss all over Veyrons

Finished the Racelogic Traction control off today.
Set it up on the the PC and went for a blast to calibrate it
Su-bloody-perb works very well with the supercharger!

Fitted the 450g Stainless knob, works well, lots of weight behind the throw, very positive.

Also finished off the race radiator replacement. Single fan now works a treat and us spliced in the existing loom.

I'll post some pics up later, when I've resized them
27k service and MOT tomorrow at the dealers

Due to the $hit weather I spent some more time in the garage today

Pressure washed all the Welsh sheep shit off it including the clumps stuck to the Muz lower brace. That thing really is a clearance issue
303'ed the roof - looks like new now
Replaced the wiper blades - might try those super slim ones next time
Bleed the coolant system a bit more, need to replace the hose to the expansion tank as it is slight too wide for the new radiator
Relocated the fan wiring and got it functioning with the Aircon (after removing the aircon fan )
Used some insulation foam to block the gap at the top of the new radiator as per the OEM one.




Tweaked up the settings on the Alpine XDA , I love this thing, much nicer Ipod interface than my old 9850 (which is still for sale BTW )
Need to tweak the gear leaver gaiter now I have the heavier knob on.



Finally got the traction control unit to stay put with some industrial strenght velcro You can also just see the Green diagnostic LED above.



Sunday I'll have a look for the light knocking sound from the rear (probably all the crap in the spare wheel well ) change the plugs to the one step colder Iridiums and do a compression test, for future reference, whilst they are out.

Might even give it a clay bar and test fit the Amuse bumper

Quick update
started hearing a knocking noise on the right rear, got a bit worried with the Eurohoon looming.
I needed new rears (4.5K off the last set )
So called Event and jacked it up to remove the rears.
Found the locking ring on the Nitrons lose allowing the spring to rattle on extension of the suspension. Sorted that easy enough
Event put me some 255 GSD3's back on after living with the Frenchie Continentals for a while (not bad actually!)
I hate scrubbing new tyres in!
Slip sliding around wondering if they are actually going to settle and be any good.
Two clear days @ the weekend to do a few more tweaks before 3.5k miles round Europe starting next week
