[Tutuur]

Never ending problems with ignition caused me not to go to a rolling road to fiddle with the mapping. Testing top speed wothout monitoring anything didn't turn out to be a good idea :D

Did manage to put 150 on the gps though before blue smoke came out of the exhaust. Don't worry though, it'll be at FCS/ND :cool:

[Nottswoody]

I have a plan :wasntme: will do all I can if not I will be there in something else :)

when your over for the FCS arthur do your self a favour take your car to scoffs and get it mapped properly:smokin:

[Tutuur]

I'm confident i can do it myself, problem just is i've been having all those problems with the fooking ignition! It really pisses me off, everything i make seems not to work as it's designed for while everyone else doesn't have problems.

Same with the tacho output, i've set up everything as it should, checked everything over and over again and it just doesn't work....
