Rolling Road Meet @ JKM - October 16th - Final List....

[RedRobin]

Uh oh, he's on the slippery slope, someone find some spiky shoes quickly!

....I noticed he had something on his roof. Perhaps so he can turn his car upside down and ski faster down the slippery slope

Gone through pics and videos, we have some good stuff  

Some pics up first!

Chungster's super-clean Scirocco R:


Graphite Blue GTI


The Modfather himself, Robin! (I'm very pleased with how this pic turned out Rob!)


Now for some rollers! I modified the pic of Robin's car to make the red very vibrant, means the colour balance is all wrong though  


And some more!




My baby!


LED DRLs looking mean on chungster's .:R


WhiteGTI's not-white not-GTI


Couple more to go up, probably tomorrow. Then video editing time!
Hires of pics is available here!

Great pics, Neo!

Particularly cool angle on the rollers and I love that one of mine.

[btw, I sent you a PM yesterday]

That blue one is Graphite Blue. There was a Shadow Blue one there as well, but that ain't it.

Great photos Neo!

Top stuff Neo cheers.

Look forward to seeing the vids

I'm no expert on these things, just that I was talking to the owner!

Well, im gutted to say, i have refound my lost power, been for a quick spin, and all is well.So still dont know what she runs at stage 2!!!!.

Just goes to show, as someone pointed out to me, its what your used too,and you think that nothing is wrong.

If only id cleared the fault codes yesturday, and re-tried installing bluefin, i maywell of had a 2nd run to crack 290+.

The mystery of how the map disapeared, i cannot fathom.

Had you disconnected your battery?  Or had a flat?  Or removed a fuse?

The Revo maps all revert to stock if the batt has been disconnected - maybe the tin of tuna Bluefin does something similar?  Anything on their website, or that Kate can advise?

[Hedge]

No Blufin is unaffected if you disconnect the battery.

[Teutonic_Tamer]

No Blufin is unaffected if you disconnect the battery.

That's that theory urinated on then . . . 

[Saint Steve]

^^that  thought entered my mind about the Battery being disconnected when i had my Xenons fitted By Stokeballon back in May/June, but Mr Hedge said that with Bluefin , what he just replied to you shaun.

I must of been running stock power for at least 2 months, i know Sparky craigs R32 was tested down the sliproad on route to a meet, in which the R was disbatched like it had no 2nd gear. So must of been working then.

Im totally perplexed, as it said Bluefin was Installed when i checked it at JKM on the RR day? so wasnt my error of leaving Stock software on the car?

Don't wish to argue with Mr Hedge - but all modern ECUs (especially 'adaptive' ECUs) will revert back to a default setting.  Same goes for when a crash sensor is triggered (which basically disconnects the battery).  But I don't know how the Bluefin works . . . .

One other issue which has just sprung in my grey matter - could your ECU have been zapped by a virus?  Sounds a long shot - but I specifically remembering one teams cars in the BTCC a few years back - where their ECUs were corrupted by a virus - it took them about three months to discover!

Im totally perplexed, as it said Bluefin was Installed when i checked it at JKM on the RR day? so wasnt my error of leaving Stock software on the car?

Could the Bluefin somehow leave a 'ghost' imprint in the ECU - even when it is disabled?  I know Revo add some sneaky code, which can potentially lock out other tuners maps . . .

[Hedge]

You can argue with me if you want Sean but you'd be wrong. I had the battery off mine whilst mapped and all was fine.

As you are so fond of saying it's not the same as Revo.

[vRStu]

Sean the issue with the REVO reverting back to base settings is limited to REVO (AFAIK) and is caused because REVO use different areas of memory to store the map and it's settings.

This is also borne out by the fact that if you had REVO or a REVO trial you will need a stock flash before being mapped by anyone else.
