Superb powers, and yes, they look the shiz with the stripes. I'm considering them on mine to break up the murderer look!

Oh, and on that subject I've had it since Monday, it's fricking hilariously brilliant. I 'accidentally' had it sideways on a diesel spill within the first 5 minutes and thankfully it is very progressive... although I wad hoping to get used to it before finding that out - oops!

Little update..

Had the car down @ DMS on Friday afternoon to give it's ECU a little tickle here and there. Choose DMS for a number of reasons, main one being that i've yet to here a bad word against them (including customers from all over the world who have payed for Rob to travel over to them  :surprised:) and know a lot of people who have dealt with them and been more than happy. Plus after meeting Rob when he came and did my Dad's X5 the other week, I spoke with him in depth about my car and after listening to his extensive knowledge the decision was made.
It was a long drive to their premises in Southampton. but i'm soooo glad I went. The machinery this guys deals with is simply  :drool: Ranging from cars like mine to all AMG Mercs, BMW's and just about every Porsche you can think of including a 868bhp Porsche GT2 . He is also trying to persuade one of his mates/customers to buy a Veyron so he can bring it upto Supersport spec..  :party:
Some snaps from outside his premises and you'll notice his next door neighbour deals with some half decent stuff too..  :drool:







Anyway, after the ECU was out and flashed, she was put on the rollers to see what difference it made...



The car was RR'd at Dave's (PDT) the other week when standard and we were running thin on time with me having to get home, so didn't do a 'before' run. But once done the results were as follows..

Standard..



Mapped..



Car feels much much stronger and the difference seems a lot more noticable than when I had my LCR and Ed30 first mapped (they may of taken longer to adapt though)..

So all in all a very happy customer  :smiley: Now to see what she'll do @ Pod when I decide to run her..  :evilgrin:

Get it done Neil, you know you want to..? I can't recommend Rob enough though seriously. Such a nice chap too and I got on with him really well. Only downside was, we both spoke that much, he took him ages to do anything..  :signLOL:

Now I bet that feels like a nice shove in the back Ben :happy2:

380lbft should be more than adequate too :driver:

Like Steve says, how does she feel in comparison to the Eddy?
