It's running over 300lb/ft of torque already

Clutch won't last long I'm afraid  :wink:

A few reasons, I like the anti theft feature on the SPS box, much more effcient to use than the Bluefin handset. Also my car has always been running rich on the Bluefin map but they never seemed interested in correcting it in any way and kept telling me it was perfectly normal. The fact that Revo were doing 30% off maps kind of twisted my arm. If my clutch does start to go then I will upgrade it but hopefully that doesnt happen too soon.

I'm lucky to get 269 bhp on a good day (on JKM's rollers) and I'm Revo Stage 2 with Milltek and Twintake like you.  :surprised:

Robin you could get your settings turned up (still maintaining 100+bhp headroom) and get a sensible 260-270bhp all day long

IIRC you said yours was watered down??

Romany - great result for the mods! Just shows with the right set up, the K03 can be right up there with the stg1 K04's  :happy2:

Kind of. Mandy keeps telling me I should save for a newer car as the Ed30s are getting older now plus I havent really had my car that long, I do think the Ed30s are great cars though.

I decided that I had had enough of black wheels for now and fancied a change. So the Detroits had to go, I went for a set of BBS VZs in silver to replace them:

Did you get that APR hpfp, Romany?

If so, installed in time for JKM's rollers?
