well yesterday i made the trip to Statllers in sheffield for my Revo stage 2 update!!  :smiley:



got there for lunchtime and met up with Steve, had a quick chat through what was to be done, verified the car with revo and we got cracking! steve download the relevant files plugged it into the car and started updating!

With the car update Steve then set on with updating my sps switch, i now have the below settings:

Performance A: B6 T2 F8
Performance B: B7 T4 F7
Performance C: B8 T5 F6

With all the revo things seen to Steve quickly changed my cam follower for me and pulled out a good cam follower, now i don't have receipt in my files for it being replaced so could be the original? but for £20 its now changed.

i went for linear throttle and so glad i did! anyone who hasnt tried it i guarantee youll love it or at least i do!  :happy2:

I drove home on performance setting B and good god the car goes now  :driver: it has no hesitations it just bloody pulls and pulls hard at that! the traction control light hardly comes on now and the power is so usable!

SOOOO......all in all i had a good day at Statllers and would defo recommend them! had some good banter with Steve, good quality organised workshop and very reasonably priced! ill defo be going back  :happy2:




Looking great. Could you take some pics of your rear wheels for me, looking down the wing and down towards the floor? I just want to compare my wheels with yours and how much they stick out!

Nice car you got there matey. I was talking to you about your cf wings. Glad your pleased with it. Steve really is a top guy. Would have been nice to see some dyno figures though but he's a man down at the mo. :happy2:

Cost me around the £500 mark without new pads and discs but that was my choice!

Will did map it the first time round, he is no longer a revo agent, he's dropped them due to bad customer service. That's the only reason I didn't go back! Statllers did the stage 2 update, installed linear throttle and setup my sps  :happy2:

Mine are the NQSBBK kit, parts bought through daveb off the forum, they use the standard 312mm ed30 discs. There are bigger kits available like a 330mm kit. Have a search, I'm sure you'll find some useful info
