Since my last post, the car has had PDT Stage 1 software installed at Storm Developments in Aldermaston, near Reading. (I have written a review, and will post it once they have sent my charts over).
The car feels amazing, having limped in to Tim at Storm with 177bhp and 158 lb/ft torque, and a split old-style diaphragm DV, and left with 240bhp and a REV D DV and 250 lb/ft of torques! The car feels totally transformed, and genuinely quick at all points in the rev range and in all gears, but especially from 30 mph. I am totally in love with my car now, and all previous thoughts of chopping it in for a Mk4 R32 are long gone.
I've also bought a WALK from Bendy, and am hoping to ge this fitted before my driving holiday/romantic-weekend-with-the-Mrs to North Devon next week.
So updated build plan is as follows:
Done
PDT Stage 1 remap
DV Rev D
Change Cam Follower
Pipercross panel filter
Rear arch rust
To Do
WALK (purchased, arrange install)
Brake upgrade (NQSBBK, if this fits under Monza 2's)
Get Mrs (The Kerbinator) in Econo-box
Repair door strips from parking ding damage
A1 Wheel refurb with Aston Martin Lacquer, and gloss black inserts
Colour code bumpers and skirts
Gloss black mirrors and front splitter, and centre of rear bumper, )
New driver's seat cover and foam bolster
RNS 510 Audio / SatNav
Professional detail for bodywork
