Finally, tuned.

Just rang to see if my car is ready after the tune, and they said all is good and it's putting out a lil' under 190rwkw (at least I assume it is rwkw). Anyway, the important thing for me is that I've finally got it tuned, so I can have some confidence in it not breaking down because of bad tuning. :D

Took a while, but finally.
Oz.

Power/Boost Issue Fixed (short version)

Just got a few secs to do this post, so here is the short version.

CAT had melted down and was thereby blocking up the exhaust. This has now been sorted (details later).

Also, turns out they had a spot available for a dyno tune tomoz, so the car is now staying over night and gettting that done tomoz.

But apparently all is going good, and it's running 14 psi no worries. I'm excited. :D

Failed Attempt

Saturday night I thought I'd attempt to check my catalytic converter to see if it was the cause of my low boost. Jacked up the car, put it on stands and then proceeded to battle with the bolts that attach the exhaust. Eventually got the set of three at the rear off, then proceeded to do the same with the set of three at the front.

First thing I noticed was that they were a different size bolt for some reason, so had to get another spanner and socket. Well, got the first two off without too much grief, but then the last one I fought with for about 15 minutes (I guess) before ceeding defeat. Basically the position of it was so awkward that I couldn't get enough leverage on it to undo it.

Anyway, not to worry, as two more days until it makes another visit to the shop for them to determine what is wrong with it.

Oh yeah, and the second FACTOR M was on Friday night with a good turnout of ppl and rotas. Photos are over at the REACT gallery.
