The dyno run I have in my profile was with one of your chips in place, sadly I have no 'without' comparison to go with itnucleustylzlude wrote:Still can't believe NO-ONE has Dyno'd any of the chips - at all. £10 sterling pounds to the first person - about a third/quarter of the dyno price probably.

Nick, revised suspension settings I'm using are 100% front, 75% rear. Be keen to hear how that works out for you

I know bud. I meant a back to back comparison, before and after. Just weird how many I've sold and no-one actually wants to see a base power and after. Appreciate it's money at the end of the day, but if you've got plans for performance mods a base run should be first on the cards IMO.indigolemon wrote:The dyno run I have in my profile was with one of your chips in place, sadly I have no 'without' comparison to go with itnucleustylzlude wrote:Still can't believe NO-ONE has Dyno'd any of the chips - at all. £10 sterling pounds to the first person - about a third/quarter of the dyno price probably.![]()
I now have V1, 2, 3 & 4 in my possession and no way to test them myself - no JDM lude, well no lude actually working!

Sorry to clog up your profile vanzep. Let me know if your's does have a higher rev limit, be interesting to see if you have anything special hidden away too. V5 perhaps!

Re: My "New" BB4
cheers for the comments guys
the rear lip is wing west and i do like it
sorry Merc its not for sale...i think Nathan has the same so you could try him - i wanted his sideskirts but he wanted a million quid for them - so that was a no go.
not sure what to do with the paint - but im sorry to say it gets a fair share of unwanted attention from vandals and stupid drivers in supermarkets car parks so im in no rush to splash the cash...was all milano red when i got it but it got keyed right down one side within 2 weeks of me buying it.
Rob i will drop you a pm on the chip.
Graham - thanks for the info on the settings for the koni shocks - i just fitted them and havent looked at the settings as yet.
Ive made a commitment to go out on track this summer but i wont be looking to post any record breaking times as the lude is my daily drive and i plan to keep it
