Then you should be fine :D

Oh yes... Now it all comes out... :hurr:


;) :lol:

But... If that's what they're suspecting/re-testing to dis-prove, then the only way they'll know you haven't had the car re-mapped since the last dyno, is to put it back on the same dyno you had it on originally (and since they've now sealed the ecu and diagnostic ports) to see if the figures come out the same. If they go and stick it on a different dyno this time, it proves nothing? :?

Wow, great result mate!

Pity I left before the final round now :( just couldn't take the cold any more :lol:

Fair to say that all the top guys would have been running wet tyres too! With your Rainsports on you may wll have taken some Pro scalps :o

6 seconds faster than an M3 CSL :shock: :twisted:

Great result considering the on track weather conditions and the off track drama.

Well done Al!
