[WR1 Bro]

Now that turns me on!

[presa900]

[danr55]

Just love a clean engine bay

[zimmerman]

about time you told us what some of those lovely shiny things do

Right, the shiney bits - that big silver bit at the back & the big tubey red thingy on the left make it suck like a $100 whore. the yellow thing (front right) is an Optima deep cycle battery - advertised as being good for wheel chairs & tractors. I think it helps the Genesis Series 3 5 channel amp in the boot, at least the lights don`t dim when I turn the radio (The Archers) on.
The rest, I`m not sure - I think they are just shiney bits.
Coming soon.......... Full Carbon Fibre automatic folding wing mirrors & brackets

Looks STUNNING!

Puts me to shame dramatically

Yes, this has inspired me to get in the engine bay after a little safety instruction from Marky Mark.

Yes Bro,
I had it remapped at WRC Tech in March when they fitted that big silver bit at the back & that red thingy at the side. They also fitted an Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller.
Well something is not right, its nowhere near as fast as it should be & its not smooth when cruising at illegal speeds!
I suspect the boost controller but I`ll let the guy who is going to remap it - Pat Herborn I think- decide. He does it on the road with you driving so its mapped to suit your particular (or peculiar) style

Did you tell WRC of the problem, if so what the reply ?
Let us know how the mapping goes

[zimmerman]

Imposter, I`d love to tell them & get them to sort it, but sadly they are in liquidation

Well, I had it completely remapped on Monday, Pat was horrified at the mapping I had done in March, he said I was lucky to still have an engine!
I had Det. & compressor surge. The Ignition timing was incomplete, it was overboosting & more that I didn`t understand.
The Apexi AVC-R was not set properly either.
After 2 1/2 hours on the road with Pat mapping it`s now sorted, its just as quick but now I don`t have all the nastys I had before.
Its a shame that WRC have gone, I`d like to hear their response to this

Scary stuff From memory, Alan does have an ID here so it's possible to PM him and enquire about the cause.
