Finally got the chance to take the car out this morning and see how she's doing.
Started up first time - nice. Bit of an iffy idle at cold though, glugging and hunting between 700 and 1000rpm. Brakes up to the nonsense again (stiff pedal) which is relieved by a razz of the throttle - strange. Whilst cold the engine wasn't too happy, especially at low revs (sub 2500rpm) but as she warmed up she ran better and smoother. Gave her about 10 minutes to warm up before planting the right foot - and whoosh! Much quicker than before, really noticeable. A bit flat below 2500rpm (still not perfectly happy down there) but once past that point she really takes off. I'd say she feels 20-30bhp quicker than before (factory approved butt dyno). Also feels solid enough to get me to Caley next weekend - famous last words!!
But generally very pleased indeed. Thanks to everyone who made GezTec possible, we have created something special! Could it currently be the fastest D on the mainland?
