This is the key weakness on any standard Chimaera.
Your engine mapped throughout the Rev range very accurately to the characteristics of your motor is pleasing, somehow I can't ever see myself regretting this decision, money will go somewhere else and disappear so this keeps the car and my money close to my chest 
My car is more than fast enough so I want it to run like a modern car too. I like tinkering but chasing ignition/fuelling issues is something I want to eradicate as its annoying and stupid on a car as good as these

I just wish somebody would've warned me about potential shortcomings with 14CUX ignition control before I started my Supercharger installation

It's fast enough for the road 
Without going the whole hog with a massive bore out or FI then I can't go much further with my girl,
Maybe in the future but it's about time I just drove it about and get to some meets to say hello!
I'll re ferb those wheels of yours soon enough Peter

No extra maps just a really good one!
I've agonised for weeks and eventually bottled it ......
I basically have a hearing issue with my left ear, de cat my ear drum can't take it,,, ear plugs,, I don't think so, so I'm having my standard Y piece fitted, I can hear you all sigh in dis belief
Mapped as a standard car almost!
I still have de cat pipe and might still buy a Clive Y and re map to suit, but I don't really drive that fast so I'd rather enjoy my car and not feel a tit cos it's so loud, my cars never going to be that fast so for the sake of a few horses I'd rather have my car running sweet and a sound I love. The original harmonics are subtle but very good to my ear and that matters cos most the time I'm going slow enough to hear it

glad progress is being made I'll be having all my old bits back Simon, I'll put it all up for sale sometime so if anyone wants a loom, Ecu etc
Sod polishing it Graham I'd just like it all to work for awhile.
I've just polished this to within an inch of its life,,,,, this polishing lark,,, I do enjoy it but it's now so clean I'll not want to ride it if there's a faint cloud in the sky!
Pics a bit naff!
Bikes are my first love, I put to much emphasis on the Tvr to be too many things,,, I love it to bits just like this bike,
I often get stressed over my car especially when it's in bits,,,, not this time, the cars in very safe hands, I'm asking a lot of Dom for the money I've agreed,,, I keep adding stuff to do, he knows I'm a boy from the streets so he's very kind to me. Hint hint
That emplies I'm getting it cheap, for what's being done to this car it's a very reasonable price really, just look at the work that has to be done for the Ecu installation alone

Hopefully this is a better pic, right now ill concentrate on the car.
But before I do I've had this bike half in bits already, tank off, etc, re mounted rear light cluster, adjusted and loctited fairing bolts and an oil with chrome filter change! Added a few bits here and there like oil temp gauge, stone guards shiny choke knob, clock. This is the standard my cars going to have to get to, subtle but cool

What's the state of play with yours Richard.
Yes mate, I think mine will be done this week or there abouts,
I've been quite relaxed about it and the time scale but now that it's all coming together I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel
This really moves our cars on Richard, I'm feeling like I'm getting a new lease of life added to the car and modern systems to keep the engine running sweetly, I've never trusted any of the sensors and always expect one to faulter, that's an extreme view of the Lucus system but with the latest tech kit controlling things I'm a much happier bunny
Yeah that's the same with my bike, it ain't for wet riding I know that much!
Richard I've lived without my car on the road for over a year now, hard hard life : laugh:
I'm sort of used to it now but as soon as the cars back I'll be driving into the night I reckon, just on and on and,,,,,

Once I get mine back I'll have a 1,000 miles at reduced power for running in, I want to get that done in 1 week so I can get remapped after and sorted in time for a little local sprint event at the end of September so I reckon we ought to plan a night drive somewhere.......... just realised that sounds a bit pervy
