Got someone coming to see the cerb tomorrow so I plugged the laptop in to check adaptives were all good. After taking the bulkhead cover off and having a good look see - don't know what made me do it but I checked the max t pot reading . . . and notice the lock nut for the near side bank was hitting an air box bolt head and not going to the full throttle stop!

Hmmm - bit of mechanical adjustment *ahem* and it now clears it and gains additional travel - probably about 7mm. the mechanical adjustment threw the balance out so I started from scratch and got adaptives down to between -3 and -10 at idle then took it for a spin.

Wasn't expecting a great deal extra but JESUS H CHRIST!! It has never, ever been that quick - not after Taylor TVR, not after APM - not never!!!

Not so happy from cold now so needs a tad of fine tuning (what a stupid time to do this, lol!) but my god, that thing is mightily impressive!!

Put it all back as was, wind the nut out further to make the car slower, with any luck the chap wont be impressed and then refuse to buy it. Job done wink

This is just some convoluted salespitch via PH, you cunning devil.

We all know you've just whapped some Tesco 99RON in there along with 3L of octane booster + unplugged the aircon and alt to make it seem really punchy.

I'm onto you.
