That jolly nice chap Mark Adams has just worked his magic on my Griff 500 and the beast is much improved. Throttle response is lightning and it goes like greased weasel poo. Yippee.

Only one fly in the ointment for me......230BHP yes thats right my car has only 230BHP at the fly wheel!! Only one third down then. There has to be an explanation for it. Well it still outstrips my mates 996 so I'm not too bothered its just a shame.

Mark it is me with the GGT (Goping Green Thing) and I have to say your magic touch has transformed the car into a smooth beast, if ever there was one.
Your dedication to the cause is admirable but the idle when cold is down to nothing more than a misaligned housing for the stepper valve. Bye the way it doesn't hunt when cold anymore it just settles at the warm idle speed.
Oh and the guy with me on Friday has just bought a 4.0 HC Chimp so I thing you may have some more work (not that you need it!).
One last thing did you sort that gas/petrol disco out we are dying to know.
