[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 47873, member: 264"] [u][b]Trip to RS Tuning[/b][/u] Paul wasn't too happy when he asked what fuel I was running and I said 95. Most of the cars he maps are on a minimum of 97, more often ultimate something or other. My reasoning being, there wasn't much point putting in a tank of good stuff especialy for mapping, as many of our remote garages only have 95 avaliable. The car has always been a bit flat and hesitant low down in the rev range, which Paul picked up on straight way and managed to get another 24lb/ft straight away, with 32lb/ft on the final tweek, which is 40% up :D [img]https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6006/5984159864_b8f3e8c39f_b_d.jpg[/img] It's not a huge increase in power overall, but it is certainly nicer to drive, which counts for more than top end figures To highlite the reason for running 95 petrol, heres a pic of my overnight hotel whilst on the way back :lol: [img]https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/5984181194_3236605fce_b_d.jpg[/img] I had decided to do the tourist route up from Stirling, but then realised all the petrol stations were closed.
