Why thank ya,

Have to lay off the burgers tho, doesn't do the power 2 weight ratio any good!.

Was using the road as a bit of a test run for the Mega jolt ignition, hence the laptop if you saw, tried our best to update it on the run but it aint easy with a touchpad and shaking screen at 70mph!

Was some really nice cars blasting up and down Clio v6's, cossies, Type R's Jags all sorts must be more than us that likes opening er up on there. we'll ave em next time!

Only been running the car with Megajolt for the last 2 days and it does take quite a bit of learning.
And unless you can set the timing wheel and sensor in relation to TDC exactly as it should be base maps from others appear useless!(other than a very rough guide to start from) but all in all about 2hrs spent and were now gettin pretty happy with it.

Are you running Webers with it?
Are you using MAP or Throttle pot?

Cheers

Yup running Webber twin 40's with god knows what jets in them, and using the MAP sensor as its the only true indication of load.
The Vaccume is connected into each manifold and then reduced 4-2-1 into the megajolt.

Started with a 2D map and then started to introduce the load factor into things.

You didn't see a blue Locost did you? I saw a Yellow 7 on the A650 today (Sunday) or was it Saturday?

Oops can't say i saw a blue Locost but then again i probably had my head in a laptop at the time! me dad might have done although we had plenty of toots of the horn as usual, and yes it was sunday so probably was us ya saw.

Wing Mirrors

If you don't mind me asking what are your wing mirrors off and where did you get them, I need some just like that.

From what I can remember they were from a 600cc Honda, possibly a Fireblade or or similar model.
They are practically the same as the 900cc fireblade mirrors only they don't have the rubber cover and are slightly smaller,
probably marginal for the SVA although it did pass with them on.
