I would just like to say thanks to (type ra ) forum and associated people , for me to do what i have done to the car in the past few months with out help would have been imposable , so much to learn . Will keep the the forum updated with my progress.
Ralph put me in touch with the jolly green monster (simon) who has mapped the car today and has done wonders , from 240 bhp to over 300 is a big step for a novice anyway thanks again and will add some photos soon.

Great news Gareth!
You will be well into the top of the class with that set up (pretty much perfect for Loton Park) :cool:
My car is at the "doctors", as the actuator bar connected to the wastegate came off in spectacular fashion on Friday :confused:
Looking forward to seeing you in ACTION.

Hi Richard ,
Sorry to hear about your car, hope it gets well soon , as far as been well up in class the problem is the nut holding the steering wheel , with only a little experience i think the top 4 are safe . looking forward to seeing you in April to.

Hi ,just had 2 very constructive practice days at loton park , we were blessed with the weather as we had everything from a dry track to little round ice balls (hail) . The car ran fault free all weekend and all the mods really paid off by lowering my best time by 2 seconds,
the most exciting run was in the wet , drifting the car was so much fun (big smile on my face all day)
Looking forward to the 5th and 6th .
very short video .
