*Wee Update..
Crickey, been nearly a month again already.. :-o
Not much to add yet really, as ive been mainly planning/sorting stuff for getting the car complete.
Pic missing from last update was that the interior went back into the car, prepping it slowly for MOT...

Been accumilating parts (over last few years tbh!) to sort the fuelling setup..

Because im having these parts fitted for me, by the place thats mapping the car on this occasion, this sorting/planning im on about is laying out/arranging the parts to make sure it'll all go together successfully.
Ive had many a question along the way though lol; like reguarding the pump ; is it possible its spec./ delivery may not suit my application..? Could it be too powerful..? Can such a thing be the case? lol
Anyway, ultimately itll speed things up as with no lockup anymore or bottles of enthusiasm left - plus the mapper being based there too so it sounds a nice easy drive in drive out gig.
Lastly for now i MOT'd it on saturday, was good to drive it about a bit again- but the need for mapping is too great to ignore and enjoy the car properly lol. So just some tax to sort then once the planning mentioned above all agrees i shall book it in. Next week or 2 hopefully.
In the meantime ill have to go PV in the vectra again lol.

Looking good mate..
So come on, where you planning on getting the work done/mapped?

It is looking like going to MEK. Dave says the chaps next door can do the fuel pipe work. Then he will map it. Itll need trailering as its not exactly down the road, but its not too far away.

shifter looks awesome dave! It's really moving on now! :)

Good choice mate, you wont regret it.

Your on MBE management aren't you Dave.
Thinking of taking mine to Mikeanics in Congleton I think they are.
It's who Toovey uses for rollers & who SBD recommend for our area.
Thinking of booking mine in for next few weeks.
-
Yes MBE and yeah have heard of them, wasnt aware of such a recommendation though..
You just looking for tweeks to yours then, since the dyno..?
If i have any jip with the MEK gig, then at least theres a more than useful alternative..
-
Yea just a few tweaks.
Seems to be running fine but when I was at Toovey's before it came of the road last year he advised I get it on the rollers now it's installed & on my exhausts etc just for the final settings.
Should only need a couple of runs as it wont be far out.
Who & where is this one your off too?

On this occasion its just to get the car running right; 1st time mapping.
I was going to use tracknroad in rainham; as theyve done all 3 of the converted z18xe's that i know about. However ill probably go there for the second, more proper map; once the cams and verniers and bigger exhaust system has been fitted and a few miles on the clock first.
