I have to agree with Deacon, don't let 1 person spoil it for everyone else here

Original Runduce Varis car for attention. Sporting GTs

The ECUTEK software allows you to feed a 0-5 v signal back into the ECU via rear lambda or CPC inputs, we use this too input oil pressure or fuel pressure then using the powerful RACEROM tools we configure maps to allow low oil pressure to trip a rev limiter if the parameters are below what we want.

ECUtek allows making custom tables to create this kind of features. You would need an analog pressure gauge to be wired in for something like this to be done.
It's a powerful bit of software, toying with the maps is good fun.

2015 GT86 from Oakmere in Northwich now sporting our Resonated CAT Back Exhaust system and H&R Lowering Spring kit as supplied by Tuning Developments.
Nice subtle Castrol livery too 



 
Looking great and now sounding the part too 
 
We have exhaust systems on the shelf ready to go.
 
Cheers

I like what they've done with the boot, awesome work Mike, what about a remap?  

Hi Richard

A bit slow in letting you know but the new gear selector and adjustments have made a difference on gear selection and seem to be smoother than before.
As always great service from the team at Macclesfield.
Thanks.

Ah..I haven't downloaded that part as I wasn't sure I needed it so I will get it and try it again.
Cheers

Just like to make it clear about price for the 20k service
The £299 inc vat is the menu price for the basic cost of the service
Brake fluid pollen filter and diff oil change are extra on top but I include that in the £299

Had my 2nd service done today and as ever a great service !

Thanks

You have an eye for detail Mr Tweedbean, keep it up!

I was unsure whether I liked the wheels or not but I must say it looks fab in these pics, infact the wheels look better without the centre caps 

Tyres working well in the corners and putting the ponies down.
 

 

Had a wicked time in the rain I will admit. The thing is, a wet track like this gives you a great opportunity to play with the handling balance at lower speeds than you would in the dry. Obviously the wet weather is a great leveller as more powerful cars don't have the benefit they usually do. For the pro cars like Adrian and Stan's it is clear that they are only setup to run in the dry and without some decent wet tyres, there was little they could do apart from watch the street legal cars show the way.
 
To be fair to them it's a rare event indeed when it remains wet all day. Normally you'l get at least one dry of slightly damp run in and that is all that matters when it comes to sprinting. 
 
The main issue on Sunday was that there was simply no consistency with regard to grip levels. Just as it looked like the rain was to abate a huge thunderstorm came in which made the track very green afterwards. But, it was hilarious fun and fairly early on I realised it was pointless looking for grip out there, far better just to try and get the car to go as quickly forwards as I could, even if it meant some sideways action which there was plenty of to be fair!

Then a faster drift onto the last corrner, Palmer which was pretty tricky all day!

5th run, smoother but oh so slippery!

Then my first run where I was all over the place!

Hands up I watched the not to

Deposit now transferred to another GT86 coming in at the end of this week, so hopefully I may be able to collect it next week

13 plate
9k on the clock
White
Manual
sat nav
Not sure on interior yet, although I know it's all black as its am20

I haven't even seen a photo of it yet, but as they already hold my deposit due to last weeks fiasco, they moved it to this car and if it isn't as perfect as they described then I can get it refunded. Got a very good deal on the car too so I am really pleased, but I don't want to get too excited just yet in case anything goes wrong before collection like last week.

I will keep you all up to date and once I have the car I will also post up all the details of the issues I have had dealing with a couple of dealerships.

Good write up especially for people looking to buy an 86.

Now sold.
Cheers.

Selling it as I never got round to fitting it.
