Woo, late night.. dropped Steve from FC Tuning off at about 00:30 this morning (just after he bought a pizza that filled my car with yummy pizza smell!!) after my mapping and dyno session.

It really is a great experience seeing both street tuning and dyno tuning, I’ll happily admit I need to learn A LOT more about fuel maps, AFR’s, actuator preloads etc. Every car is different, every car needs a slightly different map, so that is why I opted for one of Steve’s Nistune units.

My 13 went for an alignment set up today, because I’ve fitted coilovers and adjustable arms it was all done by guess work and eye… badly…
Having just put a new pair of falkens on the front I didn’t want to eat through them within miles, so I booked myself in with TTS Roadsport while they advertise as VAG (VW & Audi) specialists they are quite happy to take on other work.

This past week I’ve been in Bruges…
Bruges is a small city in Belgium, it’s incredibly pictureque and is famous for its chocolate and real ale (amongst other things).

When out and about I’m constantly on the lookout for 200s but I never expected to stumble across a 200 in the streets of Bruges!

Now the SX has been on the road for a little bit it was time to get it checked over, so this evening I headed over to Steve @ FC Tuning.
When I arrived (late!!) Steve hooked up the wideband and det detector to the car, I was there to have a general check over and set up the AVCR. The car was running about 10psi on actuator boost, but with my set up I should be running about 18psi.
