Loxy's silver FN2 GT - J's Braces

I really was just hoping that bit would be easy and have been sort of ignoring that bit until now.! :lol:

I'm thinking it requires taking the plastic covers off that cover the top of the wings under the bonnet?

It doesn't say to remove that trim in the handbook but it certainly helps, even then it's a nightmare, took me about 45 minutes to get the pipe back on :x :x It may help to remove the battery.....

Cheers, I'll try not to as I do have small hands but at least I know it might help if I get stuck. :smt023

Edit:

Battery is out! :lol:

Just having a brew. Already cut my hand on the sharp edge on the inside of the wing...

Done!! Not at all that difficult to do, but did take me two hours, a bit of bleeding and a bit of swearing etc...

Pitiful standard lights before:

I think I'm just going to run the Group N map for now, I've melted the plastic a bit on my last two purchases so mapping might have to wait until early next year... :rolleyes:
 
^That's understandable - LOL.

How much are the Flashpro's up for these days?

To be taken with a pinch of salt, I know - but given the mods that you have, do you have any idea of what you're hoping to make power-wise?

I bought it for £490, cheapest I have seen one go for recently is £450 but that thread lasted approximately 20 minutes. New they are £540ish depending where you go, but all you do is plug it into the ODB port then it goes back in the box when the work is done so they are always like new.

This chap has similar, except HKS exhaust and the Mugen intake is supposed to be a beast: Click me and the RRC.

So if I make 215bhp I will be happy. Major gains will be in the midrange though.

Oh and just got off the phone from Sumo Power. Bare in mind that they took the cash from me on Monday 30th August, I will not be getting the HKS RSK until at least the start of next week as they are on back order. I won't be using them again and I don't know why I didn't just cancel the order there and then... :rolleyes:

Yeah, it will feel like 250bhp though.

When I had my first map done at ARTech with my Spoon bits I hit 215bhp but with the extra torque it flew was well worth the bunce.

You will notice the extra power in 3rd and 4th mate.
