Some of you may read the other thread "MAP NEEDED" . Well I\'ve sorted a mappin session out with Geff from Reworx on 21.02.04. There are 4 of us goin down and if we can get 1 more person Geff said he will drop the price to £200 pre motor. This is a very good price for settin up your car and a full power read out. Anyone who is interested please let me know. This will work on a first come first serve basis.
Cheers Jay...:wave
Just so people know, it will be at CPL Racing on their Dyno Dynamics RR; they are based around the Isle of Sheppy I think...
Hi Jay,
I\'m hopefully gonna get my hands on an APEXi shortly and this would be the ideal opportunity to have it mapped.
As I\'m not 100% at this point please put me on the list anyway and I\'ll let you know ASAP.
My hesitation is due to me awaiting some more funds (if I can get some that is)! :rolleyes:
Cheers
Ben
Hi Jay, would love to come on the mapping session but dont think it would be worth it with a slighty slipping clutch! What do you reckon.
Not too sure really.....Could be difficult as the revs will rise and the wheels wont spin straight away therefore makin it hard to setup.Hopefully someone who is a bit more technical than me can answer this a bit better.....
Cheers Jay...:wave
No its not going to be worth it with the clutch slipping. Its likely to be worse on a RR too from my experience.

Thanks for the note 20b,should have put that in but I can a bit stuoid at times:rolleyes:
Cheers jay...:wave

Wasted clutch=waste of money - sorry mate.
Thanks guys, should get it done really, but holding out till i have my single turbo conversion done.
Get your self a twin plate in there and get used to it before u get the single done :) Spreads the cost a bit too :)
Unless yer having internal engine work done of course which means engine out, may as well wait in that case to save a few quids worth of labour.
im getting my apexi this week. is there still a slot available?

Jay - is it your fd thats at DS Engineering for some work at the moment?
There is still a slot available Matt. Ben has preference as he asked first but he is not definate. Hopefully he will let me know soon if he can do it.If he cant the spot is yours mate, should be a good day.
Yes that was my car in DS. Had to have a new clutch and went back to slightly modded standard as my twin was too much aggro and I killed it anyway sittin in traffic. After all that I wont be usin all the time now so could have stayed with a twin but it is nicer to drive on a standard one even if it does only last 6 months.
:rolleyes:
Cheers Jay....:wave
jay - must have just missed you as I picked mine up about 7 - had a quick nose round yours though - hope you don\'t mind :)
ric
thats ok mate, im gonna have to wait to get it mapped now as im gonna buy another car instead
You getting another FD, or getting some thing a bit cheaper to run mate? Details please :)
im still keeping my fd, but im getting a cheap golf gti just to runaround in, and its getting very cold walking home from work now lol
HAha, mustve been fun last night. Quicker than driving though!
yeah it was a lot quicker lol, a bit of a mission though but i didint fall over
Cant beat a Golf Gti Matt thats what I\'ve got as my second car...
Cheers Jay...:wave
Hi Jay, when do you need a definate answer for who\'s going? As I don\'t want you to lose aplace if I can\'t make it.
Ben
Ben just letme know when you can...
Cheers Jay...:wave
Hi Jay... Bad news... I had a big spin out in the wet - did 180 and ended up in the currb, really f\'d up my rear wheel and arm/bits so it\'s off the road (couldn\'t even drive it home)!
So I don\'t think I\'ll be having my car mapped for awhile...
Ben (not too happy at the mo)
:(
Didnt i scare u with my stories of me going sideways and stuff?
I fecked up my bumper so the Essex boys arent having a good weekend. What actually happened?
Jay
I am gonna need to check my clutch, i have a sports clutch and not being overly familiar with them i want to make sure its working properly as it kind of make a grinding/wiring noise occasionally when i pull away. I will let u know asap.
Jay,
I\'m still up for this - who else is confirmed?
Thanks
Kevin
Ben sorry to hear about your mishap.These motors can certainly be a handfull.....
Confirmed for this trip are myself,Leigh you Kevin and hopefully Grahame if his clutch is ok. Will contact each of you nearer the time to possibly arrange a meetin place to drive down together....
Cheers Jay...:wave
Dont know where the reply i posted has gone............
Sorry to hear about your mishap Ben, these motors can really bite......
Confirmed for the session are myself,Leigh,Kevin and hopefully Grahame.I believe Geff said a guy he knows also wants to make it so hopefully we will grt the good price.I will contact you all next week to arrange a meet on the way.
Cheers Jay....:wave
Thanks for the sympathy Jay, I should have my motor back on Tuesday - what timing!! Just in time for the meet in Dartford!
I\'ll have to see if I can afford the re-map ... hmmm... I don\'t think so!!
Plus I still need an APEXi, is it right they up the fuelling when you have other aftermarket parts fitted? Or does it just do what you tell it!
Fetch boy!! and that sorta thing.
Ben
Do you ever get that feelin you done something before.....:rolleyes:
As far as I know ben the Apexi will adjust your fuellin to suit what you are runnin assuming it is still a twin.I was hopin to make the meet on tuesday but have been told by my girlfriend that as its my birthday I\'m not allowed as she wants to take me out..Maybe next time.
Cheers Jay...:wave
"Apexi will adjust your fuellin to suit what you are runnin"
If only - you need to map it to your car and mods. The map that comes with it runs rich and assumes a couple of mods, think they are intake and exhaust. Also be aware that mechanically identical cars can behave differently.
Kevin
Shows what some people know......wont listen to some people again. Thanks for the correction Kevin,next time I\'ll just shut up;)
Cheers Jay.....:wave
Aha... I see! So getting it mapped could save on fuel?? Over a ten year period it could pay for itself!!:p
I\'m still after one, even without the controller and map just so I know my cars not gonna go boom. I\'d rather fork out for petrol than a rebuild.
Happy Birthday mate BTW!! How old are you this year eh? Shame you can\'t make the meet... I\'m gonna pop down, now that I finally got me car back even tho it\'s on temporary 16s (cheers Lee :D ).
Ben
No worries Jay, I am no expert. You can download the Apexi Power FC and Commander manuals from //www.apexi-usa.com.
I expect that Geff will hook up a laptop to the Apexi PFC and modify your current map using third party software (Datalogit). It is supposed to be much easier than via the commander.
I am currently running Apexi on a stock setup so I expect mine is far too rich at the moment and a little down on power, hopefully I will get that sorted and maybe better fuel consumption, currently averaging about 17 mpg.
Kevin

Hiya Jay was just wondering if the rolling road session was still on for next Saturday, any confermation on numbers going. I will pop in too Reworx this week and speak too Geff regards how too get there times etc should see you there best regards Leigh.
Gonna ring geff on monday to see what time we need to be there on Sat.I believe there are 5 of us goin down there.Will post details on Monday night.Really lookin forward to this should be good to see some RX\'son the rollers.
Cheers Jay...:wave
I will be coming as my clutch seems fine - if it is on its way out its not slipping.
Any details on getting down there yet?
See Jays other thread bud.
Who\'s booked up then? I think Geff has two non-MRC guys arranged, an old guy and Joel with a single turbo; who else? Make sure every ones booked up with Geff cause its a long way to haul and not get on the rollers!
Good to hear you are comin Grahame. Spoke to geff this morning to arrange details. He would like us to be there for 8.30am. I believe CPL Racing where we are goin is on the Isle Of Sheppy, I will get the address tommorrow and post it.Where are you in Essex in Grahame,might be an idea to meet up on the way? I \'m gonna meet one of the other fellas Joel on the way so if you fancy it let me know,perhaps the Lakeside services on the M25?
Also if you want to pay by plastic give Geff a call before and he will sort it out for you.
Cheers Jay...:wave
Whats Geoffs number?
I\'m North Essex - so i will be doing the M11 - M25 so name a place and i\'ll be there.

Thanks to Scooby Si for that.

07.45 thats fine, why did i think we were going to Portsmouth? i must of been dreaming again.
Do you want to PM me your mobile incase of delays etc.
Phoned Geff and as long as my credit card works i\'m all set. He did suggest making sure my spark plugs were in a reasonable state.
They dont change speedos go they???
Geff did say make sure spark plugs were in good order and to check oil and water.
Leigh I take it you are goin to meet us there?
Cheers Jay...:wave
For detailed directions to CPL, follow the following link. Go to the forum and follow the link to the CPL specific board. Directions are top post, IIRC. I\'ll see you guys at 07:45 at Lakeside (groan).

Do Geff a favour guys, check water and oil before you turn up on saturday and if yer cars not performing 100% as it should do i.e. boost leaks/problems, the smallist of eletrical issues, whatever - let him know in advance. It saves discovering them on the rollers and wasting a couple of hours for every one...
And bring some cash for the greasy spoon down the road! :)
Thanks for the advice Rich. Been in contact with the guys at Banzai about poppin down to do a bit of tech feature on mappin. Not sure whats happenin yet will keep you all updated. If they do decide to come along it should be quite cool.
Cheers Jay.... :wave
Cool, just speak to Geff and Guy (CPL) beforehand just to make sure its gonna b good for Banzai; its not the biggest place and with a few cars to do it only takes one problem motor and the day starts disappearing quickly - not ideal if you have a camera to perform for too ;-) Cant knock free advertising though I guess!
Banzai would be cool - did u email them or actually speak to them?
I\'ve let Geff know about my problems with boost etc and i\'m getting my plugs changed tomorrow.
Spoke to Joe at Banzai (deputy Editor) and he said he would have love to come down but its a bit short notice and he wont be in the country anyway. But..............what he would like me to do is get some good photos and some sort of write up and info he has said he will turn it into a 2 page article.
Problem is I dont even own a digital camera let alone know how to use one. So I need some help here guys, anyone any good with a camera.Basically the photos are what will make the feature as the write up will be written by Joe just directed by what we give him.Emphasis on WE as any help will be gratefully received. Basically this is a great chance to get your motor in the mag a bit advertising for Geff and CPLand Joe has said this is just the sort of tech stuff he wants. Please get in contact with me to see what we can do.
Cheers Jay....:wave
I have a camera - Kodak 3.2 Million pixel one. I\'ll bring mine unless anyone has a better one.
Hi Jay, was wondering if I could pop down on Sat with my FD to take a look at ya motors and the garage? Wasn\'t sure how it\'ll be for space.
Let me know.
Does Geff have any new S/H Power FC\'s off the shelf? As I\'m quite eager to get one now!! If not - no worry\'s I can always pop down another saturday as I\'m in Essex which isn\'t far.
Ben :wave
I\'ve got a large BB gun, I could bring that and do a few shots! :rollin
Ben
Nice one Grahame. Ben I will speak to Geff to see if there will be enough space and I\'ll ask him what he has in stock mate.
Cheers Jay....:wave
Thanks for that I\'ll check back tomorrow.
Ben :D
Spoke to Geff today and unfortunately Ben he doesnt have any available, as for poppin down he said space should not be a problem,see you there...
Cheers Jay...:wave
Doh! and Yay! all in one!!! :p
Thurrock services at 7:45 you say! Damn that\'s early for a saturday........ I\'m sure I get up tho - no worrys!
See you down the services:wave
Ben

He might not have any today but he\'ll have more in a week or two as I saw the P.O. the other day ;-)
I may be takin the p---- here but is there any chance one of you guys that I\'m meetin at lakeside might be able too clear a bit of boot space so I could stick an alloy in there as I\'m meetin the guy who has bought mine of me and when I stick it on the passenger seat I cant see a bloody thing? No worries if you cant i just thought I\'d ask.
Cheers Jay....:wave
Yep
Any idea what he\'s asking for an Apexi with/without commander and new or S/H??
Ha haa.. Gman you just beat me on the boot space offer!!
Ben:rollin
Jay, you taking the White rotary monster in your avatar on Sat? It doesn\'t look very road legal!:p
Ben
Nice one Graham. I wish Iwas goin in that white one Ben.......Probably not as quick as my FD;)
Cheers Jay....:wave
Just wondered any of you guys I\'m meetin at lakeside know how to get there or printed the directions off? Would do it myself but dont have a printer wired upto laptop...
Cheers Jay....:wave
My printers bust - sorry.
Never actually pulled in to thurrock services - do u take the lakeside exit just before the bridge?
No worries Grahame. Looks like I\'ll sit here and write them out. What a friday night......... I swear I used to have a social life....
Cheers Jay...:wave
Hmmm.. that sounds like the bit I was thinking of Graham. My numbers 07905 225658 gimme a ring or text if you or anyone else has a prob. I\'ll be there on the dot of 7:45am depending on the traffic.
Ben
Take the lakeside exit before the bridge and as you come upto the roundabout go straight over I believe it saya services and you then run parallel to m25 for a bit and then on the left you see services pull in and go round to services and not petrol station. Should be easy to spot each other........ See you in the morning any probs give me a call.07932011888
Cheers Jay....:wave
Thanks mate it\'s where I thought you meant!;)
Ben
Probably see you guys late morning/early afternoon, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (never!) :)
