All great things have a beginning

Pip at Wgt ( new name now unsure what it is).Gonna be your mapping guru for the Adaptronic...Clives winning formula has been pips mapping...(and my loom ).

Jon's right, Pip knows I put much of the cars success and reliability down to the map he built for the car. (obviously not forgetting the excellent Jon Race Loom )  Blimey he found  huge 50BHP  just with a map re-tweek last time up there  .

Amusingly a little Citroën  thingy was on after me. My screen was still up and he joked with the guy that he had just found more BHP with a little tweek than the little  Citroën had in total 

Pips number these days is 07774 442618

I will need to get an adaptronic ecu first.

I'm thinking that when we're allowed back to work of sending the car to pip to get it all running. There's some stuff I cannot do myself and better off someone that knows these things to do them right in the first place

Just found some fd plates on ebay, 750 squids. Think I might start collecting spares lol

If your looking for plates, it may help to know I have a brand new FD rear plate from Mazda that I have at a losing money price of £400 / which is £360 off retail !  Cant go any lower as I would just keep it as a just incase.

oh yes, Never forget that race winning seat that served me well at high G corner.

I paid 150quid for the seat and covers by the way, guy from Scotland sold it to me years ago and just last year he messaged me asking if I would sell it back too him

If I ever change it for something else, you can have first dibs for sure

 not need it now. you can sell on whatever you like, cos I'm retried from motor racing.  Enjoy your seating time.

I'm intrigued as I'm sure Grant will be to know what the seat was bolted into, what did you race ?

[Grant Monkhouse]

I am intrigued also.

I have just had the great realisation that because I have remived all of the wiring the max5 Abs won't work will it?

So this junk will have to go

Still waiting on a welder to appear out of thin air so I can get the stupid engine mounts finished and move onto something else

So I have 2 lines from the brake master.

Out of the Abs unit I have

Front right
Front left
Rear right
Rear left

That's 2 in, 4 out.

The 2 rear lines go through a block, I'm assuming that is some sort of proportioning valve so less pressure goes to the rear brakes?

So iv had a quick Google for removing the Abs and any thread that shows up everyone's typical answer is "why are you removing it, your going to run mothers and children over outside schools if you remove it"

Now I'm thinking that one of the outlets on the master/booster I can loop to do just the front brakes?

The second outlet I can run through the proportioning valve I have? Pipe it through and into the car so I can adjust it inside the car rather than getting in and out until I get the right balance to the rear brakes?

This is all new to me. So any advice  suggestions are welcome so I have a plan to make it all right.

I'm thinking that the rear lines get T'd together run through the valve and then back to the master/booster?

Front brakes get T'd also but no valve?

The stock brakes are going to perform better as I have taken at least 100kg out of this car.

I think the Abs unit weight at least 2kg on its own
