Wow, thats a nice car for a first rotary

FD can be quite a handfull with 320hp, so I cant imagine what a beast she is with +500!

Thank you, you need to be wide awake when driving but then again ive only used 450 bhp i would prefer if low boost was running 400 so i can make use of all the power

Small update but spoke to Stu at Rotor Torque the car will hopefully be going to Rotor Torque in May to get some work done to it just to get a few bits done will call again to book it in and confirm a date.

Will be getting following done:

Oil Filter
Oil
Spark Plugs
Coolant change
Fuel Filter
Remove line lock will fix the leak and as wont use it
Replace RW TB with a Stock one as i would probably prefer it more like this
Remap by Jaydee hopefully

Hiya,
Yes I would recommend covering the engine before washing the car if you keep the Scoot bonnet. I relocated my alternator down where the power steering pump was, but yours will be in the conventional location up front and centre, so any water will get in to the alternator. Killed the bearings in mine after 5 years of occasional water ingress.

Scoot is great design for summer as it lets the heat out of the engine bay with the bonnet closed. If its a standard/genuine scoot you can buy rain trays. These screw to the underside of the bonnet and direct any rain/water away to the front of the engine bay.

Mine was last mapped by Pip at WGT, he is well respected in the Rotary world.

A little blip of the throttle on start up should be fine with your Bridge Port, mine needs the same.

Yeah i will probably just have to stick to washing it myself so i can cover the engine bay. Im not sure if its genuine scoot but i can see its got small holes around the vents were something can be screwed in so may try getting something made as i cant find the rain trays.

Awsome thats ome less worry thanks again for the information and help much appreciated.
