Just thought i would post - MORNING to everyone..and also how refreshing it was this morning to jump in the t5, drop her in drive and listen to some brilliant music on the way to work - passing all the sour faces in there seats, skoda, rovers, vauxhalls etc!
I know shes old but god i do love how she pulls and drives!
Also just cant wait to middle of the week as bought that 305 ECU of niles the other day so should be here for middle ish of week -
I honestly cant see how much of a difference it wil make but still i cant wait to find out!
I am building a collection of ECUs now, i have the standard, the t5-r one thats ment to be 280 remap on it and this one on its way!
What do you recon i should crank the MBC up too once i have the rica installed?
