Finally got round to having the 70 mapped yesterday. I have been very unhappy with this car since the first week of ownership and it was seriously going up for sale, HOWEVER, Adam waved his magic wand and the 70 was a totally different Animal!! Adam I love you!!! LOL!!
The journey home reminded me how good these cars could be when they can stretch their legs (so to speak) and I am officially a convert to the 70's now!! LOL
Nice to see Goofy and Wobbly and I hear Goof's journey home was as much fun as mine!!
Many thanks to ALL at VT who worked on my car and especially to Adam and Girly Bear for staying late to finish my car off!! A job well done and a VERY happy customer!!

You can't beat a big black one can you Moppy!
Yup the ride back was "different"!
Love the strut-brace too ~ I'm surprised how much difference it makes!
I take it Winnie has to be put down then (i.e. sold)?
Fun in the twisties!

Sorry - had let Adam do his stuff! Engine is now a new animal... Originally Posted by V8guitar

Fifth gear now feels like third!, and the front feels rock steady!
MPG has gone UP by 2-3 mpg so far...
Feels like a different car now!
Fun in the twisties!
