    My R gave me the GRiN factor on my way Home today.

    Finally, my R is mapped with Chad's old ecu, and the difference is fantastic. So much more torquey, and with all the other work, she's driving really well. Just tracking and balancing, and I'm pretty much sorted for a while. Thanks to Benny and G at GRN for sorting my car, and I'll be back soon with another for you.

    My cars will be a common site there from now on, and if there hadn't been so many jobs on the R, then the C70 would have been in there next week. Gul is going for the bodywork checking as well, to see if a full respray can be avoided............

    Glad your happy Mark, like I've said they aren't bad lads at GRN, I've never had a problem with any work I've had done there.

    Just over the 100 from me, but I'm always down there, and they can give you a courtesy car. They've redone work done by someone closer to Home, so I'd rather travel down to them and have it done properly, first time.

    Graeme, you've taken the thread off topic by mentioning 100 moles.............lol. Coincided it with trips to our Office which is 5 miles from them, but I would be prepared to make a special trip if something comes up that I need their help with, and I've no trip to the Office planned.
