kpg Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Won't make any difference to performance without a map to take advantage of it. Anyone know how well the tivct engine reacts to remapping? I'm guessing not well due to the whole oil pressure/timing/variable valve stuff ? Sent from my iPhone 5s.

kpg Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Had a longish run today. Can feel a slight difference. Engine sounds more snarly and it seems like acceleration has increased slightly... Sent from my iPhone 5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm in Paris right now so haven't had a chance to update anymore on the air filter other than the cars feels slightly more lively and, it could be me but, when the traction control is off its even livlier in this mode than before the air filter. Since I'm in Paris I didn't some window shopping: I'll take the red Huracan and the DBS cabrio ! :-)convertible Sent from my iPhone 5s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I decided that the gloss black was a magnet for dust, or just dust was very visible on it. Ether way I started wrapping the dash console in carbon :) ! I ran out of material so will complete the gearstick surround and swoopy bit next time. Sent from my iPhone 5s. This is how the ST should come with carbon trim ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Another small mod I did at the weekend was to improve the lighting in the boot as moving guitars and amps in the dark is a pain. I scored two signage led units from work and wired them up using two spare 501 adaptors I had laying around. Much better spread now as you can see: I usually have nothing in the boot so don't mind the mess. Sent from my iPhone 5s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks good! Shame about the wheel arches blocking the light :( Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Yea I realised while fitting them that there would be issues with light spread still. Fitting them flat would just spread light straight across the boot and fitting them at a slant, which I've done would create shadows. I'm pretty sure they're positioned for optimum light.

GingerFlame Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 That's what annoys me is the shadows. I've given up on so many plans to light the boot because of the arches :( Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biff55 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 suspension is one of those items where you really do get what you pay for , and quality costs. so on that basis a full coil over kit for just over £200 is likely to be pants to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your views. I would rather do springs but I've seen/heard reports of the H&R not lowering enough at the front of the MK3. Which puts me off. Sent from my iPhone 5s.

tazzman600 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Suspension is a black art. There's too much rubbish out there claiming this and that. Since you have a titanium best bet is to source zetec S springs and dampers. Tried and tested by Ford and countless owners. Excellent what you've done to your car. Like the carbon wrap. May just do my titanium x (deep impact blue ) as it'll suit my full leather interior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff55 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 agree with the above sentiment with regards to keeping it stock. if you're happy with a drop of no more than 30mm then a set of Eibach sport springs is ideal good quality units that ford themselves use for suspension upgrades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
