Exciting stuff John. Lola will eat your dust at this rate

Good stuff, if you can feel the difference driving i'd say it will translate into healthy numbers compared to what you had before.
Shame you don't have a temporary AFR gauge to see what the readings are.

Agree, it would be interesting to know how rich it is. I need to get it to Robin. Does he change the ECU settings for me when it's on the dyno?

I'll be interested in your final opinion on whether to get the SW chip or this unit, after you are fully satisfied with the final results. Both seem like similar bang for buck comparatively. Good idea with the shark fin clips for mine, looks like a dogs breakfast under there and new rubber etc will make a nice difference.

Passed by CCS today to see a red C4 manual with 99kms on the front lot, no price but could be up for sale shortly I'm guessing, unless its overflow from servicing.

You obviously haven't flown to small town NZ mate. That's a big plane by comparison. Some of the plans I fly are 16 seaters......

I always enjoy flying to Taupo or Tauranga as the planes are so small you share an open cockpit with the pilot. Linda cool watching the plane come in for a landing but always as noisy as hell...........

Have a chat to him but id bet it would be a leave the car there type of affair as he'll want to tune it cold and hot.

Far more realistically priced than the silver C4S.

Will be interesting to see how quickly Andrew's car moves??

WINDSCREENS, anyone interested in a new one? I have a lead on some new 964 and 911 windscreens, I'm getting one for mine so once I have prices I can post it up if anyone wants one. Indications are around 500 for a brand new screen.

I'm interested pending cost. Keen for a green tint top with aerial (Mr fussy).

Now that looks like a fair price, considering the lowish k's and NZ new. I would go for that if it weren't for current projects.
Interesting to see how long it hangs for, it will put a stick in the ground for 993 values. Makes the two Turbo's look well overpriced (which they are).

Paul I fly all manner of small aircraft and helos in the islands. They aren't jets tho and 16 seats is big. I thought this was the smallest twin engine jet I've flown but my wife corrected me as our old ATR that did the Northern run was a fair bit smaller. I guess you don't often book a united airlines international flight 1200km to be faced with such a tiny jet! Bloody emergency instructions were a bit OTT - three pages to say that in the case of emergency anything you do is pointless as you are fcuked!!
