Mission achieved. 1.21.45. Too late in the day to work out have many Dave's, Macca's and Steve's that is. Best thing I was consistent and starting to bother a few cars through the twisties.

Bob, Mike, Scott, Matt and any other computer geeks out there:
Can any of you get access to an EPROM programmer and some 27C512 28 DIL chips?
The reason I ask is that I am investigating to possibility of remote live dyno remapping (using Wayne Schofield from 9M / Chip Wizards). He has a son in Wellington and hasn't said no at this stage. Just working through the logistics of what he needs at this end??
Let me know whether you can assist:

Let me know whether you can assist:
Google "eprom programmer" and limit search results to NZ and you get a few firms that provide units or services. You can also find plenty of ep units on ebay for about USD50.
Google "27C512" and found a VHF group in Welly selling some although not sure if they are 28 DIL.

Also found a firm in HK selling these:

...and I would have thought Surplustronics top of Queen St might be able to help but couldn't see anything on their website - still might pay to ask them...

I also seem to have had a very consistent day, which dispels the theories I had after the last effort. Fastest session times were:
Session 1 = 1.22.619
Session 2 = 1.22.507
Session 3 = 1.22.300
Session 4 = 1.23.196
Session 5 = 1.21.448
Session 6 = 1.21.885

John - turn 1 is where its at. You are staying on the brakes and then it looks like lifting as there is no speed pick up. With the C4 you need to finish braking and then get back on the pedal as you're going downhill and looking for that 2nd inside rumble strip. You'll be surprised how much speed you can carry through there when you're on the gas with all 4 wheels driving. Next time out, focus on that corner and just be braver - the good thing is there's a massive run off so the downside is very limited.

And no - no car for me today, I keep expecting too much out of the process.

The downside to getting solidly into the 1.20s and better is that the classic trials will start to feel very slow... make sure you post lots of updates next weekend & hope it goes well.

It would be no fun if you came out and aced it in the first few goes. The journey is the best part. The good thing to know is that the C4 is a capable track day car. Today I seemed to be 'bothering' a few more cars than usual. You'll get there as well, it just takes track time.

Yes, I can see that happening. I'm in a good space right now with the car, but eventually I'll reach the same point as you i.e. The car becomes the limitation and you need to either improve or replace it. Now I have a spare set of rims and Z221s for the 996TT, that will likely get more use at times, but I'm a 964 zealot at heart so I may even go 964 racing at some stage. Many years away...
