Hi all

I just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my car

It's now running and is having the body re-fitted next week.

I'm having a few problems connecting the tuneboy software to the triumph engine if anyone has any experience with this software please get in touch.

Will you be taking the car to Stoneleigh? Would love to see it.

For Tuneboy info, post on the Yahoo BEC list - Simon (Chaos999) and Guy lurk there most of the time.

Try contacting Mark of Triton fame, he had a Triumph in the Challenger he made

I'm hoping for a trackday in march

I'm not a big show fan unless there is a trackday linked. I like the Oulton Park show idea

Then there is a massive fiat 500 show in near Nice I might go there as I think it may cause a bit of a stir

has anyone been to the scunthorpe airfield trackday Trackday

But (as far as I know) never tried tuning it....Simon and Guy squeezed it through SVA

(no offence meant, Mark)

None taken mate...wires are the one thing that wind me up then to connect a pc up to an engine to tune it is voodoo

Ok everyone

Just a quick update I have just spoken to martin
The car weighs 400KG !!!!!!!
As it stands in the picture so with the body (grp),seats(grp)and lights I'm looking at an all up weight of approx 450kg

Engine 130bhp maybe a bit more

So looking at a power to weight of approx 288bhp per ton
I think that stacks up quite well if my math was correct

The only heavy item left to add is ME!!!!!
Looks like its the atkins diet for me thats cheaper than tuning the engine

Lee

PS I have a 150bhp Daytona engine in the garage for when I get used to the car
