Awesome!! How was the drive back Jez? Is there a massive difference in performance? Will the clutch need to be upgraded or will the OEM one be OK and not fail?

Looks good, what was the torque before the new map?

Looks good, what was the torque before the new map?

WAS: 115 BHP , NOW: 150.3 BHP / WAS: 270NM TORQUE, NOW : 399NM TORQUE. This means that the acceleration is fantastic and useable in everyday driving.....it now feels very quick!

Drive home was fun and clutch seems fine at the moment!

Needless to say I have been "testing" La Petite Fusee on the drive home from my Mum`s house in Romsey to my home near Basingstoke and there are some cracking roads to try.....A30/A33. One is a Roman road and the other is a quiet dual carriageway next to M3 so great fun through all the 6 gears!

I'm planning to do the same on mine, no issues yet but apparently either a Sachs organic or sintered clutch is the next step....

Wow.. looks awesome mate

[JEZDS3]

Yes......a clutch upgrade will be worth considering!

[JEZDS3]

Work in progress update!

It`s been a while since I have been on here but La Petite Fusee has evolved a little since my last post!

No new clutch needed as yet ,which is a relief but WTF now has my Triple R Splitter which she is going to pamper and fit on her car.

I have also put my air filter box and K&N panel filter back on and my car is running fine with a nice clean filter in.
The GSR induction kit was fun but I did find I had to keep adjusting and re tightening the hose at the turbo as it kept coming off!

I will have a new flexible splitter lip fitted in November and this will be able to deal with the local animals and roadkill in Hampshire
......my Triple R splitter was taking too many hits so it was time to say goodbye!

The Samurai Rubber Splitter Lip.........It`s On!

[Funky]

Like it Jez. Was it easy to do? Where did you get it from?

[JEZDS3]

Thanks Funky.....it would have been easy to botch.......so the guy that fitted it riveted it in 12 places so it is firmly attached! I ordered my Samurai Rubber Lip on Amazon I think and they are not very expensive at all! It is light in weight and durable/flexible. I`m pleased with it.
