When I enquired about a remap I was told it was withdrawn due to not meeting EU emissions but on a plus they said ring back later in the year so maybe there might be one on the cards so I've opted for a free flow exhaust from Tony banks instead 😀

Please post up your thoughts when you get it done. If the improvements are anywhere near what they claim it should be very noticeable.I'm looking to do the same along with a sports cat.

Cool

Banana has been mapped to 210 and has a ported head. Once on the move she will out gun a lot of others. But she is still on her factory fitted clutch and the turbo is the original, so I don’t tend to try and out accelerate cars from the lights.

Mileage is currently 209,600.

I was told that there are too many parameters to map the 6. However I would have a word with Chris Flanagan at Retro Lifestyle, best man for some advice. After all he built a 6 as an auto using the engine and box from a 75.
