Was up at Star today to get a full geometry setup on my car as I was scrubbing tyres on the front and there seems to be no one in Glasgow that can actually align tyres properly. Saw Jim's new alignment system very groovy with mirrors and lasers etc. cool. Was right was toed in a bit and the caster is out on the front. Toe in
problem sorted but cannot adjust caster but not a million miles outside tolerance so no big deal.
Anyway also placed a set of michelin pilot sports on it and they grip like hell also very quiet compared to the Hankook K104s and the Bridgestone Potenza's I had before.
To cut to the point Jim said Robdon had tried one of the sprint boosters and liked it so he said give it a go and see what I though. 5 minutes later took it for a drive and have just arrived back in Glasgow and its great.
It feels like the first time Jim mapped the car although I know there is no more power. Flat spots have been removed and you only tap the throttle and it feels like you have been given all the power you would normally get at full throttle, now the draw back is when you go full throttle you don't get any more power so I think it may be working by telling the EMU to open the throttle more than it acually is.
All in all its a real hoot to drive, very, very, very quick response to tapping the throttle and you can very quickly be going into the illegal area of speed without flooring it.
Jim says he will fit it for free and if you don't like it he will take it off again so there is nothing for you to loose, give it a go.
All in all a good day, new tyres, properly aligned and into the bargin a great gadget that makes the car feel much faster or at least respond faster anyway. I would compare it to one of those quick shift gear levers or my first remap for transformation character, well worth every penny, a BIG THANK YOU JIM @ STAR.
