It would be me charging for the maps man but all the work bar flashing and logging would be done by them , price would be 300 man , but not much interest over hear for me to make it worth it , tbh I'm not sure on figures but it's night and day over the stock map , I would think 300 ish the map on my car is by thorny ms and it could defo be improved but it dose the job for now

Just passed me at the Knockmore Road traffic lights.

Looks great. Somebody will be getting a seriously clean VXR. (y)

It's been good to me for the past 2 years. Just time for a change now. How you finding the s2000?

I'm enjoying it most of the time. Weather has been decent since I bought it so roof is down plenty. Some days heading to work, I'd prefer to be in something a bit comfier though. At 6'2" it's quite snug.

Sorting out a few niggles with it, still need to get the wheels refurbed and source a hardtop.

Good stuff @mcmurray looks a good find. Really must get a look at some of the local rms cars. 2 years to the day that I bought this of @Iain Traynor car is meant to be for sale but an issue has raised it's head in the sense of a common problem with these cars. (n)

That's what we think it is. Low whine comes in over 20 mph whine gets quicker as speed picks up. Knock it into netural noise is still there same for pressing clutch in noise doesn't change. Looks like it's going to need the bearings done @Iain Traynor

Bummer. Unfortunately the M32 box is a ticking time bomb, it's not a matter of if but when. Hope you get it sorted.

Here's hoping few people who have heard the noise have said to just sell it but not the proper thing to do and the money it could end up costing if that's what is wrong don't know if it'll be viable to sell it. Parts alone will be close to £500. Sometimes I really hate cars. :cool::p(y)

Has it been mapped by Thorney long? They used to have some "issues" but I'm sure they have improved after all the feedback they received.
