are you being ironic? or do you genuinely not know he has standalone management
i cannot tell.

i cannot tell.
a) I didn't know
b) why is it still there
As ammar said will get a silicone pipe made up for that maf delete section.
Also in relation to the mounts, it's an on going project so stage by stage.
My old Sr20det sunny gti ran fine on std mounts and hard launches.307bhp/241whp.

Okay a boring update but hey.
I took the car for a nice thrash on a 2 hour drive to Ashford. The route took me down the A406 London, Blackwall Tunnel, A20/ M20.
The car loved it, starting to open up now and drive great, not a fault and idle bang on.
Normal driving normal car, open her up into SR20VE mode hell breaks loose.
Had an even better drive on the way back, car ate a type r ek9 version and has come back satisified with flys all over.
The reason for travelling to Ashford from North London was to go a visit Rimstyle.
I was after a set of Compomotive th Mono in black 15'x 8 et25.
Now the offset would need spacers and sprocket rings to fit so headed down.
The rim would kind of sit out a bit.
Anyway got down and the rim just would not clear the caliper.
They were actually even too wide for the rear as the rim was hitting the coilover strut.
I don't think there is any 15 that would go the front on now.
So my only option is to go 16's.
But I really want 15's, but I also want to keep the brakes as they are awesome.
Anyway I have decided that the car is running great now, the brakes are shit hot and nothing is wrong, so I will leave car as it is for this year and possibly turn into a drag car next year.
Once I get the mag feature out the way next week I will sit back and have a think which way forward I want to go and when.
Road car/ track car/ drag car/ show car.
Anyway enough talking pictures from today.

Not in stock, but I would want 15's if I am down grading.
It was mainly the fact that, it's what's best for 1/4 mile racing.
15's with fat wide tyres.

Hmmmm decisions
Exactly what I was thinking..
What does a 1/4 mile time matter if you love driving the car and its plenty fast enough for you? It looks nice as it is with the big 17s, get some decent VE cams in to get your time down if you're that fussed, some 16VE cams would be a great drop in!
Don't really want to open her up just yet, will concentrate on getting her lighter first.
Okay so as some of you are aware I really want to break into the 13's but I know it will be very hard.
Okay so went down to the Pod today for my second time ever, last time i ran in the Sunny with the old SR20DE getting a best of 15.53.
So today I would have been more optimistic seeing as I now have the SR20VE which rolling Roaded at 196bhp/ 160whp.
So i decided to have the car set up the best I could having the rear up by 10mm and set to hard spring rate.
So had a nice drive down there.
Remember my aim is to drive up in one piece run a under 14's 1/4 mile and drive back home again in one piece.
So get there 10am.
Warm day
I was told the best times are later in the day when the track is more sticky and the weather is cooler.
Anyway had my runs max only 4 runs as I needed to be back home for 2pm.
My car number 2022
First run crap keep wheel spinning and couldn't put power down.
Then an old mate came along in his civic eg, he told me it has a forged 2.2 vetec and can do high 12's impressive.
Anyway he ran a 13.49, fuck me fast for n/a.
He told me how to launch a fwd car and hold at 3krpm then let go.
So I try again and this time it still has loads of wheel spin and i rev to 6krpm opps bad.
He tells me it's all about the 60ft get a good one and iam low 14's he offfered to drive my car as he knew it could do it.
I decide to have another go.
This time still wheel spin but not as much.
Decide to have one more go as I needed to go.
Next run tiny bit more wheel spin.
He told me to give it another go and it's 14's deffo as the track is getting more grip.
I call it a day.
So my best out of 4 runs 15.0277
P.s I finished 2 of my runs in 4th gear, the better runs in 3rd gear
A few civic type r's doing 16's lol.
So my plan now is to
Remove short shift, was told they are shit
Remove cage
Remove big brakes with 10 pot calipers
Remove 17's and shit tyres
Remove heavy sound system
Door cards and carpet
Get some 15's with slicks.
Then It's back to the pod or Shakeys in my aim to get into the 13's.
Practice makes perfect.
Need to get a new clutch as this started to slip.
Am I dissapointed?
Yes and No.
Yes because I thought I could do better
No because I have 17's, cage, sounds system, shit tyres and only had 4 runs cutting my time by almost 100/sec each time.
So could have got better if I stayed.
Well it was a trial run so I now know what I need to do.
But on the way back M1 southbound was amazing the car flew as I decided to give it some, knowing that after the pod it survived.
Had a mini copper s works, think they are around 240bhp take me all the way to 130mph, bloody scarey, on a private road of course.
I moved over but it couldn't pass me.
I am just glad i got back in one piece, time to enjoy the car and strip her more.
If anyone is interested in the brakes, wheels, cage please pm me.
So I will update this topic in my aim to break into the 13's.
Thanks for reading
I can't believe how dumb I am and that no one else spotted this.
I went to my tunners today to dicuss the way forward with the car as i was not too pleased with the times i got 2 weeks ago.
I showed them my sheet and they slapped me....
Looking at my first run i ticked the wrong side, and though i got 15.2392.
Wrong it was actually ticked for me by the santa pod lady.
DOH
SO MY FIRST RUN WAS
14.8364
HAPPY
Remember my car number is 2022 lol, not the one i marked.
So 14.8364 with 17's, crap tyres, cage, sound system.
Remove if need be guys, just that this is not active, anymore runners this year?
Don't add me on table, it's just for comparing.

Okay nothing great.
Next step.
I have someone buying the cage and the 17's next month so they will be going.
The doorcards and part of the dash will go for more weight saving.
The car will then get some team dynamic 16's all round, team dynamics pro race 1.2
They will just about clear the big brakes.
The 16's weigh 7.4kg each.
I will have 6 of them.
The 4 main ones with normal tyres will be for road.
The other 2 will have slicks on them just for racing the 1/4 mile- well actually they will be Avon spec crossply compound race tyres.
With the car now having no cage, no 17's, more stripped and slicks i'am sure i can then get the power down and shave 0.8373 off and get into the 13's if i try hard.
I will be taking the car to both Pod and Shakeys to test each track.
In the meantime i decided to get another sticker.
Not really a sticker person unless I like it, and I like this one.
Finally as the car is so low, the wheels have been scrubbing and banging big time on the arches, especially the drivers side one, causing damage, so may need to replace it soon. The whole arch side wing. Should really think about getting them rolled.
Anyway pictures and hopefully the next time will be an update of a 13 second 1/4 mile run.
When racing, the 16's with slicks will be up front then i will experiment with the rear.
Running 16's team dynamics, 15 steel wheels, 14 steel wheels.
I will also run with just the drivers seat.

Okay well where do I start...
Today I have a day off, so waiting for my rims to arrive.
They are
2 x team dynamics pro race 1.2 16x7 4 x100 et 38 in gloss black with Toyo T1-R 205/45R16 for the front
2 x team dynamics pro race 1.2 16x7 4 x100 et 38 in gloss black with standard budget tyres for rear.
The reason being i will be getting crossply racing compound tyres as above for the front and use the t-1r for the rear when racing and for road have set up as above.
Anyway today I will also be taking out the roll cage and have someone collecting this and the compomotive th2's next week.
I will also have the car 4 wheel aligned.
So with the cage out, smaller, lighter rims, with either crossply or the t1-r's i should hopefully look for a much better time than my previous best of 14.8344.
I also got hold of some bad ass steelies 15's off a Renault with the same offset so will see about using them for the rear.
Steelies spec 15 x 6j 4 x100 with some fat 205/50/15 tyres just to test on the rear.
Finally I have the mag feature hopefully for next month so decided to give the car a wash and take some pictures before and during the shoot.
The shoot happened on Sat, the day the riots started in Tottenham, we were 5 minutes down the road from where it all kicked off, the editor told me he had a quick visit to White Hart Lane to see the Spurs ground then things started and he bombed it back to Scotland pmsl...
So next month should be a big one, mag feature and going for that 13's second run 1/4 mile.
