I was truly impressed... more so when we realised the ecu was holding back somewhere. I am not technical so only pyaap will be able to explain what it was all about.

Yes, that was a good fun day out. What I hadn`t realised is from messing about with the car the during the week before, the ECU had logged a DTC which was making the car run rich, thereby killing power. When I "read" and cleared the ECU after the run with the EVO, there was a noticeable difference and the car accelerated much harder at higher revs.

At the last Marham meet, Smartbomb drove the car and had a run in with a highly modified EVO 6/7 and left it too and the rest of the day was spent getting really dirty looks from the driver......it was so funny! I can`t wait for the next Marham meet!!
