pete_griff 0 Posted November 26, 2008 hey there buddy, just to echo the replies above - that's properly crap for you :( it will all come good before long though - at least it runs properly now. remember the proverb from mr guinness - good things come to those who wait! hope you're loving the new wheels when they arrive :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 26, 2008 As they say, it's not over until the fat bint sings, so I'm more than happy to come back up and help you map it on the road Karl?. You just need to get hold of a wideband mate and we can do the rest. There's no 24V maps on the DTA forum that I know of unfortunately, but I'll ask again. I hope things improve for you mate :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted November 26, 2008 just to say thanks for all the kind words and offers guys, its very very much appreciated :D i was thinking i could sell the gottis, and this would sort out my imminent problems?? but then i thought balls to that :lol: my priority is to get xmas out of he way then just concentrate on sorting the car out. Kev i'm gonna be getting a wideband sorted this/next week, would the innovate lc-1 be ok?? or is it worth while spending more on another type?? but as you can tell at the moment i have to be tight, or should i say seeking out another bargain :) i really appreciate your more than generous offer to come up to me again mate, but lets just see i can do some money juggling first. and yeh Graham you can help me mate, 1k should do it all :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
