Default API re-build

Well i just had the car re-mapped by API after i ran it in and i must say a big big thank you to David at API as on my way home the car pulled in every gear like a train it was a great differents to the old car .I know that my engine re-build was not a cheap one but after the drive home it just showed me why it cost that much. Still got the worlds biggest grin on my face

oyea the last thing i must say is to the M3 driver who tried to get away from me and give in as he had no chance lol she off to be checked on the dyno next week so then i will see what she is running but i would say 350+ if not a lot more and what the torque will be so watch this space

And if you want a engine built give David a call

Many thanks David from a very happy customer

Kip, thanks for that. l told you it was going well.

Both Pat and I were impressed at its performance - it came in at the upper end of our expectations.

Thanks for your custom. See you sometime.

Funnily enough we have a blown A'Pexi here at the moment. BUT, the owner has jump started the car with leads straight across the battery

AND the A'Pexi has been under water at some time in its life too, as it is all green and furry inside and an earth trace on the pcb board is burnt right through.

As to how and why on yours, we can only guess, trouble is you get reluctant to put another on it, in case that gets fried too.

Sorry maybe one or two of the mapper types will have better input than me.

Steve Simpson is the guru for Gems in my opinion.

Good luck David
