yeah but those little changes didnt feel much more on a straight but they made the pickup of the car faster.

on mine the fmic did a big difference on mine as i had no scoop on the bonnet to cool it and when changed to fmic the car was flying!

My car is not that light its 810kgs and im another 90kgs so that would be 900kgs

i dont know how much bhp but when it was setup on the rollers it was 135bhp.

yeah but everyone has the same dissadvantage when your racing as there is always someone in the car, so you being 90KG isnt included...

810KG is bloody light! My EK9 weighs around 1020KG with a few stripped bits so in comparisson that is a feather......

I wont disspute about how much power you gain with a FMIC as i know it doesnt really incease hardly any power, just when going fast you will get a better cooled intake charge, giving you a tad better poke on 7PSI... at such low boost your intake charge will be kept pretty cool anyway so difference will be oh soo minimal. If you were saying now you were running 1BAR/14PSI on TMIC and changed over then thats understandable to feel a decent gain....

135BHP is completely stock power?

lol, random!

yeah im a sparky....

Hours, well it plays in roundabouts mate, as i get my early days as well as my late days, some easy days and some hard..... Really depends on what job im on, and job deadline.....

Why you ask mate?

[Dan3SGTE]

definitely alot of money to be had in the electrical trade.... Ive got all my paperwork now, just need to go in for 17th edition as thats just come in and get my testing and inspecting to be NIC registered, thats where the real money comes in......... Thats a tough examine though....

Ive got over 5 years of expereince behind me too so always helps.....

Exacly the same, I dont wana go in just yet as i see people with 10 years behind them failing

Even though i know how to do all my testing and im up to regs pretty well but that exam is a ball game..

Thats because they tend to think they know it all and don't do the course properly.

possibly, but i do know of many people failing this course as its very hard... Including a guy i know with alot of experience and a very clever man indeed, aged 39, has his own electrical firm etc.... and he failed, and knowing the guy very well, that shocked me...
