Not been on in a while so I thought I'd pop in and update you on Shabash!'s latest tweek. 
While at MITCar the other week, Uncle Nige was in attendance from Angel Tuning and so we had the remap done. I've no rolling road figures but these are my observations from the last couple of weeks (copied from BOO): -
13/08/08
"I have indeed had Shabash! fettled with by our infamous Chairman and on first impressions it's fekkin brilliant! Much more pull lower down the rev range, the flat spot I currently have (suspected dodgey MAF) has been evened out and the mid-range pull is greatly improved.
As for MPG, I'm reserving comment on that at the moment as the remap invloves an ECU reset so Shabash! is still re-learning but it would seem to be unaffected at present. Will give more feedback after the next 2 tankfulls when I will be better informed.
Thanks to Nige for bringing the kit on Sunday and spending a lot more than 10 mins doing it and also thanks to Mr Wim for so kindly donating last years karting prize to Shabash!.
Is it time to drive home yet?"

"Nearly on the light on the first tank and showing 334 miles. Reckon I've got another 10 before it comes on so considering she's had an ECU reset on this tank full that's looking promising (last tank before the map was 350ish to the light)."
She then had to go to PowerItalia for a full service. Also replaced the MAF with a new Bosch part, sorted out an overheating issue which turned out to be a disconnected low speed fan resistor (from when I had the accident damage sorted is my guess), brand new airbox as mine had crossed threads and a new coil pack on cylinder 3.

"OK, finally finished off the first tank today and....
394.4 miles to the light and 440.2 by the time I pulled into Nortan Cannes services to fill her up!!!!
WOW!!!!"

"Second tank done (and bearing in mind she's had the ECU reset mid tank again due to the fettling last week at Mr Wims) with 370 miles to the light. 24 down on last time but as said she's had the ECU reset again. Still, at 370 that's still 30-40 miles more than pre-map."
