Thanks! I'm very happy with it! Yes Dave an ECU swap has been on my mind and I'm just trying to decide what to get. I want something that I can set up myself and tinker with but also get some reasonably local support for when it comes to perfecting the tune. Too many choices!!! Megasquirt, emerald, dastek, haltek etc etc
Would you be expecting 80kw at the wheels? Surely there must be other limiting factors holding me back from that? My aim has always been 75kw/100hp at the wheels and if a good tune could get me there I'll buy an ECU right now haha!

The dyno sheet says 74bhp at the wheels, but you wrote 80bhp at the wheel earlier. 106bhp at the engine would mean 30% drivetrain loss. Is it me or isn't that a bit high ?

Yea indeed, I don't entirely trust the dyno used, or the operator for that matter as I was told 80whp after the best run then got 74whp on the dyno graph! I also agree a 30% drivetrain loss is substantial especially given the size and mass of the Cappo drivetrain!

Mid winter update! The cappy is off the road to avoid the mad amount of grit being used this time of year which gives me the perfect opportunity to fit some new goodies I picked up, along with some servicing parts also.
Last picture before she went away for winter hiding...
Nice new black diamond stainless steel braided brake hoses, EBC Greenstuff pads and some fancy EBC front discs are going on followed by some nice clear side indicator lenses (pics will follow) then a new timing belt and tensioner (FINALLY!) Interested to see how the brakes improve with all this. I'm aiming for a trackday in spring so the parts should help make that more enjoyable I'm sure!
Also in the process of fitting BC coilovers and a fresh engine with 35k miles to a friends cappo so it seems like a busy winter of cappo tinkering!
