    Damn, that is horrible. This is ending up to be quite a money sucker. I hope you get it all buttoned up and are happy with it in the end.

    Wrong in so many ways - only managed 3.5 laps :-x

    New CP 8.5:1 forged pistons being ordered along with some more stuff - gotta
    make that damn motor bulletproof.

    Yeah - the car is supposed to be in 100% condition apart from mapping.

    The plan was to fly to Hahn on the 24th and drive the car up to Denmark (again)
    and have Mr. X map it. The Tauber guys were going to bring the car to
    Nurburg beforehand.

    From Nurburg to Denmark and back is approx. 2 x 800km, 2 days, wear and
    tear on the car plus €€€€€€€€€€€€ in petrol.

    So... I checked how much a flight from Denmark to Munich costs and it turns
    out it ´s much wiser to fly the master mapper to the car rather than bring the
    car to him. Then checked if he was willing to spend a whole day on this and
    he agreed

    So now the plan is to fly to Hahn on the 24th, drive to Tauber (close to
    Nuremberg) pick up the car and drive to Munich. Mr. X the mapper shows
    up on the morning of the 25th and we map during that day and he flies
    back home in the evening.

    Which means I will hopefully be driving at the Ring on the evening of the
    26th with approx. 500hp on tap after picking up a mate at Hahn on the
    way to the Nurburg.

    Now with my luck - what are the chances this will all go smoothly???

    My new 550cc injectors:










    The car is now too rich on low revs but is pulling like crazy on high rpm´s.
    I´ll have it remapped this month and then it´s the Ring the last
    weekend of the month

    Either way great pics and keep up the good work . :up:

    I believe they used one from an old 2000 series BMW that was small
    enough to fit.

    BTW, some pics from last weekend at the Ring:
