My Day (and More) At Jabba

Featured Replies

OK I was expecting an eventful day , but not quite as eventful as it turned out . The day started at 5.45 , got up made myself a coffee and SWMBO a cup of tea , finally left home at 6.45 , everything fine until I misread my route planner and got off the A14 at the wrong junction , so I took the scenic route to Crowland and arrived at 9.05 .

Left my car in the capable hands of Elton , who advised me the car should be ready by 12.00 , so I took off into Crowland , a pretty little village , bought a paper and the day's supply of L&B and eventually found a Cafe where I had a

sorry to hear your bad news mellow

I'm looking even more forward to my jabba trip now... :)

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law, and it happening at a time when you're so "busy". I only hope that little thingy you noticed with the throttle is just a ideosyncracy of the jabba remap, and nothing serious.

Pete

Sorry to hear about your father in law not good news at all.

As for the RS it's defo overboost which I find strange as Mike does err on the side of caution.

I also thought your RS would hit 230. :(

Sorry to hear this mellow.

Des , yes I thought I had a good engine , but the original RR only gave me 181 BHP , whereas others are are getting close to 190 BHp .

Was also told that if I use optimax it will increase and was advised to use 3 tankfulls of optimax then change to ordinary unleaded for 1 tankfull and then back to optimax for another 3 tankfulls and so on .

Thanks to you and everyone for there sympathy ..........not a nice job to do .............I don't recommend it :(

What purpose would this serve?

Not sure Quinten , but I think it's because if you use the same fuel all the time after it has been chipped , the engine adjusts it's settings ? and changing every now and again is good ? ..........I don't know why , but that is what I was told ( I'm sure someone who knows more than me will explain in time ) Was also told that the use of optimax makes more difference to the cars performance after it has been chipped than it would before .

Don't shoot me , I am only the messenger !

Hi Pete,

sorry to hear of your family loss!

Got a couple of questions for you:

was it Elton or Mike that did the remap for you?

have you been using Optimax allthe time or was is a "special treat" just fo rthe remap?

All the best.

Adrian.

Adrian , it was Mike that actually did the remap , and it was a "special treat " for the remap , but I will be doing the 3 then 1 method from now on ;) BTW thanks for all your efforts to get us the 10% discount (not to be sneezed at)

BTW , SWMBO is on her way down to Hastings to her mother's with her daughter at the moment and am in contact every 1/2 hour .............if you were wondering why I am still logged on to Briskoda at this time .

Sorry to hear of your loss.. im sure you will miss him, i know i would miss my father in law...

Re the overboosting - have you got the milltek by any chance?

Pete, tried to respond last night but wouldn't let me post. Sorry to hear of your father in law - I escaped that horrible task but was there when my wife got the news about her father, not a nice moment. Very sad as I loved him dearly too.

Don't worry about your car, Mike will sort it, he's a perfectionist.

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

Thanks again to everyone for your concern .

Phoned Mike at Jabba this morning and asked if I could take the car back over to him today , for him to sort it , he said OK , so off I went again .

An hour after arriving I was on my way home with the sort of smile on my face that I was expecting yesterday :D

Not very technical myself , but I gather from what he told that he has smoothed out the power curve , so the acceleration now is not quite so manic , but it holds the power better at higher revs , which is just what I want .Mike also said that he thought the car felt quicker today than yesterday - must have been that full tank of optimax I put in last night .

Another happy customer...good stuff!

I really love your signature :mw:

Pete,

I've just caught up with this thread. I'm sorry to hear of your family's loss :( I especially hope your wife is OK.

All the best, Mark
