saw you on southbound M50 near tallaght in the morning around 8.45
car was on a trailer and missing the front bumper .

oh , forgot to mention , this was the white FTO .

I'd say getting a car with a bozz bumper on a trailer would be tricky enough.

[Dragonheart]

Especially one that was that low, would explain the bumper missing. Bit of a pain to be taking off the bumper every time it has to go on a trailer though. (Wonder why was it on a trailer?? This one is road legal isnt it?)

Read this on FTOOC yesterday

The white FTO is getting mapped at 9:30 Monday morning.
Im so freaked out it blows up,
Or cant be mapped,
Or something goes....

[colm_mcm]

I'd love to see that car running, hopefully it works out for him after all the time and money that's gone into it.

[gary d]

yeah would be great to see the finished article hope it all goes well for him.

lads have been talking to dan over the past few days and he was bringing the car to track day performance to be mapped but they could not map it due to a falt with the car

[kevinod]

Any idea is it a small fault or a major one?

[Uncle B]

Gutted for him tbh

[998cc-keith]

talkin to dan there turned out set up was perfect but they would not dyno as there was a wheel bearing gone and not safe to dyno

[Dragonheart]

Correct me if I'm wrong but can a car not be driven to a dyno without being put on the back of a truck??
Would be a shame all right though if it didnt work out after all the work and time.

[gary d]

maybe he trailered it there cos he had to take the bozz bumper off to fit it on the rollers, therefor couldn't drive the car as the indicators are in the bumpers? just a theory.

[998cc-keith]

new turbo's have been fitted ecu would not be reading that there is turbos there for show up falts car running lean etc and from moate to ratnew not a good idea to drive plus he had a jeep and rented a trailer for €100

the car has no map.
It runs all the 365cc injectors under the same load as the 125 the fto has so its overfueling HUGELY,

the ECU thinks its a standard GPX and treats everything the same.
so when the car idles at 12% load on standard injectors it uses 90cc of fuel its now sending 262.8cc
not to mention the huge amount of extra airflow.

if i attempted to drive the car from moate to TDP i would melt the pistons in notime at all.
The flames would be cool but sending the injectors through the bonnet would be a bit of a pain.


The driver side wheel bearing is shot but i havnt noticed as the car hasnt driven vary far at all since its completion.
Iv been advised to do yet a more comprehensive wire tuck and plumbing relocation.
On top of replace the wheel bearing. should be back up with TDP by the end of the month.

as its cost me 360 euro to be told go home and fix what I needed.

Here is the fruits of my wire tuck.
your looking more around where the turbo is and up and down pipes. wires removed along with hoses re-routed.
