England Bluefin....onnn

Ordered bluefin from lohen yesterday, arrived this morninig, installed this afternoon on second attempt! kind of freaky when its warning you that the car may not start etc and giving all these error codes! but we got there in the end! first test drive very positive, seems more responsive and alive, but real test comes when i'm driving back to work in an hours time and have to boot it up the A12....Oooh this anticipation!!

After about 50miles or so you should really start to feel the difference once the ECU has basically learnt the new settings

not many people mention the sound improvement, it makes it sound awesome at high revs in 2nd and 3rd, it doesnt sound like its struggling like it used to, everyone whos driven in my car has commented on it, they can actually feel the improved acceleration

Well what can i say? cheers gr33nie for the recommendation! my ONE now drives like it should. From the off the car felt more responsive and less hesitant than what it used to, and in second and third it has so much more pull and demands you get in into 4th to show you what it can do! the overall drive is much more smoother, responsive and pretty darn fast when driving on the fast roads!

Count me in for a group buy.

Ive wanted on for ages but can never justify the £300 price tag. Not to mention the worry if my year old ONE goes bang
