      Are you south of Mûnchen? Just wondering as I pop over to just north of Salzburg now and again. Never know we might be able to meet up.
      no.. north of munich. nuremberg to be precise. But i do plan to drive on the salzburgring this year. But considering it would be my very first trackday, i am happy to meet up with some experienced drivers. :gayfight:

        Spent a little time in Nuremberg a few years back. Work related with Siemens.

        Drove the salzburgring once with BMW. At one time we had a mountain storm. Never been so scared as we had to follow the instructor and honestly you could barely see the rear lights of the car in front. Some of the drivers wanted to stop as the rain was unbelievable.

        When I'm next in Germany I will let you know.

            He told me he was going to return a Cosworth part, never did despite repeated chasing, then said he was going to pay for it and never did despite repeated chasing. Bloke is a liar and a thief simple as that. Was trading as ATF Power at the time but closed it down (presumably with a load of debt) and set up new company.

            The ECU that he "developed" is just a Syvecs in his own box, the DCT stuff was written by Syvecs and jointly paid for by him and these guys: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/news...on-conversion/

            so you can get exactly the same Syvecs ECU with DCT control from whifbitz and avoid having to deal with him.

            Others are developing DCT solutions too, give it 6 months and there will be more choice.

              I saw the whifbitz link, was how I found the eliseracing searching for more on syvecs - was it Gareth you dealt with?

              Am happy to wait bit as it's a winter project anyway. Don't want to write off the company based on one experience but duly noted - thanks

                  Still in very early conversations with him but if it does go anywhere I'll mention he might want to do some damage control here! I'm sure he's got a side of the story but I don't wanna get involved!

                  All I've got in mind is a fast-road tuned launch on normal tyres followed by 6 fast, clunkfree, shifts at the redline.... :drool: :drool: :drool:
