Found more reminders of why I no longer go to my old mechanic... Pretty disappointing!

My perfectly fine windscreen washer bottle has been swapped for one that leaks! Luckily I noticed it before rust set in!

Hate to think how much silicone made it inside the box... May explain why the oil I drained was white... This is a box I've spent thousands on replaced gears, synchro's, selectors etc etc etc... Didn't even last 1000 km's!

Pulled apart the fuel rails i bought for a dollar and cut & polished them(preparing for split rail :D). Talked VF27 with a friend and hes now decided it is going on his zxr250 (once its had some work done) its basically going to be a frankenstein café racer. Now to find all the banjo bolts and stuff for it, they'll be in storage somewhere :/

Sparkplugs, oil/filter change, fuel filter, fixed exaust leak, tyres rotated and a general check over the car... discovered a split cv boot which will be fixed in the near future.

Off to clubsub meet this afternoon, feels like a new car :)

Flooded it. For about the fifth day in a row....

The damn thing will start soon! The joys of a small battery, a very slow charger, trying to map the ecu from scratch and a driveway which makes life very difficult to get another car close enough to jump start it!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow :)

had a hi flow cat installed in place of a resonator after my catless downpipe.

Sounds a wee bit different but not much More importantly, no check engine light, exhaust doesn't reek anymore, and no knock so far which means I won't need a retune :)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
