Well the car has been on the rollers and was told its running too lean! took the plygs out and they indicate its running rich
Going to put another AFM on just to be safe and then see what it does
Spoiler is now on and painted too.

What i was thinking, Plus unless you set it correctly, you could have more braking on one side than the other.

in reality i would say that was less of an issue tbh, there will be quite a few other variables changing the amount of rear braking going on per side, and they wont be doing much anyway, and you would need to get it a lot wrong to make any serious difference, more just a pain in the ass having to adjust two knobs, could just be my inner laziness coming out

Lazy is not a word i would use to describe you Lee! The two valves were down to hi-spec......when dad went in there they said that the car would require 2 not 1 hence 2 were fitted!obveously not the best advice given but hey ho......

thats why i said inner laziness well i have a very low opinion of hi spec tbh as they fucked me about royally when i got some discs off them and tbh didn't really seem to know what they were doing, but anyway, it'l be fine, just a bit unnecessary...
