I was out the other day with Jordan and while enthusiastically pulling away from him in 2nd, my rev counter needle went all the way to the bottom without the car seemingly being anywhere near the actual limiter. My nephew who was watching it at the time also confirmed this.

Where the hell have Jamsport put my rev limit

No I have hit the limiter once since I've been to Jamsport... I just didn't realise it was revving off the counter because at the time I was preoccupied with some enthusiastic driving

The limiter must just be set at stupidly high revs!

No, because I know they'll say everything is void because I've changed my cat back and CAIS since they mapped it

Plus, I don't wanna pay another £60-£70 in petrol and waste a day off only for it to still not be right...

Best finding a local place to trust then? Least you could talk to them first and ask if they could solve ur issues.

Any pic that is linked via Facebook doesn't work on my work computer - not just my avatar. That's definitely why I can't see it at work, but obviously not why you guys can't see it...
