I was wondering if it was them when you said geordieland, love their videos.

Considered sending them my car if I can’t get it running myself. Keen to know how they get on

Also, not sure if you are on it but I’ve setup a group on Facebook for Audi engined Elise/exige since there isn’t really anywhere for decent info I’ve found, would be good to have your input

cheers philthy,
just joined, I will keep an eye on this, but may need more help than I can give! - do you think it's worth me posting a link to my build thread on here?

An update of sorts, as I'm conscious that I've been quiet about this build for a long time....reason is due to slow progress at Decimal Tenths, it's been with them for over a year now, they have done a lot of work on it though, to be fair - I'm hoping to have it all done and shipped back to me in Anglesey by end of Jan. '23.
Another update then, meanwhile best wishes for Xmas to you all

A year. To map an engine. Hmm … look forward to their list of excuses

Worth the wait I hope.

Look forward to more blogging soon

Update...it's not progressing!! - Totally let down by Decimal Tenths, they had the car TWO years in total and didn't manage to get it started to do the mapping. It's back home now and back to the drawing board

Sad to hear that. Hopefully car is in good shape and a new plan can be hatched

How can they have it that long and not even get it to start?!

Surprised to hear they let you down, hope you weren’t out of pocket

They did some other jobs I needed help with:- final water plumbing and gear linkage, which they did. But they kept promising me they were going to work on it 'next week'! - but didn't. They didn't have the honesty to just say they couldn't do it, they kept saying they would get round to it. It got really difficult towards the end and I just gave up on them and arranged to have it brought home. I wouldn't recommend Decimal Tenths to anyone.
I have a plan B in progress and will be talking to someone else into the new year. Never give up!
