well i suppose they sold me it, but anyway...
went to jabba on friday with my 150TT. after a full diagnostic check it was given the all clear and was said to be very well run in - which is nice.
up on the rollers she made a couple over 150 which isn't unusual.
then the modding began !
with my new chip in and hooked up to the lap top Mike began fiddling with a whole load of things while i read some magazines and then hey presto.
four hours of careful mapping, reducing the power back slightly, ironing out any flat spots and i have a car that has surpassed all my expectations.
using cheapy supermarket fuel and no other mods he managed to get 221 BHP and an increible 256 ib/ft torque !!
this is with a max boost of 1.15 bar which i am told with the 150's K03s turbo, is well within limits.
i guess the perormance is now akin to the 225 given the reduced weight, extra torque, 5 speed box etc. but the main thing for me is it now just goes like i always hoped it would.
hopefully i'll get to do some timings this year

Out of curiosity, what's the wheelspin like (front left wheel) if you accelerate hard from rest, turning left out of a side road to join a stream of traffic?
Very poor handling in this crucial manoeuvre in my previous car (a 150bhp Golf) is what convinced me to go for 4WD in the TT, so I'd be very interested if the FWD TT with a power hike can do it better.

Its a great shame IMO that Jabba aren't more central in the UK as they would get alot more bussiness than do already. They are also a company that dont really get a mention on these boards very often which is also a shame.

impressive figures budd ;D bet yr well pleased!! makes such a difference doesnt it! completely transforms the 150
with regards to the front wheels spinng yes they do struggle for grip in the wet, however in the dry it aint too bad! you get used to the power and in time can use it very well!
there is a lot of power going to the front wheels...
they do say for a front wheel drive car the maximum power shud be around 200BHP, but my 150 does cope very well with its new 236BHP
so much fun - a bit scary in the wet though
top people are JABBA - was a fair drive for me though but well worth the drive home ;D

Sorry for not getting back – cost was suppose to be £470 but I've used them before so got £40 discount
Wheelspin if you floor it is quite bad so you get the traction control light on a fair bit in the wet, in the dry though is generally ok – full lock pulling out of a junction with full revs is a no-no but I guess that goes for any car. As for when you are moving its not a problem.
By the way, the car is lowered so I guess that helps keeping body roll down and the tyres on the ground. Also got aftermarket 18s so the extra tyre width, wall depth reduction helps
Got it chipped mainly for better overtaking and so I arent massively bothered about second gear out of roundabouts which is the downside of front wheel power

Well thanks a lot. I'll now have to get my money out shortly to shut these voices up! Well, in the next few months!

Christina Ricci Flying High For 'Pan Am'
What do you call a product placement for a product that doesn't exist any more? I guess that's not really important, I'll let some advertising executive worry about that. What I do need to worry about is that Christina Ricci is in negotiations to star in ABC's Pan Am, a period drama set in the skies during the 60's.
Now, I'm actually excited about this show. The premise and setting is promising and Ricci is decent enough to initially carry the show. An airline is a fantastic place for a TV show, especially since it seems the cast will be spending a lot of time in the air. The 60's will provide the smoldering sex appeal and harassment issues raised in Mad Men and it should work well considering that stewardesses were basically Hooters girls back in the day (Catch Me If You Can was a documentary, right?).
Side note/question: is Christina Ricci hot? Not attractive; she's definitely attractive, but hot? I'm not sure. I find her strangely attractive like a really good looking alien. And it's not even her forehead, it's her jawline: so defined it's like her head was poorly photoshopped onto her shoulders. Not that I would turn her down. I'm just preparing in case she does offer herself to me. Hey, you never know. You have to have a plan for these things. Because if you don't you'll be caught with your pants down and…actually, never mind.

How New Zealand's Blanket Bay Got Its Name
March 9, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
Nestled amidst rugged snow capped peaks of the Southern Alps on the shores of Lake Wakatipu is New Zealand's finest Lodge – Blanket Bay. In 1861, a mob of sheep owned by Mr William Gilbert Rees were sheared on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, in a bay just south of where the small town of Glenorchy is situated. This bay was to be named Blanket Bay after blankets used to create the shed and shelters used to protect the eight Maori shearers and the wool from the elements.

Did You Know? Barnsley Gardens Resort
February 27, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
Behind Barnsley Resort's storybook setting is a true story filled with as many twists and turns as a work of fiction. The original manor, called Woodlands, was an estate built by a man—Godfrey Barnsley—for the love of his life, his wife Julia. Godfrey Barnsley began construction on his Italianate villa in the 1840's in the north Georgia foothills, on land that had once been inhabited by the Cherokee Indians. Both the home and its elaborate gardens were inspired by the work of Andrew Jackson Downing, a pioneering landscape designer and proponent of Italianate and gothic revival architecture. Julia never saw the completed home, as she fell ill and passed away. Today, Barnsley's stunning estate is an award-winning destination resort.

This statistic shows the most valuable automotive brands worldwide in 2016, based on brand value. The Toyota marque was ranked as the world's most valuable car brand in 2016, with a brand value of about 29.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Most valuable car brands worldwide
In 2016, the ranking of the world's most valuable car brands was topped by Toyota. The brand is a subdivision of the Toyota Motor Company, which was founded in the late 1930s. The Japanese manufacturer is one of the largest companies within the global automotive industry. It is active in a variety of segments, including SUVs and crossovers, trucks and motorcycles. Furthermore, Toyota invests heavily in the research and development of hybrid electric vehicles, as well as plug-in and full-electric vehicles. In addition to its operations in the automotive manufacturing industry, Toyota is involved in various other areas, including robotics and aerospace projects.
Beside Toyota, automotive brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Ford also made it into the list of the most valuable car brands worldwide. Germany's Mercedes-Benz (a division of Stuttgart-based car and truck maker Daimler) manufactures luxury and crossover automobiles, buses and trucks. In 2015, the car manufacturing subdivision, Merecedes-Benz Cars had total revenue of around 83.8 billion euros.
In 2016, the scandal-stricken Volkswagen Passenger Car brand fell out of the list, while Tesla made it into the ranking for the first time. Of the Big Three U.S. automakers, General Motors and Chrysler sell automobiles under a variety of brands, while Ford sells vehicles under its namesake Ford brand and the Lincoln brand. The Michigan-based company reported having sold more than 6.6 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles worldwide in 2014. That same year, Ford's revenue amounted to just under150 billion U.S. dollars.

The Latest
With its formal dress, foreign languages and shouts of bravo, attending the opera can seem a bit daunting to the outsider. But it doesn't have to be. If your closest brush with the art form is Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in "What's Opera, Doc?" here's a quick, dirty and highly subjective guide on how to attend.
Why I like opera: In a sense, it's a combination of the best of all art forms — the best music, sets, costumes and dancing. Furthermore, it gets darker than many other art forms. I've seen musicals in which nearly every character dies, only to have them come back for one last rousing number to send the audience into the streets humming. Not so with opera, where the stories often end with the most devastating things imaginable happening.
Starting off, stick with the classics: I'm not trying to wave you off of Richard Wagner or any other composer, but if you're worried that one bad opera experience will scar you forever, the tried-and-true audience favorites are the way to go.
Georges Bizet's "Carmen" may seem like opera's equivalent of ballet's "The Nutcracker." But it's popular for a reason. "Carmen" has a fantastic story, great characters, Spanish dancing and a score that you can probably already hum most of.
Georges Bizet is my favorite — I think the tenor-baritone duet in "The Pearl Fishers" is the most beautiful piece of music on the planet — but Giuseppe Verdi is generally considered the gold standard. It's hard to go wrong with Giacomo Puccini and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as well.
Do your homework: Like William Shakespeare, your enjoyment of the opera will be magnified by how much effort you make ahead of time. It's common for audience members to listen to a recording of the show or read the libretto beforehand to refresh themselves. I recommend at least reading a synopsis of the plot.
Wikipedia can do the trick, but if you prefer your synopses in book form, I'm a fan of Eyewitness Companions' "Opera," by Alan Riding and Leslie Dunton-Downer. It's accessible, attractively laid out, and provides a good synopsis of the most popularly performed operas. For something more in-depth, try Sir Denis Forman's "A Night at the Opera."
Supertitles: Worried that you don't speak French or Italian? Don't panic. Most opera companies — including the Virginia Opera — project the dialogue above the stage in English (it's usually someone ranting about love or jealousy). Even operas in English like "Porgy and Bess" often have supertitles, because it can be hard to make out the words. At some opera houses, the supertitles are displayed on small seat-back screens.
Tickets and seating: If you don't mind sitting in the nosebleeds, tickets are less expensive than you think, starting around $25 for the Virginia Opera. While closer seats might give you a better view, opera is such a showy medium that you won't miss as much of the action as you would at a standard play. The visuals translate well, and you can still hear everything perfectly. Also, just because a seat is more expensive doesn't mean it's a better spot. In many opera houses, the best place to hear is at the front of the balcony, not the orchestra level. Savings also come from subscribing or buying group tickets.
Run time: Though it won't be exact like a movie run time, a little research can let you know how long an opera will be. Most operas are in the two- to four-hour range, with a varying number of intermissions. Take advantage of the restroom during these breaks.
What to wear: Traditionally, opera garb consists of tuxedos for men and formal wear for women, but Richmond prides itself on being a casual city. Friday openings will have a few tuxes, but mainly business suits for men and formal or cocktail dresses for women. Sunday matinees are very casual here, with anything other than jeans and a T-shirt seemingly OK. Perhaps business casual or casual chic is the mark to hit. Virginia Opera performs its shows in three cities: Norfolk, Richmond and Fairfax. If you happen to attend an opening night in Norfolk, many men will wear tuxedos, so dress appropriately.
Audience participation: When it comes to clapping, simply do what everyone around you does. A pause in the singing is sometimes only for dramatic effect, or to bring attention to an orchestral interlude. Just relax, and wait for everyone else.
After an aria — a long-song solo — shouts of "bravo!" are meant to applaud male singers, "brava!" for female — though "bravo!" seems to be fine for both sexes in modern times.
Just don't shout "bravissimo."
It sounds pretentious.
The Fall Season
Virginia Opera is staging three performances this fall, starting with a doubleheader of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Pagliacci" (Oct. 14 and 16), followed by "The Barber of Seville" (Nov. 18 and 20). Both are at the Carpenter Theatre.
Best known for "The Threepenny Opera," Kurt Weill collaborated again with playwright Bertolt Brecht on "Seven Deadly Sins." This sung ballet is about sisters, named Anna I and Anna II, who travel through seven American cities in seven years to encounter each of the seven deadly sins. Virginia Opera's production will star Weill specialist Ute Gfrerer in her American operatic stage debut.
Meta before meta was a thing, Ruggero Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" tells the story of Canio, a clown who must play an onstage character who's been cuckolded after finding out about his wife's real-life infidelity. Before things end horrifically for all involved, we're treated to "Vesti la giubba," one of the best tenor arias around.
Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" is an opera buffa, or comic opera, about men seeking the same woman's hand in marriage. Figaro, Italy's answer to Falstaff, is a mischievous barber who helps the Count Almaviva woo the beautiful Rosina. Filled with comic antics, disguises and such great Rossini tunes as "Largo al factotum," "Barber" is considered by many to be the greatest comic opera ever written.
If you've been hesitant to give Lyric Opera Baltimore any attention (and from the empty seats Friday night, I'd say that means a whole lot of you), the company's season-ending presentation of Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette" ought to win you over. It's a very respectable venture, thanks to vivid music-making and a handsome staging.
Filling the title roles are singers with the assurance and style to meet the opera's vocal demands. They also possess the acting finesse to create persuasive portrayals of the unfortunate lovers who dare to cross the long-monitored lines drawn in the sand by their respective feuding families.
On Friday, Jonathan Boyd used his sizable tenor elegantly, nowhere more so than in his balcony scene aria. Top notes were not always effortless, but there was an exciting metal in the tone when the music heated up, especially in Romeo's passionate outburst at the news of his banishment after the deaths of Tybalt and Mercutio.
As Juliette, soprano Sarah Joy Miller could have been singing in any number of languages, but what she lacked in clarity of French enunciation, she more than made up for in the theater-filling brightness of her voice and her unfailingly beautiful phrasing. She's an unusual talent. It would be great to have her back in town soon.
The veteran bass Kevin Langan gave a sympathetic performance, vocally and theatrically, as Frere Laurent, whose efforts to help the lovesick couple get so tragically derailed. Among those also making vibrant contributions: mezzos Kimberly Sogioka (as Romeo's page Stephano) and Susan Nicely (as Juliet's maid), baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco (Mercutio) and tenor Daniel Curran (Tybalt).
The chorus produced a warm, mostly cohesive sound. In the pit, the Concert Artists of Baltimore hit a few bumps but played Gounod's finely crafted score with considerable fire and nuance (that score has been trimmed a bit for this production). Conductor Adam Turner provided sensitive guidance for singers and orchestra alike; he sculpted the post-wedding bedroom scene and finale with particular tenderness.
Visually, the finely costumed production hits the spot. The sets, designed by Michael Baumgarten and Bernard Uzan, evoke old Verona nicely enough, with projections filling in details as needed. Baumgarten's lighting, more subtle than usual at the Lyric, is a major asset, right from the opening scene's lovely golden hue. Uzan generally maintains a firm pace and freshens up several scenes, but also falls back on some old-fashioned stand-and-deliver poses for the singers.
Whatever provincial elements pop up in this "Romeo et Juliette," the overall quality affirms what Lyric Opera Baltimore is capable of doing to keep the art form a part of this city's cultural fabric. That's what the old Baltimore Opera Company managed to do for decades; its successor deserves a chance to do the same.
The Baltimore Sun
When it comes to tragedy, it's still hard to beat the one about "a pair of star-crossed lovers" named Romeo and Juliet, who defy their feuding families and are denied happiness by a dreadful series of circumstances. If there's anything that can intensify Shakespeare's compelling drama, it's music.
