Stuttering between 2.2 and 2.5k under light throttle and constant speed.Can feel the car starting to judder and kangaroo underneath you.
Blip the throttle to those revs while on cold start and the car nearly stalls.
Not sure if the 2 are connected.

Takes a lot more cranks to get the car started when both warm and cold than it did on stock ECU.Cold start and running tweaked the second time on the dyno but still doesn't run particularly well when cold.

Rev counter in the Race2 Dash keeps cutting out.It died completely the first time on the way home and got looked at during one of the niggle visits.
It now works for the most part but every so often will cut out for a few seconds and come back to life.
Particularly annoying as when it does this it lights up all the shift lights like a Christmas tree for a few seconds until it settles down.

Speed reading on the dash is all over the place, constantly flickering either side of the speed you're actually doing.Sample rate on the dash is as low as it will go.
Don't think it's fixable as is, it's just the way it is.
As far as I know my options are to go back to my standard clocks or buy the data logger so I can use GPS for the speed reading.
Not really the end of the world to leave it as is but really annoying as you can always see it flickering madly just at the bottom of your vision.

The dash isn't level, it's been mounted lopsided.Really minor I know but I must have chronic OCD as it totally bugs the crap out of me every time I see it and has almost become the epitome of everything I don't like about this car.

Still getting fumes in the cabin when the windows are open.Nowhere near as bad as before after running a tube from the catch can breather down to the bottom of the engine bay but still bad enough.
Not sure if it's still the catch can vapours or maybe the screamer pipe but not pleasant driving with the window open, even a little.

Wheel wobble.In no way related to any of the work done by either garage as had this issue before the car went off the road but still needs addressing and isn't really helping with my general dislike of the car.
Had wheels refurbed and checked while car off the road, wheels and tyres all true.
It's one of those annoying wobbles that's there one minute and gone the next at the same speed.

Really annoying rattles behind the dashboard and squeaks, buzzes and vibrations from the engine bay.Hardly surprising considering what's changed in there and was able to cure a bit of it during one of the niggle visits but still plenty to sort.
Not talking about the odd noise here and there you expect with an old car.
Talking constant in your face noises and resonant vibrations.
The stuff you can't tune out.
Makes for a pretty agricultural driving experience.
