the mongoose full system currently on my valver/williams is off my old RT, the whole exhust is identical although when i had my williams engine put in they had to mess with my de-cat. the 16v de-cat will fit the RT
true, just messing about round the back of the shop, the car tries to light em up at 1k revs! that is foot completely off the clutch! so you up for a bit of 1/4 miling soon then mate?
sweet! cheers for info, reckon my first outing will be at the redline rumble at the pod on the 1st of june then! maybe an outing at york before then if i can talk adi into it
i think that looks well good! i came across a supercharged VTS at an organised street race event. once rolling it was lethal, but racing to 80-90, by the time he had got the power down i had reached the end of the strip! shame he spent so much on his car but got beat by EVERYTHING there off the...
obviously yours and jons are pretty special cases but i have the HP chip and a fairly healthy williams engine and box, stripped out and with some of my hopefully lethal starts you reckon i could dip into the 14s? or am i dreaming?
the hill power chip that you have does not need a PBV, there is no point getting one cos you wont see any power gains. IF your car is underfueling then you need one BUT i dont think yours will be cos mine wasnt with the same ECU
When you boys ran your ridiculously quick 1/4 mile times, were the cars stripped out? sorting out some 1/4 mile runs for when i get my license back and i have a few people to porve wrong about the willys ability!
picked up my valver yesterday, with its williams engine and gearbox, had it chipped by HP while it was being fitted and what can i say?! its a bit quick! traction in first is pretty difficult in the DRY so i bet its fun in the wet(or not). the most impressive thing is how it pulls in 3rd 4th...
that is wicked! i like what you have done witht he rusty front splitter, is that a jap part? wicked spoiler bet that gets you loads of downforce. that is F.U.K.in mint yo!
you got it in max power yet?
i must have been told the wrong spring rating on my springs. with the 200lb springs my car would jump off the ground if i went over a bump ANDi couldnt make any adjustments of damping because the springs were far too hard! even with 175lb springs i think the ride is far too harsh on the car!
im am more then happy witht he set-up in my car, i am yet to be in a car that handles better, it isnt amazing for accelerating through corners but for holding speed through them and powering out it is amazing! i can go into a corner very fast and come out of it even faster but if i go in slow...
defo go with 2l, reliabilty is not an issue and you may even get away with not informing the ol insurance company.................group 18 car for group 12 insurance anyone?:D
give it a rest all, this 172 vs. cup thing can get boring you know? besides, my car is the best and my girlfriends boobies are bigger then all of yours so ner ner
ok i think it is about time i pull my finger out and become a member. i just need to know, what sort of stickers do i need? im thinking of getting 2 stickers, one for each rear quarter window, only my windows are tinted so i would want them to stick from the outside. any guidance is much...
Jesus, in the process of talking Adi into T/Bs, not that i think the car needs it! Excellent car, even though it has silly power the car is very well balanced and doesnt really have problems puting the power down, well done to you and nick hill!!!
can i just say mat, you have built an absoloute beast. that car ALMOST managed to convince my mate to forget his 10 year affair with VW and buy a clio similar to Adis! i am still getting over how fast this thing is!
i know because of the fuss i kicked up K-TEC started supplying there coilovers with the 175lb springs. i found the car dangerous to be in if cornering fast because the car would simply jump off the road. plus the damping settings meant nothing because the sprung was too hard for any noticeable...
i know you wont believe my now Paddy but i reckon you will have him to 60 70, ie when he reaches for 3rd. i know when i raced my mated 20v i was level til 40 and he wouldnt convincingly pull away til aroud 70. Let us know!
i will also freely admit that coilovers are easily the best mod on my car. Its one of those things that you need to try, no matter what anyone says or how many cars you are a passenger in that has coilovers, you need to drive one hard to love them. grip grip grip grip grip grip...
