Yeah still rocking the civic lol. I know it has a 7:55 in it if i can keep it together.
I'm the same, anything rwd for me i spend more time kicking the tail out lol.
Followed your 7:57 around before. Interesting to see where I'm quicker and where you are.
Beat it but it wasn't a clean lap so raged and switched it off lol. Maybe tomorrow haha!
I think the little Elise has potential if I can keep it in a straight line lol. Will try do sub 8 tonight.
Worst part is, rank 1 is still 15 seconds ahead of me, no idea how they are doing them sort of times!
All depends on the car too, I've got quite a few C class ones that are well tuned and won't do any quicker than my previous times of 8:15. Its all in the tuning of them really.
97 Civic type R is my current one I'm using for under 8.
C. Best cars I've built have been a Lotus elise, Cooper S GP and a EK9 Civic type r. 8:14 or 8:15 is my best clean lap with a controller with all aids off.
1st one I bought on 12k, was a 58 plate car and sold it a 18 months later on 48k. All it needed was egr blanked and turbo, turbo being my fault.
2nd one I've just bought in August,56 plate its on 150k so yet to cause me any drama yet. EGR was blanked when I bought it. I've gave it a good...
I've had 2 cars with them engines now and the only real issue I've come across is EGR clogging. So I just blanked it and had it mapped to suit and it was problem solved. I killed a turbo aswell but thats because I ran 2 bar through it all the time and sucked something through it on a track day lol.
Awesome! I love my Alfa 159. It really is epic.
Get it mapped up! Just mapped mine but about to map it again with the dpf delete done. Should see a little under 200hp and 340-360 ftlbs.
I'm not too fussed what happens. If it causes to many problems it'll get put to one side for the time being and I'll buy something else to keep me happy.
No point selling up, its probably worth a 1/3 of what i have actually spent.
Thanks! Hopefully it proves to be awesome.
I'm aware of the risk though, s**t does happen. You only have to look at Sharkys trophy on here.
My mates VXR is on approx 5th engine. But thats since new in 2008 when he bought it, so its had a very good life really and when it is working its...
Not particularly handy myself, happy to get stuck in though. Not new to the world of silly cars though, one of my best mates has a 500bhp+ Astra VXR so I've seen him blow up ££££ worth of engines/turbos etc, him and his brother are very handy so I have all the mechanical help I need on hand...
lol it just never ends does it!
I've been eyeing up that conversion of the 02m box myself. What made you change? Have you ruined a few jc5 boxes? If you don't mind would you pm me what its cost you roughly for it.
Pretty much, although it will be driven to and from the track days as I don't have a trailer myself. Suppose it depends on how reliable it proves to be. Can't be bothered trailering it every where though it takes to long.
Got bored of my Rover 75 so accidentally won this on ebay as a new daily...
Very nice, is yours the low mileage one around 36k? He did mention one to me.
I've also added a Pure Motorsport exhaust to mine aswell, more money haha.
