Are itb'd cars normally a bit of a pig to start when uber cold? This isn't a dig, I've only ever driven them rather than owned them sk genuinely dont know. Only reason I ask is tonight (3degree's) I took the sc'd car out and after a week of nothing it started first time. However, your mpg will...
unless you spend silly money on these cars you wont get massive power gains. ITB's are great for the noise and throttle response and as a trackday/fast road car you couldnt ask for anything more tbh, add cams to make it a little more furious but thats more money again.
I think now the problems...

I hadn't realised llandow was this coming wednesday!! No, I can do without wiring faults now it's running hah
Well, we are all friends afterall... ;)
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
I'll take you out in mine to see, but very few select people on this planet who get to drive it. We'll be there bright and early as Adriana says.
Ade, I was going to being Emma along but she's working, could have had that foursome...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
I've got camera footage of mine but it's pointless admit ends before the main power run lol. Both got decent cameras so will both come up with something worth posting :)
I was going to sit down tonight and work out how much this has cost...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
They won't blow up, get driven harder by us than the rr guy hitting the limiter once. it's at Powerstation in Tewkesbury, we got asked by our mates, not sure if they're any spaces or not. Only found out about it at lunch time
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
im yet to move the restrictor pipe too, havent got round to touching it this week. I'll have a look at the TPS tomorrow night, and i think you'll find its a genuine Ferrari F40 map sensor ;)
I have been invited to a RR day at...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
big enough balls and big enough pocket the charger itself could produce about 400bhp, one day with a low comp engine, VAG gearbox and custom drive shafts it may see 350+ but wouldnt be for many years and not until ive learnt enough.
im...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Thanks for the kind words guys, still plenty left to do on it and to keep me busy.
Mso, do you know what andy changed on it? Did he move the restrictor in the pipework, is yours pre sc or after the sc?
Mine has a project thread, adey's doesn't. I gave up with how it looks in favour for making it easier to work on and a bit more slaggish.
I have some fun ideas for it in the long run
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Hey Matt, I was going to text you but leave it till the morning. Feel bad talking cars on the weekend. The dv hasn't made much difference at all, but is a 3rd hand borrowed one so may not be exactly up to scratch. It does pull better at...
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Tbf, ive got to admit it's hard to drive slowly, bunny hopping and so on, but on an open road it comes into it's own now, I likey
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
I think we both took it as a dig at sc's lol. If at the karting it had been completed a few weeks previously I'd have taken you out Dave, as it had only been mapped 12 hours previously I had a bit of getting used to.
There are 2 faults...
Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77
Ah fair enough, I assumed you meant one of those shitty rubber things from halfords
Are you working on it again today? I'm kind of glad I can have a weekend off from worrying about mine now
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
I appreciate I've limited the life of my engine and transmission bit only doing 3-4k miles a year means it's not on my list of worries. If it was a daily I'd potentially have gone down the itb route, but would still have been bored of them...
Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77
You even got given a free gland on NYE by yours truely ;)
Looks good though, 2nd cars ftw
Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Whose to say the charger is unreliable ;) and the charger chatter is more addictive that itb scream IMO.
I could fit itb's in a weekend, would be bored of them within no time, do it properly and give yourself a challenge. And when you...
