I'm just glad it causes some debate - be dull if it didn't!!!
I have a number of other mags chasing it when turbo'd so if I get the time it may appear again this summer.
Off to the sticker shop for more stickers
And Fred thats 107+7 at 12 months interest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the tender age of 107 (Yozza and Fred think I look about mid forties) I can confirm three things
1. I wanted to look at the tits in the magazine and got free copies
2. I do drive like a w**nker most of the time
3. You can only hang washing on the spoiler when I've finished ironing on it...
I need the stickers to remember the spec and I need all the wings and stuff to put the stickers on cos theres so much spec!
And for those that haven't had the dubious pleasure of driving a Mk1 V6 you need the wings and canards to stop going backwards at high speed - if you wish to remain...
Gearing is swappable between 136 at 7500rpm top end and 165 top end at the same.
I run the lower set - not spending much time between 136 and over on UK roads or tracks!!!!!!!!!!!!
48 in first on low set, 62 on higher set - with flat shift the times between gears are negligable.
Don't go...
belt slip is cured - only needed a tighten as it was a new belt - drivetrain is all Trophy plus stronger than trophy driveshafts - clutch is race twin plate.
No need for charger and TB's - can get 1.4 bar from the Turbos from about 2800rpm - charger would just add weight and rotational...
You can't get a diffuser on a V6 due to rear subframe and exhaust placement unfortunately or it'd be on there by now!!
Maybe I could mount the one above on my wing for extra downforce - she's a beauty!
Scotts rebuilt the thing over the summer with Steve Hurst doing the rewire and Motec install.
Remapping next week at Owens - hopefully for more mid range and driveability before we got mental with the TTurbo setup.
10 points to whoever recognised the BTCC wing - it was from Matts car.
It's...
a bit of pre work prior to fitting twin gt25r garrett turbos and a tougher engine - we're going for 500lbft and 500bhp next year, seen the spec on a dyno in excess of that.
Hence the new Motec kit for launch, traction control,flat shifting and throttle blip on downshift.
Shes also set up for...
Took juniors 1.2 running like a pig to Rentech - it left in pefect order inside two hours with a new loom - top bloke that could teach most about customer service and has more kit than your average dealer!
He didn't even know it needed a loom untill we got there!!!
I'll be back!
Nice...
minimikes 1.2 is running like crap.
Missfire on pick up and limp home mode every 5 miles.
Changed the cat - no difference
Anyone else had this - possible Lamda sensor??
Plugs OK - feels like its not mapped properly when it misses - over fuelling??
Ideas?
