[Nick172Cup]

Few average pictures with the new coilovers/spacers etc etc. Also could apply for dirty car comp as well!

Also a few of the RS-2 Xtra, still think im the only one in existance that has the Xtra now!

Re: 2118's. Told you so. x

Love this.

 

[oliver.james]

Like this a lot, as above looks very focused; was the Xtra just a prototype then? or has it been put into production?

 

[Tez.]

well used ! NICE

 

[Bluebeard]

Excuse my ignorance, whats an 'extra' ??

Its a longlife system Naith, little bit rough round the edges but after a few trips back to get it sorted it does teh job nicely!

Not sure whether its still a prototype or not tbh, think quite a bit of people were put off by the extra money for not a massive gain. Only 3bhp more but an extra 8ftlb which is quite a good gain without having live mapped again!

Excuse my ignorance but why is that airbox better than the std rampipes with a filter over them?

 

[Chris205]

looks cool nick, I hate road salt

 

[Nick172Cup]

Extended runner length by 50mm Dan, given more peak power and a good chunk of mid to high rpm torque also.

Excuse my ignorance but why is that airbox better than the std rampipes with a filter over them?

Not sure what you mean, if you talking about the heatshield then it just has a Pipercross air filter with a heatshield around it for cooler air inlet temperatures.

 

[Ali]

Is there a back-to-back between that filter and heatshild and without? Independantly done? Surely the cold air through the grills is far more than that airbox? Curious!

No there's no back to back figures for it, true you would still get cool air through the grills but also all the heat from the engine/exhaust manifold. The heatshield gets air fed from below the passenger light/bumper area. It probably doesnt make that much difference but some gain is better than nothing or even loosing power.

 

[Ali]

What about the noise? Do you not lose alot of that induction note?

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good Nick!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Ali - Nope havent lost any of the induction note, if anything the air filter in an almost enclosed heatshield has made the induction noise a little louder by reverberating in that area if that makes sense.

 

[jenic]

Love this car :approve:

 

[Jamesstone]

Need to get the bucket & wash mitt a-sap! state of your engine bay lol!

You could install a Ph1/ v6 airbox to the normal RS2 if you removed the batt., but the extended runner length on the extra leaves you with little room up front for one to fit.

 

[Vish]

Looking great Nick! That must be great fun!

Second pic is a great angle.

 

[Wests Renault]

Looks mint

 

[p@blo]

Looking good Nick

 

[scottiebhoy]

Nice car mate, what offset 2118's you go for and what spacers?

 

[Nick172Cup]

The 2118's are an et43 offset, wanted the 37's but wasn't too much of a problem. Running 25mm spacers on the front and 13mm's on the rear.

 

[JJS1979]

Love it Nick,
you know my thoughts on your cup the more of an animal the better!

 

[Hutchie]

get some turini's they are 38.5, i have them on mine with 25mm spacers

nice and wide.

 

[Dodson]

Looks gorgeous mate!

What front camber are you running?

Also whats the score with the cut rear bumper?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Dodson - Front cambers set to 3 degrees of negative, cut the bumper to be different and not make it like a parachute aerowise. Will make air pass under the car a little better.

 

[Greeny.]

Nice Nick mate, my god your bay gets dirty without the slam panel!!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Does it! Only gave it a quick clean the other month!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Excuse my ignorance, whats an 'extra' ??

[Nick172Cup]

Longlife is a company that make custom exhausts, much like AAS, Powerflow, etc etc

Thats some serious camber up front!
