Is that running standard ECU?

 

[t90_lle]

I haven't a clue tbh, I didn't even think that sort of power was possible from 172 engines.

 

[Dave Hester]

Thats f**k all,

Scoffs 172 engined R5 GTT is running 624bhp

It's Chris Savage's 182. Awesome car to be fair. Apparently the first 1*2 to use 6 pot brakes.

Flol, its not exactly hard get 175bhp per litre from an engine with boost mate.

I can't see 6 pot brakes on it?

 

[Martin.]

Looks lovely, bet it goes extremely well. The wheels ruin it for me though.

I couldn't see 6 pots on it either.

 

[182Turboo]

350bhp on standard brakes :/

 

[Chip-mk1]

350bhp on standard brakes :/

Ive got 310lbft and 280bhp on standard brakes with just some pagid blue pads, works fine like that, if you were racing and trying to outbrake people then I guess you would want more, but on a trackday its fine IME

 

[firthy182]

I bet he has spent a horrific amount of money on that.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Agreed, 20k+ probably including ktax


Cool car though, im sure he thinks its worth every penny

£5 says its goes bang or gets broken for spares within 6 months.

 

[firthy182]

It's certainly alot of money. Fair play to actually go ahead with a project like that.

Flol, must admit that thought crossed my mind too.

Seem to be quite a few of these sort of "big builds" go that way.

 

[firthy182]

What sort of performance figures will he be looking at for his investment do you think Chip?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Hard to tell from just a headline bhp figure, but I guess in the region of a 12 second quarter, and 0-100 in about 10 seconds.

 

[firthy182]

About 300 bhp p/t would make life interesting. I cant imagine the first 3 gears being much use in the wet though.

Depends how the power is delivered, in mine if I use part throttle on my turbo car it pulls very cleanly in 2nd in the wet.

 

[domsclio182]

Very nice, big brake kit would finish it off nicely.

Really?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Really?

Yes mate should do.

I was running far less than 350bhp when I did this on the worn out tyres the car came to me on initially, its a good bit quicker now, I will have to get a new video.

That is one "savage" car. I read on facebook it's just over 10k spent?

 

[Stu.]

Was talking to him the other day about this, This thing is a weapon!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Bargain if it only owes him that much, mine has cost me nearly that and thats without a penny for labour to build install or map the engine obviously cause Ive done all that myself (plus some help from the mrs and dan along the way!)

What diff does he use out of interest?

 

[Oakley12]

Chip that video you uploaded aint working... I want to see yours :/

 

[Brett]

Impressive but the amount spent on that would buy the RS4 Estate I've just been lusting at on PH.

Not for me these big money builds on cheap cars.

The point; You missed it.

They always do.

Tipical cs comment.

 

[Alex Conway]

I sincerely hope that when it first started they manically screamed "It's alive!"

 

[Chip-mk1]

Thats weird, was working but now says video not found when you try and play it even though I can still see it in my photobucket, maybe its just a temporary issue and it will come back as its deffo still there :S

 

[Clio172T]

They always do.

Yay more spares for us peasants!

I think you should make a new one

 

[Chip-mk1]

I think you should make a new one

Yes mate I will do sometime

 

[Allan-]

Thing is, once it gets broken someone else builds another one using the parts :S
And they don't all get broken with in 6 months...
