hmmmm, what to do!!!???

my head says yes, but reliablilty!!!??

Does that video work for you?

I can play it but the sound seems to be out of sync with the video.

Doubt that video does justice for how good it really sounds.

PM lucky and ask him about reliability issues. I can't tell you yet as I haven't even picked it up or had it running on itbs for long enough but according to Andy there are no real maintenance issues with it (touch wood).

He said they need to be tweaked at every service.

Throttle bodies really are an awesome bit of kit.

The first 'fast' car I drove was, believe it or not, 2litre XE Nova on Throttle Bodies....I would own one any day. 230bhp, instant power and the noise was like nothing else.

Bet you can't wait to get it back Chris!

Bit of an unknowledgable question but i'm guessing the use for the filter is because they can suck stuff in? I've seen alot of cars run without filters but most of the trumpets face to the rear? I guess with them being where they are on the clio they are in a prime place for sucking up bits and small children etc?!

Yea you can gather a lot of dirt in the engine if running without it.

Only time it will come off is if i'm showing ppl the trumpets otherwise when driving it will need to stay on.

the only thing that needs adjusting is the tb balancing... at service time...

other than that they are problem free really...

no it dont mate believe me!! i was standing 8-10 ft away aint it was vibrating through my chest so much it nearly hurt!! i didnt quite catch it on full load but coz it aint fully mapped yet i dont think we wanted to give it a full run!!

is by far one of the best conversions i think you have ave chose a good choise!!
 
Picked it up yesterday. My god it's quick and the sound is amazing. My friend compared it to an Aston Martin. Not quite...

GDI have a lot of video footage which may/may not be uploaded at some point when they are not so busy but if it's not then i'll upload some soon.

People will get to see it at FCS anyway on the GDI stand.

The car just never stops accelerating. So much pull even in 4th and 5th going up a hill.

I keep looking out for low tunnels now to wind down the window and hear the monster. Scared the crap outa some poor guy in a tunnel. At the moment I seem to be driving everywhere in 1st, 2nd and 3rd only lol just to hear the growl.

I'm addicted!
 
  ITB'd GDI Original?
Ha ha, well done mate. You'll soon cut down on that though when the fuel bills start to mount up.

You pansy! Buy an FRS then you'll learn about high fuel consumption! :rasp: Anyone wanna join my sub 20mpg club? :approve: lol

200BHP seems a little low for over 3k worth of conversion considering he was running around 190 BHP with cams before right?? Didn't it put out 217 on the rollers?
 
  M2 Competition
Worth it just for the noise... :D

Looking forward to hearing it at the weekend mate, jus dont let me near my credit card when i do! ;)
 
I'll be on track at FCS now lucky.

Yea somewhere near there Andy lol.

Think I got a bit excited whilst down @ GDI and when I took my car out for a test run with Andy and Gary I overtook in a few silly places.

They have nerves of steel though so no worries there.

Fuel consumption is better than I thought it would be thanks to some accurate mapping.

I'll get some more pics up 2moro.

Will see you all @ FCS.
 
Oh and Andy got my bonnet resprayed at no extra charge for me.

It needed a respray badly.

So get your orders in quick and receive a free respray. Jk

They had a little accident with my bonnet but all is good.

GDI come highly recommended.

I really like the way the error lights are not thrown up on the dash so it still looks perfectly normal.
