5500 as far as I remember that’s what they ask for usually. Hmm

No. Last time we were at Bedford the guy said hold at 3k.

Hmmm not for me. I remember they said 5.5.. hmm anyways. Bigger silencer on order. After that it’s more baffles.

I’ll stick a wig on. Hot pink lipstick and they’ll think it’s a bird driving. They won’t think it’s a noisy car and won’t test me. Boom disguised. ?

 

[robzracing]

The noise test is done at 3/4 throttle so you're right Ilya, between 5 and 5.5k is what they ask for. (I don't usually mention that mine revs to 8,300 )

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Been a while since I did a track day I must say, so you might be right.

 

[Hyperhatch]

Bedford is 4.5k for anycar

Soo here we go again. 3rd time lucky? Maybe..

Got an oval silencer. It’s 7” wide and 24” long.
Also inserted another 2 half moon baffles in to the pipe. Hopefully this will work!
After a test, at idle Db dropped by 5db.
At 5000-5500 it hovers around 103-105 But strangely jumps to 109 as soon as you let off. Strange. Might test against my RS4. I know with valves closed it passes the test. Maybe the meter is calibrated wrong.
Anyways, will buy a Db insert just in case. And test at Bedford on the 1st.

What's it like at 4500rpm? I think you'd more likely be tested at that. Never been tested beyond 5k I don't think

Think it’s just below 102ish. It’s noticeably quieter.

Washed the slag first time properly since I got it haha. Almost 2 years ago.

Also carried on the design on to the sides skirts.

And stuck a funk motorsport sticker that I won on Facebook competition hehe. Looks good! Gold! Who don’t like gold! They supplied my turbo blanket.

planing to take it to Ace Cafe on Monday for French classics meet (every 3rd Monday of the month) can’t wait for Bedford on the 1st!!!

April 2019.
In the never ending quest for loosing weight lol. Fitted a lithium battery. 2.3 kg vs 7kg for odesey.

Also some padding on the roll cage.

Also another 4kg lost with headlight blanks.
Loaded up for Bedford.

Was a great day!!!
Was testing extreme VR2 R7(front) R5(rear)
Vs 888R. And they are faster! 2.7sec faster

Also did a tuft test of my diffuser. Any experts in aero on here? I have no idea what to make of it lol. I suspect they are a bit too long to begin with. Vid is long. Can skip to the Center.

I'm no expert but it looks like a lot of turbulence!

I take it the noise test went ok too then?

Looks like the air is swirling to me too.

It does doesn’t it. But maybe tufts are too long? Idealy need flat floor on this thing.
Yes 98static. Was given a caution once when drove too close to one of the mics on WOT. So happy with that.

It still feels like it’s working. More stable at high speed corners

It probably is still doing something.

Very interested to know any details on the Lithium battery as I think my Odessey is shot and I will need to get something new.
I initially saw about them on Stav-tech so was going to look into it any ways.

It does indeed look turbulent under the diffuser, if it makes a slight difference its still worth it. Despite everything people downtalk about this type of stuff, if it makes any positive difference then surely its worth while

Battery is good so far. Very light. Plenty of power. Not much else I can say at this stage as only had it less than a week.
Bought my PS-20 bundle from gsparkplug.com

It’s near 5kg lighter than my odesey PC680

Ahh yeah, should have guessed. It has the blank on the outside for the speed sensor.

Good turbos, spool very quick.

i got really confused and thought it had arrived really really quick and you had the same couch as us!!

Yet to see either of the G25s make near their numbers on a 4pot. Realisticly it's a 450-500 turbo on a 4 cylinder

to be fair it's lister for 1.4-3.0L and they are american figures so even if it only makes 450-500 on a 4 pot that's still a decent figure.

plus if you're worried about figures then just go for the G42-1450.

That’s more than I plan to run through FWD anyways it’s not about too figures. When @bloke recommended this turbo, I did quite a bit of research and the efficiency of it is quite impressive considering the size! This new gen turbos are Awsome!

Oh yeah I'm well aware how good they are, a mate runs a 660 at 500+ on his 1.8 A3 trackcar and I had planned on putting one on my Megane, til I decided to sell it and get a V8 [emoji1787]

Literally before loading the car on a trailer to go to the ring. Decided my wing mirror needed a little extra help to get more fresh air in. So made this real quick .

a bit of trimming...

On the ferry

And we made it here already. More updates later!
