Like it mate. What's the plans?

 

[Christopher]

I still think it needs to be a slightly higher, white version of RACK. :dapprove:

 

[Waitey]

What turbo's on it? Or is it a secret..lol

It'll be a GT2556.

 

[sofaboy]

I can't do it Chris, it got too much for me in the end, thing i nearly ripped my sump off a week or two ago, now nay danger.


For now AK im gonna just try and get some money behind me, then Gold badges, chrome wheels, beaded seat covers and a k7 han number plate.

 

[AK]

FLOL!

Proper Asian number plate that.

 

[Steve]

Thats Pauls, then Phils old car. Phil beat me to it by hours 2 1/2 yrs ago.
I heard the car spent 3 days on the rollers & live mapping to perfect it.
Your right what you paid would not pay the bill for the engine.

Phils joining me in the mk3 revolution

 

[aucky]

Rather fantastic.

 

[Gaz.]

Sweet. Definitely go a little lower, nothing obscene.

 

[Ash.]

Can't wait to see this seb hope your up for a trip around Wales soon!

 

[Revels]

Some of those first pictures are superb.

If only it were a Clio they could go in the calendar!

 

[Jake007g]

This came up on my facebook before, think Tash with the EF Civic liked it or something! Look awesome anyways

 

[LIL B]

I remember this old bus

 

[Goodj]

Love the wheels, and engine build sounds like something I'd day-dream spec from Flyin Miata.

EDIT: In fact, those wheels just made the short list, along with OZ F1's and Enkeis

 

[Gaz.]

They are Enkei. RPF1

 

[JoeyD]

spec is

Suspension
Fereral 595 RSR - tyres fitted earlier this year
HKS Coilover Suspension
Kosei Alloy Wheels – very light
Adjustable rose jointed ARB links
Thicker 1.8 ARB’s
Poly Bushed
4 pot Willwood brake callipers up front
Big brake kit to rear – standard calipers spaced out with larger discs (inc bias valve)
Goodrich hoses
1.8 Diff
P5 Frame rails
Front and rear strut braces
Mr Fast lower front subframe brace

...

.

 

[Goodj]

Thanks Joey

 

[Gaz.]

So they are. Look just like RPF1 on the iPhone.

 

[jesus]

I want a go.

 

[sofaboy]

I want a go.

After your "skill" in the last one I don't think so lol

 

[jesus]

I was awesome! I meant with you driving anyway you tit. I was gonna come out the other night but nobody text back, and when they did it was to say they were all leaving! Have you changed your number?

 

[Wick]

I like this. It's very silly. It has an awful lot of power for a rwd shoebox. I really like this. Bet it goes like the clappers. BRB off to PH's. I like this a lot.

 

[Adz]

wow! this is a right gem would you go down this route or keeping it simple and just enjoying it?

 

[Knuckles]

oh my god! so upset i didnt come out last night

 

[-J-]

Looks lovely, I keep looking at MX's but am restraining myself.

 

[sofaboy]

Looks amazing Seb, saw a pic of it on Chris's FB and just thought you'd had it resprayed

What have you done with the red one?

wow! this is a right gem would you go down this route or keeping it simple and just enjoying it?

Red ones chilling on the driveway looking pretty sorry for itself. Not a chance I dont think, Im saying no for now but I cant resist silly stuff.

 

[Sam]

Some great pics there from Joey! Looks lush.

 

[Hixle]

Are you breaking the red one Seb? Or just returning to standard and selling?

 

[Rob]

Vulture.

 

[Kieran..]

Wow i bet this is fun when so light and that power in RWD!

 

[JoeyD]

Are you breaking the red one Seb? Or just returning to standard and selling?

He's breaking it, but most of the nice expensive bits are spoken for AFAIK.

 

[Goodj]

Looks lovely, I keep looking at MX's but am restraining myself.

It is unavoidable.

it is your destiny

 

[titchster]

<3


Loved it when Phil had it, love it now. I need to come back over and have a proper go, not be this month though, someone made me spend lots of money on stuff for my car.

 

[sofaboy]

Bargain that was titch!!
It's going back to rodders after bank holiday for a health check and more power

 

[welshname]

Only just found this thread. Wish I'd come to KK's now lol. I need a passenger ride in this!!!!

 

[Steve]

It's going back to rodders after bank holiday for a health check and more power

I would leave the power alone for now & learn to use what it has.
I was designed to run all day long & be safe.
Even after nearly 3 yrs Phil was still finding the limits. He goes racing & can drive.
If you have found the limits after a week this will not end well.
Anyone can drive fast in a straight line the skill is in the corners

Again... As per Nutz.... Yawn!

 

[sofaboy]

Soooo a bit of an update. I don't know why but with every car I own a simple health check needs to be done.... with this one more so, basically the car produces quite a bit of blue smoke. Having never owned a forged, nor turbo'd car i thought it best to seek professional advice, so I took it to autotronix developments in rotherham who have done an amazing job with the car and its come back with a few things that need looking at. However they managed to notice that there was a "slight" blow from the exhaust. This actually ended up being the downpipe hanging off the turbo as 4 studs had sheered off inside it leaving just 2 nuts holding things together... This soon became zero.

In a 2 day period Clive managed to turn the car around and have it all sorted in time for Silverstone this weekend. A fantastic job done by Clive and the confirmation that the car/turbo are all healthy was such a massive weight off my shoulders

For anyone in the Rotherham area,I can't recommend Clive enough


Edit: oh and the lexus lights are gone.

 

[Waitey]

One thing that worries me a bit is the fact I was close to maxing 550cc injectors at 240bhp let alone 280bhp!

 

[sofaboy]

That waitey good sir is a very good point i've never even considered, its going back in for mapping at some stage because at WOT or high revs its fantastic... as a road car its a bit of a pig at times. Will check whats left of them then.

 

[Goodj]

Performance 5 (or FM if you wanna get overnight parts from.... well, the US) will fix you up for all the extra-fuelling needs you have.
