5-8k rpm is much fun. Still on low boost safe map, going in for proper mapping just before inters so i'l be ready for some strip action [YOUTUBE]R4jLDL5IUzg[/YOUTUBE] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4jLDL5IUzg 1st and 2nd gear acceleration, made a pause in between gears to bring boost up slowly in 2nd to prevent wheel spin 60-80 mph is very quick [YOUTUBE]675xb85BEPQ[/YOUTUBE] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=675xb85BEPQ
Seems rapid Sam, but I thought it was rapid before! How different is it and how (relatively) has the turbo changed?
Thats mental Sam. 80mph+ in 2nd gear. Gearing is massively long, but i suppose with that monster turbo setup it needs to be.
Rapid it is thats for sure All new set up, my diy tubular manifold, external gate pipework and downpie Turbo is a Bigger GT3082R aka GT30*0R, same hot side with much bigger compressor Also fwd now so car is fair bit lighter Gearing is ultra tall, 120 mph in 3rd, 160+ mph in *th and over 200 mph in 5th, 6th speed is not needed ever i guess but i do use it for crusing on m-way
hey sambo good to see you around still, sorry i never got around to confirming delivery of mani and turbo but i guess you know its here and all is good with it. mega nice piece of kit you sent and even better is the turbo you got now, that is some very impressive gearing and acceleration and i cant wait untill you get the full map on with more videos up!
Good to hear its all there Full boost shoud be lots of fun, even more so when the lot is transfered into my all new, soon to start mk2 project. When its all up and running i am expecting not to exeed 750 kg gross weight!
yeah seeing your mk2 up and built will be an amazing machine that will give you a large adrenaline rush i think
Engine/box combo from A3 was gona go into this car Not any more tho, it is for sale now in clasifieds because its gona go into this mk2 once its ready Build thread coming your way soon
Only a real man can pull it off! For some strange reason i like it! Mind you colour is not important, its oily bits bolted to all Carbon mk2 that matter to me
I saw it for sale recently, probably on Ed38. Did PAB find it by chance - I know he's always frisking the place for bling! []
OMG!!!!! Sambo, you have just gone from legendary top bloke to drag queen with that pink-mobile. Good job you're sure about yourself ;0). That is going to be one silly rapid machine in the new shell. I applaud you!
