  2. personally i cant understand it....

    I have shit tires and them being 175's doesnt help either.....

    Running a 2.0litre turbo around 300HP with enough torque to pull a tank and i only have problems when trying to nip off the line fast... apart from that i can drive it completely normally without spinning....... Good clutch control off the line and you shouldnt be spinning mate....

    honest opinion, i blame you, not your car.....

  3. @labotomy.... cheerz for that, yeah was always going through my head "is this worth it" and all that, but when its complete in your hands its a great feeling :p

    @boostJUnkie.....nice one mate :p .... Well just to say parts are a squeeze to change but everything including gearbox to cam belt etc can all be changed without droping the engine out.... its all manageable for a normal mecahnic to work on... thats partly the reason for why the build took soo long... i wanted it for road use with least hassle as possible..... im lucky i had such an experienced tuner working on my car... And no, didnt need to jig nothing out the front end.. the chassis has not been touched to prevent any loss of strength through the shell.....

    @FishyJNR...... tell me about it mate... this is a very mild set up... when a few loans are payed off and worked on traction issues as they are and sorted out the car a bit more im looking at a fully forged rebuild running a bigger turbo set up, aiming from 400-450HP....... will see how things work out, not saying anything just yet.....

    Thanks for all the interest guys :p

  4. Ill join once i get some money in my paypal account, but 191 members already so thats £1290 in a day...how the hell much is hosting? lol

    but not all those members are "paid users" ......... go to members list and shows who is payed and who isnt......

  5. jay, what the fuck?

    paying to FUCKING POST?

    even for members that have been with the site since the first fucking incarnation?

    please, thats absolutely rediculous. just a little nest egg for macker and yourself eh :p

    even the elitests of the mk4 supra forums, gtr owners club etc allow general posting, but obviously payment needed for sell anything, to charge for just general banter, is ludicrous.

    luckily uksc can only benefit from this absolutely rediculous situation.

    Jeez it aint the end of the world, have an opinion by all means but fuck me, you sound like you wana kill someone over it....

    no1 forceing you to sign up and pay...... So dont.

  6. my view on this....

    Its an excellent idea me thinks.... Your not paying to post on a forum your paying to be part of a knowledgeable and helpful community that are there to help when you need about your car or any information for that matter..... replied are instant pretty much and alot of friendly people....

    They've helped me out soo many time and vise verser, for a mere £7 a YEAR which is fuck all unless your a stingy bastard i think its more then worth it.....

    Theres already 80 odd members on there and its only just started up today.... will have to see who truly appreciates a good site.......

  7. power to weight is a wonderful thing...I'd love to see (read meet) this car on a track to see how it handles with the weight up front.

    That's a lot of work gone into that, good luck in hitting 300hp with those mods (although the Motec might pull you through...they're the best there is) A rev3 lump stock will give you around 225 normally, I'd guestimate you're running a healthy 280 or so. The beatiful thing with your car though is that you have the torque but also the tuning potential the 4e doesn't have.

    I'm also in Surrey (Dorking area) would love to say hello, reminds me of the pickup in my old MR2 after all the mods were done, flooring it in any gear, the pickup was crazy :(

    thanks dude....

    Yeah once ive got a few more "handling/chassis" modifications and the new wheels on im gona take it to a track and properly give it some stick... but honestly you cant notice the diffrerence in weight at the front, even round tight bends.........

    yeah heard great things on the motec, its the way to go, as it can adjust soo much on the car, really bring out its full potential.....

    225bhp? the rev 1 and 2 have between 200-225bhp and the Rev engines produce 245bhp "according to stats and also many people have said there cars made similar power on stock engine including my tuner.... also said with these same mods his cars produce around the 300HP @ 1bar boost........ who knows though aie, you could very well be right, i do have to get it on the dyno and she what shes pushing :p

    yeah would be nice to say hello, im probably going to be at the bluewater meet this weekend if your there? have a little chat....

  8. @ idrees....... When i raced that Lamborghini Gallardo pulled 1 car length from 20MPH-110MPH..... He was in front and put his foot down before me, i had 1 extra person and all my back seats/rear interior.... the car is stripped out now easy minus 50KG... if we had even people now side by side i would pull on him, guarantee you :lol: AND that was the "07" gallardo **520HP** when we meet i'll take ya for a spin mate, no probs idrees..........

    @Nick_P.....Cheerz :lol: Yeh mate it is very tempting but i try and think about petrol... it really drinks when throttled, and also is a menace around normal roads... torque steers everywhere, the cars always angry lol.......... soo i just try and chill out and be safe most of the time :lol:

    @Sparky....... thanks alot mate. yeah these wheels where ordered 4 months ago :rolleyes: ... the distributer is takin forever... should arrive very soon, ive spoken to the guy, coming from California as they gave me the best price for these...... ahh you do know its still FWD not 4WD mate..........

  9. Hay all........ to answer a few questions about my car......

    the engine comes stock @ 245BHP.... Its running:

    Motec ECU Managment system

    FMIC,

    HKS filter,

    Aussie downpipe(decat) complete striaght through exahaust......

    Running 0.9-1BAR boost about 14PSI...

    hasnt been dynod yet but its running an easy 300HP with a hell of alot of torque to pull me through :rolleyes:

    The conversion owes me in excess of £13K including the the 4 Pot Willwoods that are waiting to go on, just waiting for my 16inch Volk racing TE37 to arrive so i can fit new brakes..........

    Any questions dont hesitate to ask :lol:

    thanks..........
