Addymk2 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My opinion on what NEEDS changing?Exhaust, 2.5" straight through systemManifold because of the crappy OEM designECU (or a RRFPR and FCD combo)Relocating the air filterSuspension for a decent coilover set upWheels/TyresThe intercooler for an RX7/ARC topmount or a full on FMICThe seats for something opposed to the standards, they're as supportive as an office seatBrakes for at least uprated padsOnce all that's done it should be a half decent track tool!

TrisK Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 no a 1.3 being quicker than a ferrari is epic but it didnt blow it out of the water and completely destroy it as you are making out!!if the claimed figures were correct then you would have seen it being destroyed, work it out for yourselves...............(drivers/passengers weight taken in to account)Sock's - 344 bhp/ton355 - 248 bhp/tonnow correct me if im wrong, but surely a car with pretty much 100 bhp per ton more should have absolutely anniliated it no? I saw no anniliation in this video....................No I said they CAN blow bigger cars out the water. The numbers say it, multiple track videos show it.I just posted socks video as an example, as a lot of people find it particularly amusing that is a ferrari.Either way, enough of that in this thread. If you want to carry on teh dicussion, PM me and ill move these posts to the topic on socks video and we can carry on discussingWelcome to the club potvolkoffie, im sure youll have fun in your V Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hello and welcome Joris.The best bits of advise i can give are choose a tuning route/level you want to get to then buy the best parts you can to get there. If your aim is to go away from the stock turbo then find a tuner you are happy with and ask them what ecu they would recomend using if they are happy with the ecu they will get the best out of it meaning a better tune and more power. These cars are getting old now so where a new fresh well cared for engine will take the extra that a larger turbo such as a TD04 will produce, to get the best from these setups you really need to be looking at forged parts and an engine rebuild.

FERRARI v wee tiny starlet, bringin a knife to a gun fight so on and so forth. the 355 has got more bhp per ton than that and torquier. but my point is that the "look at me" cunt in his prancing horse got whipped by a young guy in a beeny hat drivin a 1.3.

Fozzie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) a young guy in a beeny hat drivin a 1.3. A very flattering description of Socks there, he'll be proud haha ;)And welcome along potvolkoffie! Edited November 23, 2012 by uberphil88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Uh OH here goes the video breakdown and analysis. Indicating, slowing down etc.. embarassed ferrari owner etc etcOT.no analysis mate, I didnt say owt about the indicating/slowing down etc just the numbers No I said they CAN blow bigger cars out the water. The numbers say it, multiple track videos show it.I just posted socks video as an example, as a lot of people find it particularly amusing that is a ferrari.Either way, enough of that in this thread. If you want to carry on teh dicussion, PM me and ill move these posts to the topic on socks video and we can carry on discussingI to find it amusing because that simplifies perfectly what these cars are about, but the numbers I calculated would mean the ferrari be dust in the video..........................calm down il argue this til im blue in face. FERRARI v wee tiny starlet, bringin a knife to a gun fight so on and so forth.the 355 has got more bhp per ton than that and torquier.but my point is that the "look at me" cunt in his prancing horse got whipped by a young guy in a beeny hat drivin a 1.3. lol, im calm bud and I can see the whole point of the video so dont think im missing the point but its all about the claimed figures again.....oh, and the ferrari has a kerbweight (dry) of 1360kg plus then the 2 peeps in the car i guessed at the whole weight being 1510, change that into metric tonnes which is 1.51 then divide horsepower (375) by the 1.51 which equals 248 bhp per ton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I wouldnt call that blowing it out of the water.......................but yeh if tuned properly, at 350hp a glanza has a much better power to weight than a lambo so I think that says it all no a 1.3 being quicker than a ferrari is epic but it didnt blow it out of the water and completely destroy it as you are making out!!if the claimed figures were correct then you would have seen it being destroyed, work it out for yourselves...............(drivers/passengers weight taken in to account)Sock's - 344 bhp/ton355 - 248 bhp/tonnow correct me if im wrong, but surely a car with pretty much 100 bhp per ton more should have absolutely anniliated it no? I saw no anniliation in this video....................Quit clogging this guys thread with shit....Thanks.PS, Welcome mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
