I love porsche :O

Porsche Carrera GT as a "cruiser"? Not with that clutch and suspension set up! It's hardly a comfortable car to "cruise" around in. You can look really cool as you cruise past, bunny hopping away from standstill and fillings falling out your teeth over potholes :O

I could easily go an all-Porsche garage though.

Track Car: Carrera GT

Daily Driver: Cayman S

Weekend Cruiser: Boxster S

Street Sports / Targa: 911 Turbo S

People Mover: Cayenne Turbo

i don't think the suspension and clutch will be that bad, i will tell u how it feels IF i got a chance to own one :O

Anyone want one of these in their garage?  :O

hahahaa "The initial payment should be around $320,600 for the FOB price, plus $1,000 for our service fee - other payments would not be due until after the vehicle arrives in Australia." :lol: :lol:

I wish I was rich :O

...ah, a wise man :(

Only i would trade the TT SRT Coupe for a TVR Sagaris

...and im with RONIN09, fark the daily driver...all these puppies would see the daily commute :)

LOL...GTRs are gay :)

quote Roy: (Only i would trade the TT SRT Coupe for a TVR Sagaris)

I thought about a TVR Tuscan S 2 instead, but the 1000hp twin turbo viper would be just too much fun, with performance figures like this, who could say no!

0-60 mph: 2.9 sec.

0-100 mph: 5.9 sec.

0-150 mph: 10.9 sec.

0-200 mph: 19.9 sec.

Top Speed: 255 mph

1. Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT (sunday car) the sound of one, phenomenal.

post-23724-1137931479.jpg

now after looking at those, im now speechless.. lol

have the fixed the bonnet on the sagaris yet? or does it still flap around like as if it was about to come off at 100km/h?

Umm, i dont expect old Jeremy to think off his own bat, but what do you expect from a fibreglass panel, subjected to the forces that a bonnet sees at high speed?

Can you name a car with a non steel/alloy bonnet that doesnt buffet around at high speed? Curious to hear form someone here with an R34 Vspecc II as dont they come std with carbon? I suspect they still flap around, i know footage of Jap cars at Tsukaba do it (spellling?)

I know every car i have been in with a carbon or fibreglass bonnet buffet.

So i will gladly take one, and id rather the bonnet flop around a bit, as opposed to putting a heavy steel bonnet on :cheers:

Dont diss the TVR :)

Never one to diss the TVR also Troy but correct me if I am wrong (flame suit on) but wasnt it only the 34 GTR Nur that came with the carbon bonnet from factory like Geoff has as Troy has a V Spec II and I didnt think that did? B)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
