Turn the wick up a bit further and there is 500. At 25.5 psi it isn't "nosing over" as such. Give it 30-32 and it bust through that 500 kW mark.

You are such a boy !!! lol

When is the car finished, box in and going yet ?

Just look at the roof there will be a wheel chair strapped on it, but a red one, very fast :)

^^^ LOL @ the CRD fan boii! You've done nothing but defend them all along and are still trying to!

The result is night and day and goes to show who does the hard yards to get their customers the results they paid for! GTFO out of this thread!

you've done nothing but bash them like a complete twat.

I just don't sit behind a keyboard being high and mighty. Many people had differing opinions of what could of been the issues, none of which we would of known until the car was looked at by Jez. Now we know.

Not once have I defended them, just put another option of opinion, un like you, who clearly just want to voice your blind one sided opinion on the internet.

If you still think any business is successful because of poor customer service or unhappy customers, you're delusional.

I'm happy that Pete's car is doing what he wanted it to do now.

And Pete, not once have I said you've bashed them, it's people like Mick who have done that.

Mate, I know you have not said I bash them, it is over with, lets move on:/

As soon as I get it I will see if I can warm those tyres up :)

Don't bother mate, this 'garage wars' shit has always happened, not worth giving it fuel.

Might be asking you the same question Pete if you launch with that much mumbo. Not sure what the Getrag is good for.

Guess I will have to find out, if it goes tits up I can borrow Pauls 88 , until mine gets here:/

They seem to hold the power quite well... That torque though... Not sure.

Damn Pete, should have kept to a 2.6L... Pfft!

The way it was, I was never worried about the box, I will have to drive it for a while and get the feeling, hope I make it home, I know I will not be able to help myself ,lol

Won't be revving it to 7k and dropping the clutch I don't reckon.

You just never know, but I will get a little movement first before letting it go, smokem :devil:

haha, I will work my way up and see how it goes, just want to finally feel it pulling hard :whistling:

theres no war going on here, just facts and back to back comparison on the same dyno from one person working on it to the next

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
