Faaark, who'd you rob bro? That's some serious coin been put in to make that kind of power within 12 months! Most of us spend that much over 5 years if we're lucky (unlucky?)

Great to see however! Love it.

Had it 3 months and finished :woot: and to get all of the gear ready would take some time, good planing and picked the right company to do it .

He might be one of those hideous blokes that saves money for a rainy day :yucky: haha

Or robbed a bank!

Planned and executed well. A good shop and obviously a good relationship.

Must eat at you peter when you thought you had also taken the right steps.

Good fortune and a good result.

There would not be many if any others with this experience.

:thumbsup:

haha, thought I had it covered, but it did piss me off big time at the time, but I do not live in the past , there is always more new shit waiting to happen :)

But ,the way this was done should be how they are all done,choose your builder (first check out their build times) know what you want, get the bolt ons etc and then check if the builder is ready to start on your build. Oh, I did it all that, well except the builder bit,lol

I do not know if this bloke just happened to be at the right place at the right time ??

Workload would play a part.

But still yours was fairly quick too.

Living in the past is a mugs game, your right.

Anyway this build looks great.

Well , his was a month, mine was over 5 months and I had everything there ??

Looking at his Dyno, would you say it is a laggy street car or am I missing something? I know it has .2Lt more but up to 5000rpm it is not doing much? I struggle with most Dyno graphs, some blokes just take a glance and can tell how it will drive.

All I know is when mine did not kick in until over 5000rpm it was a nightmare on the street.

I love white Rs :)

I understand that, marvel at what he did in 3 months and the results are sensational :)

But it is also a street car, what about the first 5000rpms, as I said when I bought mine it did nothing until 5000rpm + and at 140kph@150kw that is similar to his graph, even with the .2Lt more ?

He has done 5000klms on the street and loves it :wub: , i drove home 350 Klms and wanted to put a match to it on the first day :yucky: !

So I must be missing something the way I have read his graph and would like someone that knows to explain it for me :cool:

You need to take a chill pill. It's not your car so you don't have to be happy with it.

Not everyone is hell bent on response this and response that

I already said it was fantastic and I do not give a shit how someones else's car drives, to each his own :) I love what he has done, jealous that he could get it done in a month and think his car looks great, love white Rs ??????

That is not what I was saying, he said it was good to drive as a DD and my car at a similar speed and KWs was really shitty as a DD from idle, my Quad clutch did not help.

"I struggle with Dyno charts, I wondered if I missed something, or the extra .2 Lt made the difference."

I was hoping "he" would answer and let me know how it all works in together, not your " RESPONSE " with your medical advice, it is a bit warm so I might take a chilled beer instead :)

it can just come down to how its tuned.

i had a t88 fully built 26 done by Croydon and it drove like shit. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone again after a simple build took forever. They are never in a hurry to do anything.

Took my car to JEM after an outrageous quote by Croydon for simple upgrades. Got them to go over the entire tune and it drove 1000 times better after Adam had tuned it

Thanks Chris

I know shit all about this stuff until I get some answers to questions I ask and then, I still know very little, except advise to take a chill pill and that really helps, school hols are a pain :).

I could never understand anyone wanting to drive a car as a "DD" the way "MY CAR" drove , I was crap , it had a T78 tuned by CRD for top end!

Before you blokes throw rocks or chill pills, I am just asking, how can this car be a good DD .Have a look at what I asked before saying I should PO?

I thought SAU was for asking questions and I cannot wait until the owner gets back on the thread, probable had an Easter break or a phantom :)

The reality is it isn't a good daily driver for everyone. You wouldnt like it Pete, I probably wouldn't like it.

There's a fair wait for the power, but when it comes it would certainly be fun.

Can't wait to see some quarter mile times. That's when the car will shine.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
