If i remember right his car is the stock tt that the 'budget buster' na/t and na-tt have to beat.... Car is looking naughty James! Bluewater tomorrow? :)

 

Ah okay that makes a bit more sense, yes come down and join us for chicken at BW :D

 

James is currently asleep in the back of a car in Italy heading for a Ski Weekend....something about a big Italian Man sliding down his slope? Not sure what he meant but he seemed excited when he told me.

You lost then! ;)

 

Pulley beat me.. But then he does have ~700HP! :D

 

The order was Pulley, Me, Scott/Dave(Not sure who was faster)

 

TBH, I wouldn't have minded if I had been stone dead last, the point of the feature was for the others to beat me anyway!

 

 

Been thinking on the plane back from Italy today, I decided when I get the syvecs in, and later on when/if I single it, I will be using the dyno solely as a tool for mapping.

 

What I mean is, I don't want to know what power/torque it makes, dyno numbers are just willy waving fodder really!When I drive it, if it's not fast enough, I'll make it faster. If it's fast enough for me/the UK roads...I'll leave it alone!

Yeah potentially...! Everyone with a big power car seems to either end up breaking it or always says they found BPU the most fun..! :)

 

If you saw the roads where I live mate... No way I can use 600hp properly here. I'm concered about turning it into something I can only properly enjoy once a year on Dragonball.

I think daves supra for me was the most mechanically inspiring, from his modded auto box to his custom supercharger install

Autos aren't "my thing" but I was very impressed with his ingenious ideas and work that he's put into his car

 

Love the look of the bulge bonnet also

True, I've exploded my trd diff , and now twisted my driveshaft

My engine mounts aren't man enough and I'm having to upgrade every bush and mount

 

Figure chasing ends up becoming all consuming

Fair play to Dave for doing what he wants, a lot of aggro for very little performance though.

 

What you see as "aggro", I see as challenge which, scratches my particular itch. :)

 

The project is undergoing final developments, work in slow progress and lack of somewhere to get on with it is the aggro for me.

 

It's a car you need to be familiar with to understand, next time our paths cross you can have a go and see what you think of it.

Did a bit more wiring tonight, one step closer to the full plug and play Syvecs package… :D

 

Cut up stock boost solenoid and liberated it's plug. Soldered on some wires and wrapped it all up…Voila, plug & play MAC boost solenoid.. :D
