Chris Bailey Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Nice man, George's old car? Look forward to seeing how you get on with it? Does it still have the stock auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks Chris, yes it's George's old car, still stock autobox, going to leave power how it is for a while until I go manual box, just planning some nice exterior/interior upgrades maybe some performance mods to put in the garage for future use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Whats it like having a stock autobox and stall on a single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 To be honest mate it drives like a dream, a few very minor issues, needs a pulley changed but only a few issues with the box, sometimes it judders as if it's switching maps when you're very low revs 1st gear crawling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G9RGE Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Nice to meet you Nick and I wish you all the best with the car, glad you finally have one now and look fwd to seeing its progression. Drive Safe :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 You to George thanks for selling me a beautiful car, sorry I had to spoil your fun by taking it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Finally! Good stuff, was only looking at that car the other day, hope it persuades you to keep auto, have you tried it in manual mode yet in anger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 No i haven't yet to be honest annabella, i'm so happy with it at the moment i'm just taking it all in + i think automatic will stay with me for over a year/2 depending on what pops up manual parts wise.

Annabella Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Having a play last night, passed a van in manual mode 2nd on a short straight, good enough surge to pass, and there still for engine braking to get round the immediate double bend and flat out pulling away from last bend. It's a good box when you faff with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoGlE Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Nice one Nicky! Get yourself booked onto supra pod[emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) nice car, a great buy looking at the spec its only the stock autobox limiting the power to what it is too, look forward to updates Edited July 19, 2017 by ShawnPreece (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I WISH i could of come supra pod but i come back off holiday on the 22nd so i JUST miss it + i think the injectors may be limiting my power too, so when i've got some funds, the autobox and injectors will get swapped out.

Sheefa Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Good man and glad to see you got one. Great turbo too good for 700+ with the right transmission (built auto or manual R154/V160) and some 1000 cc bigger injectors Take your time slowly getting to know the car before flooring it please.

Frank Bullitt Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The injectors may be limiting my power too, so when i've got some funds, the autobox and injectors will get swapped out. I wouldn't have said 750cc injectors would be causing a restriction, I'd put my money on the 3" exhaust or a conservative map due to running the stock autobox.

Correct on "conservative map due to running the stock autobox" Was going for longevity until I went manual, but that didn't happen lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Congratulations on the purchase. Take it easy and get used to it, would be a shame to bin it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sad when George told me he had sold this. Same day I took him out in mine for a catch up. Enjoy the car it's been well looked after and lovely car. Take it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Don't worry guys I'm being very sensible in it, especially for now, as soon as it started raining last night I headed home off boost dancing to my music instead of smiling to wastegate chatter. As George said it's mapped to save the box, so it looks like once I've forged/refreshed the engine in a while I'll look to go manual. I'm absolutely extatic with the car still, smile every day when I think about owning one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Looks to be a nice car and a good spec - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ok so a little update, I've given the whole car a clean inside and out, engine bay, interior panels off etc (6 hour detail)... first thing I did was replace my spark plug cover to a whiftbitz carbon cover. I've had to replace my auto gearbox as the previous one failed, so I got a replacement from lee at SRD which I then took a journey down to David P and had it shimmed! Whilst that was happening I was on the phone to romain trying to sort a date for a remap, which is now 13th September, so I thought I'd take advantage of the long wait, replaced the 3" HKS silent with a 4" whiftbitz single box exhaust, I'll now be doing a few other bits and bobs before the map so romain can really work his magic on the car.
