lambertpig Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 hi all. just picked up my new car. love it !:ecstatic:THANKS to those of you who e mailed me regarding sale of your own cars. sorry i have not got back to you thanks anyway. this site has been a great help for me in deciding what car to get i went along feeling very clued up. buy the way it was a close call between my car and member bolts(aerotop) car which i veiwed on the same day it really is an awesome looking car mechanically perfect and seriously fast. hope i made right desision .any way what do you think? 96 uk spec car has been repaired but to an unbelievable standard. auto 49k miles full history lightly modded hks catback pipe induction kit eibach lowered. new 19" split rims after much research on this site i have purchaced thor fcd cooler plugs and decat pipes from whifbits and a fmic from ebay £336. my car has always ran standard boost and intend to go to a max of 1.2 bar.should be fine on low mile motor and uk turbos.shouldnt need restricter ring but may need boost controller. hoping for 390-400 bhp at hubs and long term reliability. car is already faster than my previous merc e55 amg 354bhp.

terawua Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Black.... the best colour! (apart from the hassle of keeping it clean!) Get yourself some facelift indicators though and she will be looking very nice indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Well done. Don't think just BPU will get you to 390-400 bhp though... maybe someone will tell me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flat4_ire Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Well done. Don't think just BPU will get you to 390-400 bhp though... maybe someone will tell me otherwise. bpu as in , full decat, fcd, walbro, 1.2bar boost should see minimum of 360bhp at flywheel am i correct guys??

Gordon F Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Very nice - welcome along. Also , check out the East Anglian meets in Gatherings and events. There's normally one every month or so at a pub just outside Norwich, on Sunday lunchtime. Hope to get to a few more myself this year!
