Stonkin Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Morning guys and girls, Was good to meet you all last night, you were all new faces to me, apart from Ro, and as has been said, a nice bunch of people. Think Suzanne found the conversations quite hard, she said to me on the way out that she didnt have a clue what everyone was talking about! bless her Clarkey, thankyou very much for taking the two of us out, really appreciated it a lot. This was the first time i had been in a single car and it was good to fully understand the workings of it, and equally have several bits demonstrated at the same time. What made it better for me, was that your setup is exactly what i would be going for. Mine being an auto, a BL T61, greddy 3 row and emanage blue would suit my car perfectly. I'm gona give an opinion on what i saw and felt. I dont want you to take any of this the wrong way. Being a passenger in a car will always make the car appear faster, i feel only by driving a single could i give a more accurate view. I would really like to know the power that your car was putting down last night as it may well change my opinion some what. Your car was definetly quicker than mine, the power delivery was very different, as i'm used to more of a sudden power delivery right from the bottom of the rev range. With yours it was more of a delay below 3000 and then a sudden surge around 3500/3800. But dont get me wrong, when the power came on it was very strong. The sound of the screamer pipe and the wastegate was absolutely awesome, nothing else like it. I could see me having to strap a shell garage to the back of the car for the first few months as it would just be too adictive! It would have been great to have been in the car at 1.4 bar instead of 1.2, as i'm sure the difference would be huge. As soon as you get a remap due to the fmic and get the clutch sorted i'm sure it will be a totally different beast. The only thing i would say is this, experiencing the car at 1.2 bar last night, and knowing how my bpu car drives at only 1.0 bar (need a boost controller to up it to 1.2) could i honestly say i would be over the moon after spending £8000 or there abouts, erm, not sure. If i had spent that money, i would want to be dam pleased with what i had. Not just, not sure. Now dont get me wrong it was a very fast car, but part of my thoughts for writing what i have, is down to this. How often and where would i use all this power to warrant having such a large bill. It proves the fact to me, how good value going bpu is. bpu is achieved very easily and will make for a good 400hp car, which to be fare, will kill most things on the road. If you respect the car and dont thrash it everywhere, you appreciate the power far more when you do use it. For me as well, i'm at a stage in life where i have other priorities, such as purchasing my own house in the next couple of years instead of renting. Unfortunately we all have to have a sensible side. That is me talking as well, not Suzanne! So all in all, yes i enjoyed the experience very much, but it has also made me appreciate the car i currently have very much and for now, am happy to purchase all the other parts required to do this conversion properly over time to spread the cost. Such as intercoolers, gauges, brakes etc. But as i said, dont take this as me disrespecting your car Christian, i'm not at all. The demonstration last night i know was no where near the true efficiency of that turbo. But it was still an absolute blast, and the noise, well, thats virtually worth the cost all by itself. But for me, it has to be when the time is right, as opposed to getting myself in dept to be able to achieve it. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
