wow nice results bro, all that hard work paid off

 

Thank you guys, its been hard work for sure but worth every second of it. Want to add this build I dedicate to Simon, he was curious how the car would perform with the setup I was thinking of so I saw it through for him. God bless you JGM

 

I just love that big bad *** front Mount.. makes it look like a monster

Attended the charity event on the weekend for forget me not childrens hospice organised by Maz's friend, car is booked in for a detail so the underside of the bonnet will be sorted :P

 

Glad to see it has all come together for you Banny

 

Looks amazing under the bonnet.

What's it like in terms of drivability / usability compared to how it was before, all sorted suspension and braking wise but running ish 330bhp on the standard gearbox. obviously considerably quicker now but how much does that add to the experience?

I know you're a power junkie and use to 500+ but is it really usable and fun or do you find yourself having to be careful all the time as opposed to just planting it and being able to control everything when they have less power.

 

In terms of drivability/usuability pretty much the same as before, only things that are different is that clutch is a lot firmer and needs revs when setting off and car it a bit lumpy below 2k rpm. Fine tuning the mapping would fix the lumpy issue but as its not a daily it adds to the experience of because race car.

It spools more or less the same as the VF28 and just pulls a lot harder, so very easy to use and expolit the power same as it was at 330bhp. Car feels solid and no issue in using the power at all.

On another note on the local roads this would annihilate my old car due to how spooly and responsive it is, yes above 6.5k the old car really would come into its own and show its muscle but this package is a perfect road car

 

Looking great! You competing at TOTB mate?

 

May do the Saturday Joe once Andy and the lads have put some finisthing touches to the car but I'm away on the Sunday

 

Had the car cleaned, still deciding whether to color code the morettes, satin black or carbon dip them

 

Uuuuuuuum, may have to save a few more pennies.

Lets see the underside of the bonnet then.

 

underside of the bonnet needs more work to get it clean, as the dirt is quite stubborn

 

just paint it you scruff, couple of rattle cans should do the trick.

 

You should be doing the main event with that monster mate, never mind bootcamp

 

Right guys vote time, which look would you go for 1,2 or 3? Cheers Dubzy for the photoshop wizardry

1.



2.



3.

 

1 without doubt. Don't look good in white IMO

 

1 looks best!

 

3 for me, out of those, alternatively 4. Grill trim in black with black mesh top and bottom, then black around the lights. The first 2 look unfinished to me almost like your waiting for some part that got broken, or stolen.

 

+1

Martin

 

no.1 for me

but with the grille from 3 in black aswell

 

1 Banny

Looks a right beast

Let me know if and when you're looking to sell it

 

Cheers everyone satin black and possibly with a black grille too

Going to be honest Harry I will probably sell it in 6-8 months

 

Perfect timing for me, keep me posted

 

Like to say thank you to the fellas at Richard henry motorsport, for doing tidying up the engine bay and doing some jobs that have made the car that bit nicer to drive

engine bay ic pipe sprayed wrinkle black, satin black header tank and custom overflow tank



Boot mounted washer bottle (used a newage ic bottle, cheers matty @ mb)



Also massive thanks to my bro Maz for taking charge and doing a boss job of the oem stickers, something I was dreading as I didnt want to mess it up lol

 

Those wheels make the car. Great work makes me want another type r

 

I prefer the silver Morettes for some funny reason and minus the grill. Looks cool

 

I agree the wheels really complete the whole car, Kas the look really seems to split people there seems to be no middle ground lol
