,thought this would be the usual boring polish thread.

pete/richie-why not take this to a track day,although,pete you better have a few excuses ready .richie was at one of out r/r days and got 238bhp/flywheel,147bhp/wheels,243lbf/torque and a standard MY00 got 218/123/221 .

T-UK -

pete/richie-why not take this to a track day,although,pete you better have a few excuses ready .richie was at one of out r/r days and got 238bhp/flywheel,147bhp/wheels,243lbf/torque and a standard MY00 got 218/123/221
I was only running 0.7bar overboost (11.25psi) and 0.5 normal (7.5psi) that day. I have just had a UniChip fitted which is to be running 1.35bar overboost (20psi) and 1.1 bar normal (16psi)

Should be a bit more interesting

Am meant to be going to a Rolling Road day on Sunday but my clutch is now ready to pack up after 50,500 miles..... Need to uprate it to match the extra grunt.

T-UK, sorry mate I wont be going now due to the clutch problem as it will probably knacker it totally on the loaded rollers


I'll keep an eye out when the next Scooby one is that your going to and tag along with that when its all working again


Thats 2 RR days I have missed out on (s'posed to go to last Jap one) due to things like this at the last minute.....

The BHP doesnt come into the equation when you are talking 'real world' car verses car!!!

My superior skills will blow away the opposition Cavalier drivers are not known for their brains!! tee hee

AND as I said earlier, first bend and we will be picking up bits of Vauxhalls Finest

I reckon that IF the Impreza exsisted, as Richie claims, then it was obviously driven by a 'Girlie' - did you notice if it had Gold wheels or not??

Pete

shop around for prices on diamondbrite as there is a lot of flexibility on prices!! it is awesome stuff though and helps keep the car clean as dead flies etc just dont stick to the paintwork!!!

Glen,

For what its worth, if you can find 'Blue Coral' it's A1. The trouble is trying to find a stockist as it has gone out of fashion. You can spread it all over the car then wipe it off, normally 10 minutes max, although follow the instructions as if you put too much on it is a buŁŁer to wipe off.

Good luck,

Ed.
