nothing special, 360/340, 20% meths, great fun car, sounded like you either needed to of lifted your right foot or it wasnt mapped properly, anywho, all done now, lots to be said for an out of the box car, no issues, just normal driving.

 

lol umm.... ye prob more to do with thoes dam heavy work boots i bought, should have taken em off i guess lol.

new blob is ok, but a **** map on it tbh, got a ecutech on it but only running 258 have been thinking of poss going to a vf34 just to get 300 or 320 ish, but no more.. that will be fine for me, would like just a little bit more.. dont want to go mental with the cash tbh, so 300 could poss keep std tmic and injectors..... poss - what u recon? will have to see. it is v nice to drive though, and have just ordered new splitter, then fitting carbon spolier and fog covers, so should look nice once done

 

Go full decate, cold air induction could get near to 295.

 

Came with decat downpipe have just changed prodrive box and fitted afterburner decat ctr section and can sounds loads better now also has a goddam aweful hks filter that bangs against pipework every time i boot it might put airbox bac on with nice filter then remap only need to replace ecu cos of friggin ecutech.

 

No you dont need to change ecu, I, and all the open source mappers can over write ecutek, if they have paid for the additional software

 

oh ok, would you suggest airbox or keep filter then?
ive got the std box, so easily put back in.

ps u still dont sleep then - 5.43 post

 

During the event I'll be in the unit parked up in the 'esses'.

 

Either, standard airbox with the de-snorkle and a panel filter, or get a cheap cold induction off ebay, there good enough if you want to hear the turbo flutter/dv.

may need a little tweak on the Map, either way, i know a man that can

 

Good o Jon, hope to catch you up there then, never been to a Hill Climb, really looking forward to it, you never know i may even get hooked and have a go.

 

nice 1 see you there

sweet on tweek umm as for de snorkle

 

I used to do it and loved it.


It gets very addictive.

This is me at Prescott.

 

wahay!! old 205, what a cracking car they were..

 

Anyone know what difference 205/40/17 tyres haave over 225/45/17??

just bought some new wheels with tyres, only just realised they are smaller width than my std ones.....

any ideas what the diff will make?

 

Merlin the smaller tyres will make your speedo run under due to being 40% of 205mm opposed to 45% of 225mm .For example when your doing 70 mph on your speedo you will actually be doing 65 mph on the road - which is good for the speed cameras.

 

cool, as long as there are no handling issues its all good with me

midnight to the rescue once again

 

just a thought, will my standard wheel nuts be ok to use with the new inovite termacs

 

You might find that ride might be a bit harsher as the 205's will have less rubber on the sidewall,which is why I opted for the rarer 205/45/17's for my classic.

 

bo**ox didnt realise that, will bung em on tomorow and see how they are.. tut, oh well can always resell them again

 

.
Any body interested from worcs/herfd in any of the jap car festivals this year.
the next two as i see it are japFest and JapShow.

Japfest is 12may £20 on gate,one day only , Castle coombe,near? swindon.

JapShow is at Santapod,northamptonshire 17thJUNE £25 inc camping.

other options exist for either event , and its same distance about 80miles for me to both.
.
Dunn Know if anyones interested for either of these ?

 

tbh mate i did the japfest 3 years ago and i thought it was the biggest load of pants i had ever been to... so wont be up tor that i recon, not been to a japshow, so no idea if thats any good?

 

tbh mate i expected some comments like that. if it was so good they would atrract litteraly thousands of folks on the second year of doing it. its probly a commercial money spinner. We are doing wimbledon and Goodwood this year and now PRESCOT hillclimb with this group and camping with the kids maybankhol AND a narrowboat in Sept , maybe thats enough.
how the new car feel , now that youve hadit a couple of weeks. and the tyres any comments mate??

 

cars running nicely cheers mate.. actually handles better than my sti with all the "nice" bits underneath
missing the big bhp though if i am honest, but you cant have your cake and eat it i guess. i would like to put it up to 310 ish at some point in the not to distant future, will keep an eye out for a better turbo... vf28 / 30 / 35 maybe.
got to fit the spoiler this week, only looking like rain every day this week, so may not be able to as i need to dril a few extra holes in the boot, not mucking about with all that and lining it up etc etc in the frickin rain.
also looking to get the windows tinted sometime soon...
other that that very happy with it... oh missing my sti seats BIG TIME as well.... sigh.... happy days

 

Hay guys are we going to go do this tunnel Run thing that wmi are doing next month, could be a laugh i recon and they have invited all clubs to attend

what you all recon then cos im up for it

 

I 'd love to go but I'm at Donington that weekend.

 

All welcome

 

oh thats a shame dude never mind we will have lots of fun for you mate


cool c u there

 

The more the merrier

 

midnight mate, got my pinks should i have them flow tested before fitting do you recon?

 

By right you should do , to be 100% they are working correctly , but being as your not going to be pushing the 550 cc to there limit you could check with the previous owner when & how long ago they were removed(how long have they been sat around)
For what it's worth I have fitted 3x sets of 440cc to 3 earlier cars with 380 cc injectors and never flow tested any of them and all ran spot on.

 

they done 50k and been off the car for 18 months mate..
what you recon?
