Hi Mark.
Yes, 2.5 built by Api. Only run it on V-power, and all the "Whiteline" bits were fitted at the same time. Ive fitted thier front and rear strut braces too (more for show than performance) since the pics. Ive got some PFF7`s and Ap 6pots to fit soon and then I will get the geometry re-done. I wasnt happy with who did it last time..

 

Exlnt my spec c with a 2 litre makes that trq on a sc42 I was hopping for around 480 ft on a 2.1.As you have a 2.5 thought it would have made more trq.What boost you running buddy?Also what heads ?

 

I only had the rolling road done as some people were asking what power it was making. As you know, you can get rolling roads, and then you can get rolling roads....Its not my thing to be honest. Its more how it feels to drive that floats my boat.
Boost is 1.6 (I think). David at Api may know, or Bob who did the map on the Simtek. The headers, I think, are called the Spec II gen "tubular" type. Again, David could confirm this.
Dont my answers appear vague???

 

Vague yes as i asked what heads you running not headers lol

Mate that car must fly fair play to ya get it on track and it will fly past alot of 600bhp cars with laggy rotated set ups But i would say that .

Nice one keep me updated buddy.

Mr Rawle works his magic again lovely curves Cliff

 

Double post fool

 

Bloody laptop!!!!

 

As Big Fud "resurrected" my thread, I may as well do a small update.
Front and rear Whiteline strut braces have been fitted, and I got a set of PFF7`s off Scott at Scoobyspares. Got them dipped and primed,

Then painted them.

Now for some "stupid" reason I left one of them on top of a machine at work. It rolled off and ruined the paint job, so I took them to Ryan at C&K, Leominster (Prodriverules) and he re painted them (much better than my attempt might I add)

Aim to get these on this week, and then Ive got a set of Ap 6 pots at Api ready to fit very soon.
I`m also near completion on the reverse scoop project. Ive got one fitted on my car,


There is one fitted on another car, so I can get some independant feedback regarding quality/looks/etc.
All I need do now is drive the car a bit more

 

Them wheels look deadly **** I love em amazing job, how much was scoop cliff ??

 

Sorry mate, Heads are just STI 8`s

Cheers. I will have him fit the "Alcopop" or whatever its called, upgrade soon

 

DIY job Mark, here..
https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...ogressing.html

 

That's the one. Just bought a Simtek for mine so gonna get the Alcopop too

 

whats this alcopop and why not keep ya original ecu ?Its well upto any job .

 

Alcopop,Alcatek....same thing aint it??
Wasnt too sure about the standard ecu with regards to maf, so we opted for simtek.

 

The scoops are very good Mark,I have painted and fitted one to a car for 'testing'
Here is a close up

 

I just had andrew carr map mine mafless a/l l/c 2 maps inc meeth map runs like a dream mate,Was no need to buy another ecu as he said the standard one is more than upto the job,You got to much money

Yes his scoop looking good want 1 now though and he said i got to wait lol

 

Forgot about this thread, and just seen it again, so i thought I`d do a small update. PFF7`s fitted with Yokohama AD08`s and I got some AP`s supplied and fitted by David at Api.

Harnesses and the Prodrive Kevlar carbon seats were done some time ago, but I realised Ive never posted pics...

Would love some Tein coilovers sometime to finish it off, but its time to enjoy the car now. All Ive got to do is pluck up some courage to get it on a track

 

You would hate Tein, Unless you have taken a liking to driving around with all your joints separating over every bump AND your eyes out of focus with all the jiggling.

BC coilovers every time and not quite 1/2 the price fitted.

David

 

Agree with David here.

Teins are very hard. Would only suggest for track!

However, your car seems to handle very well as it is Cliff. Seems to turn in very well and rotate nicely. BCs would definitely enhance that more though

Get it on track though

 

Looking good Cliff.

Where did you get those seats from bet they weren't cheap?!

 

If I didn`t know better David, I`d think your trying to sell me a set
Im lazy, and I like the idea of adjusting the ride from my seat. Thats the only reason why Tein`s appeal. I will try to get it on a sprint day this year.
Got the seats off another "scoobynetter", and they wernt cheap, but have you seen the price of them new. Im toying with selling them but I know I`d regret it so I keep putting it off..

 

Love the seats Cliff, they look great. I wonder if I would fit in them?

The car is looking good, have to agree on the coilovers I've got BC's with the softer spring rate and they're fantastic for the price and give a better than factory ride.

 

Cheers Ty. They fit me, 14+st, and my eldest 15+st, so unless your xl-large, you`d be fine.
If BC`s did a "auto-adjust" kit from inside the car, then I`d be interested. The whiteline kit Ive got is great and Ive no complaints, but my younger 2 boys both moan about the ride. I may just have to buy a classic and leave it standard..

 

14+st!?!? You fat ****!

 

Car looks great with some well thought out mods for sure.... Another vote for BC's from me also as they were fitted on my old new age as Tyron has with the road springs, brilliant ride it surprised me just how comfortable it was.

 

I don't know anyone who adjusts their suspension settings once they are how they like it. So the ' option ' is a waste of money.

Unless I was doing something wrong [ probably ] The car l had with Tein fitted with the Auto-adjust, defaulted to a preset setting every time the ignition went off. A right PITA. So every time l set off l had to fiddle with the damn control box to get it back where it was tolerable. It was never 'right' it was only ever too hard.............

Most sitting room coffee tables have more compliance than Tein..............

IMO he adds quickly.

David

 

Saucy....

 

Cheers

 

I hear what your saying David, thanks. I was unaware that they reset back to "default" every time you started the car (live and learn). I`ll leave the car as is then, cause like I said, I`m happy with how it rides/feels.
Ive always fancied a classic, and I`ve seen a type-r that I might get, leave standard and ferry the younger boys around in that then.
Thanks again David
