Iain, can you please try to convey what 600+ feels like? I'm intrigued.

Feel free to use as many analogies as necessary, so as to make us 'understand'... :D


But if you can't be arsed, then no worries. :lol1:

The first squeeze of the loud pedal is a bit like this

Ha! Perfect.

Let's hope Chewbacca doesn't represent your better half though, eh. ;)

And another upgrade. Martyn's 2.1 with a fabricated inlet manifold, multi injector set up and a bit more puff. 10.2/165 mph at the weekend.

Well done Pete.

That's going to start and break a lot of parts when pushed :). I ran mine on the 2.35 at 2.3bar and it broke stuff all the time,

358bhp - 394ft/lbs at 1.25bar on v power.

Cheers mate :thumb:

Cheers mate can you post me that new badge :)

What's happened to your car mate ?, what did it break ?
Tbh steve this is just a race fuel/drag cal setting, worked fine last weekend without managing to break anything :)
I use a lower boost/cal on the road, 660bhp ish :thumb:

Awesome figures them mr H,credit where credit`s due pal you certainly know how to build a great car,well done dude.:thumb:

Thanks pal, get that X5 sold and make me an offer for it:eek:

My car gave up on a practice lap at Hethal and it's been at stevens since, I'm thinking of building an older shape impreza for the track and one that I won't care as much if I put it in a barrier. I'm too scared of damaging mine to go balls out. Mine also started breaking the gearbox so you have this to look forward to :D

The X5 is going after crimbo mate,its an awesome machine but its just too much car for me and what i need.

Think id kill myself in that beast of yours pal :lol1:,plus i need summat to fit the kids in,must admit i am tempted tho.:norty::thumb:

Kids fit fine in it :D, full std sti trim in it now...

I've just built this thing. Had it mapped last week. 643hp at the wheels.

Will hopefully have it on a drag strip in a few weeks time.

^^^ *shakes head* Nutter! :nono:

Why ?

Sorry, that was meant to come across as throwaway jokey - and not disapproving. :thumb:

In that, you boys and your pursuit of mental power -- hence, "nutters". 'Good' nutters, though. :notworthy

Comprende? :)
