Cool

Just to remind everyone!

The program on Men & Motors that I managed to get on with my car starts this Friday at 10pm.

It's called the Reverend Bob's Torque Show and the series is on for 13 weeks. Each week they do a different pair of cars and I was told I'll be on about week 4, but I'm watching each one just in case

In case you have no idea what I'm on about, I got pitted against a supposed 350bhp Supra.

You'll get to see my Scoob get 314bhp and have its nuts screwed off on the rollers.

Shame I didn't have my HKS headers on then, I'd have whooped his ***!

Enjoy!

Rich

I'll watchout for that!

In any case a Supra will still have more power to the wheels .

Hi Mark,

Like the new name , you'll have to send me some pics of your new beast.

Next on the list is HKS headers (tonight) and then maybe FMIC, but I'm not sure. If HKS are to be believed, I should be nudging 350bhp once everything is setup right (I'm running more boost now than I was on the program).

WRX,

Supra would have more to the wheels, he's got another 300kg too!

Dunk,

I don't know what you mean!

Rich,

your right, power to weight ratio (at wheels) figures are almost identical!

Regards

PS: Mods to the Supra TT were?

He had HKS Hiper full exhaust system, twin HKS induction kit and HKS DV. I was told he expected around 350 bhp and to say that mine was 320-330 to make it a bit more exciting

I had Blitz cone, full decat, boost controller, lightened pulleys, fuel cut defender and air fuel adjuster!

Should be a good series actually. There were one or two VERY nice cars around.

Cheers

Am suprised the Supra owner hasn't had his cat gutted! They tend to yield 70BHP with basic performance upgrades, i.e., filter, decat, exhaust!

I assume he's still running OEM boost aswell? I guess with another £100 spent, on an FCD and a bleed valve, he should easily be pushing 400BHP+.

Anyway, i'll look out for ya on the telly

Regards

Rev Bob was filming at the Crail Thrash last month as well and showed heavy interest in the Scooby posse.
Dave Brown from AWD in Perth took the Rev himself up the 1/4 and i think TeknoPete gave an interview.

Gonna have to get someone to tape it for me now ITV Digital's gone belly up
