Swampy442 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 When do you pick her up mate?? Wasnt too loud then, will the neighbours kill you or not lol. Shame about the missfire but given the work you did not really a big issue Id offer a loan of the ignitor and Supersparks off mine for mapping, but theyre up here and the car's down there...

SupraDan24 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 is it me or does that still sound like its missing? The videos were shot by Matt while he was down at AFR, so at that point, it was misfiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallis Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hey up guys, had a mental day.....lol Picked up the car at about 11 oclock this morning got stuck on the M25 for 2 hours, nearly ran out of fuel, then got stuck on the M1 for an hour and a half, it was pissing it down all day and the roads were horrid. It took almost six and a half hours to get home however i bloody loved every min of it, the car is fooooookin bonkers running at 1.4 bar, the power delivery is savage in the wet! I had a fairly dry run for a few miles on the M1 and opened her up at about 70mph........and i honestly think a small bit of poo came out, as soon as the turbo came online i was spinning the rears, scary! My car was pretty bad in the wet before, but now its just insane....lol I am so looking forward to driving this in the dry to see what it can do (videos will defo be made) The drive is like stock, just loads faster, i cant belive what matt at afr has done, its so smooth and the spool up sounds like a jet engine, i took my bro out in it and shit himself and couldnt belive the sound coming from the engine, the exhaust sounds wicked too, really deep and raspy now on full wot. The massive sports rad and coolers have made a huge difference to the operating temps on everything, a great result on that front. Bad points from todays drive are the cars to low to get on and off my road and i almost melted the bonnet.....i didnt have the heat sheild on the turbo as i stripped it myself before i took it to afr, when i walked away from the car in the rain i could here water sizzling, i turned round to see it was the rain on my bonnet above the turbo instantly evaperating as it landed on it.......yikes! I quickly popped the bonnet and thank god its actually ok........lol Overall im completely over the moon with the car and cant wait for the roads to dry out so i can take it for a propper drive, i honestly dont know how these guys with big bhp keep the power down, its crazy! Will post some pics of the dyno and some of the finished car tommorrow, maybe even a video or two :-) cheers fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post the vids up shortly, nothing to exciting its still to wet for a proper test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 glad the you liked the drive home bud, wait till its all dry and you can fully get the traction down. Be totally different. I'll give you 3-4 months before wanting more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just thought i would put this little post together about the finished car. The car made 501bhp and 520ftlb and im over the moon with it. It honestly drives like stock with the auto box, Matt at AFR did an awesome job mapping it with 720cc inj and the AEM FIC, the cold start is perfect and even turns over on the key with no messing about and with iridium plugs fitted, which has shocked everyone. I really do have to give a massive thx to AFR on my build, there were a few issues which they had to sort out and Tommy is now my new found idol......lol Cheers Guys John, Matty, Tommy and not forgetting bear! What a great bunch of guys. Heres a Walk a round Video of the car http://www.youtube.com/user/mattshrewd#p/u/1/5fh7EvXmAO0 Here is a few pics of the dyno graphs. Heres a short video of a drive this morning, roads are way to wet and greasy so nothing to exciting, the cars all over the place on boost! http://www.youtube.com/user/mattshrewd#p/u/0/mqWvclR81Zc Heres a few pics of the finished car, covered in wet shitty dirt.....lol Thx everyone for the advise and for following the build, i have a few more plans for a cold air box build and to make and some heat sheilding around the turbo so will keep u posted. cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Looks great Matt, rear tyres look very low profile which is never good for traction, what size are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Cheers mr p yeah there 275 30's with an evil stretch which i didnt intend on! I had 295's on before with my 18's, i think i will smoke these first then get some new ones......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 car looks lovely dude, only thing id bin and change is the front number plate. try and go for the smaller one thats rectangular in size, would look soooo much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
