Paul Whiffin Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Like that steering wheel, very smart. Does it come with the paddles as a complete unit? No the flappy paddles are seperate so can be used with any aftermarket steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Looks great and it's personal taste on the knob. Can it be fitted with the supra one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There's a club referendum being held about what gear knob to use, didn't you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.wild Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 As Chris says just waiting on the result of the referendum almost there, had some traction issues and was waiting on tyres to be shipped and decided to have the Os giken 1.5 lsd fitted. At the final testing stage and ready for dyno. Sure Paul will be along with any further updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott.wild Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Has it been mapped? Yes, all mapped and ready to go. Ryan has been in to help iron out a few things and just had the uprated clutches fitted because of too much torque, to quote Paul "it's like a rocket ship" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I vote 'out' with the Bimmer knob (ironic how that flows off the tongue) and 'in' with the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.wild Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 What were the figures? It's made 616bhp with 479 lbft torque. Will upload the results from the dyno later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobos Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 What's your first impression on the DCT? Is it working perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.wild Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 What's your first impression on the DCT? Is it working perfectly? First impressions are how best to describe it....E46 Bmw M3 with SMG (only comparing to this because i have owned one) but way better and faster, predictable gear changes, throttle blips on down shift, i have to admit i was a little tentative when i first picked it up but after 40 or so miles it just feels right, lots of different settings available with DriveLogic and Syvecs settings. It's early days yet and this is being used as a daily driver so plenty of town and motorway driving coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobos Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Awesome . Any chance you'll be on the European mainland with your Supra in the next week? Or any chance to visit you for a shotgun ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Absolutely no offence meant, but what was the idea behind going for the DCT conversion if you were only achieving >600 whp? I know the cost of this conversion is astronomical so it just leaves me wondering why the expense for such power goals, instead of say sticking with stock auto (up to the point where it is on the limit allbeit) or going for a built auto such as an SRD or Boostlogic type setup which could both handle that type of power/torque?

el_bandido Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Because gearing is just as important as power handling capacity, would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott.wild Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Because gearing is just as important as power handling capacity, would be my guess. Correct, also the end goal is to have a built engine. Getting used to the new power and setup and then i will look at getting the engine built and a bigger turbo, most supporting mods are in place now and the gearbox with the uprated clutches should be more than capable.

Fair enough, as said, genuinely interested! Looks like a great car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
