It's a nice Xmas present to yourself. So what are the future plans for it, I'm sure you've thought it through already.....So how's the beast going. BTW I love the 4.11s, should have done it months ago.CheersRobin.←Simon knows it's going to happen ... just not the timing. Don't know the full extent of what I'll do just yet. I still have a spare turbo motor and heaps of spare parts, so there's quite a few options.The blue beast has a big boost leak, and goes back to Nizpro for the CV upgrade in 3rd week of January, then it'll have to go to Warwick for a gearbox refresh.Glad you like the 4.11sBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MUCHKW Member 350 Member For: 18y 8m 4d Posted 29/12/06 10:11 AM Share Posted 29/12/06 10:11 AM Nice one Brian bet u have some Big plans for this one Dal.←Ta, the big unknown is what the auto can handle. I'd expect to progressively increase power, and have it up to around 400rwkw within 6 months. It's rated at around 900NM capable, but hopefully there'll be more R&D on upgrades for this box in 2007. These days making the power is easy.... quite a change from our early days of 2003 when we were talking about what we could do with piggybacks.We can now also get the cars to brake and handle well... and I can do a back to back compare of Alcon & Brembo 6-pot/4pot combos.Brian←Hey Brian,Congratulations on your new BF ZF F6 ... they are great to drive and have plenty of potential that's for sure! The body kit, suspension, brakes, rims, and interior are a massive improvement over an XR6T.The brake comparo is a no brainer ... your Alcons will be the best due to the front 2 piece rotors equipped with alloy hats which have superior heat dissipation abilities over the 355mm FPV cast iron rotors. My Harrops have way more performance than the FPV Brembos mainly due to the rotors larger size {381mm} as well as being a 2 piece design. Aluminium alloys transfer heat almost 3 times quicker than cast iron! All the best for the New Year BrianCheersJustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year to you also.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested that youngest son ask for a XR6 turbo as his company car, as I know you guys are turbo addicts as well. I think JP300+ should go a F6 as well.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
