I'm not looking for 350rwkw or anything I'm thinking go 300 for now see how it drives and 6 months down the track I don't have to spend sh*t loads more money to make it faster just a new tune. I have never been in a car with any real serious grunt - drove a GT a while ago with 320 flkw but it was auto didn't see that uncontrollable lol but 300rw in a manual will be different...I think in the not so far future I will go to the strip for abit of fun - anyone got tips on getting the thing moving?? TC or off??Chur Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its tuned well it should have arseloads more power everywhere. Be carefull. Most folk turn the T/C off as it can cause mechanical issues.Just feel your way at first. Even after you`re fully used to having more power, it still needs to be respected. These cars wiegh 2 ton and if it really gets out of shape generally you won`t get it back until you strike something solid.Having said that, you`ll love it. Enjoy.

I kinda have it in my mind that it will be kinda like driving it stock in the wet but in the dry all the time (if that makes sense - does in my head) but sh*tloads faster lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you done in regards to a clutch upgrade? Cant see any mention of it in your sig. Edited 24/01/10 12:00 AM by craiginmackay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutch is stock at the moment - I think I'll run it see if it holds for abit if it doesn't I'll go straight to a exedy heavy duty cushion button I think.

I gaurantee that 300 wont be enough for too long...330ish is the most youll safely get with the ba bottom end though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
