Posted 23/03/12 11:24 AM Author Share Posted 23/03/12 11:24 AM Grip is great Worm. As I plan on keeping the factory wheels in place then I am fairly limited to tyre size. Currently I have a 240 wear rating tyre on the car in 245/35/19 so that is pretty soft rubber really.The boost has been intentially kept out of the car early on. It's so easy to drive really fast. Point, hang on real tight, stand on it and GO!Wheelspinning 2nd feels quick when in reality it isn't. Powering down, straight and hard with very little wheelspin is really quick. It'll skate a tiny bit through 2nd if provoked enough but I'm not looking for a wild car like that.Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best start to finish, result, quickest/best post , mod I've read. Good work. Your tuner has done a great job, all went sweet too. It's all money at the end of the day. And the right choices help. Tuff car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 28/03/12 09:35 AM Author Share Posted 28/03/12 09:35 AM Cheers mate!Running a calc on rwhp the car is making close to 540rwhp and then allowing for an 18% loss through the driveline this car as it stand has over 600hp and still looks outwardly completely factory standard.It doesn't sound stock getting anywhere near it on boost and I still find people near the car looking around as they can't work out where the hell the war is coming from Love it!Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 2m 18d Posted 28/03/12 09:27 PM Share Posted 28/03/12 09:27 PM I find it amazing the engine and trans can handle 600hp! Why is this motor so tough? The crank etc. And they don't need headwork either? Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
