BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 6d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 22/06/15 06:52 AM Author Share Posted 22/06/15 06:52 AM (edited) Awesome weekend with the car and the best part is, I didn't break anything We had a big car cruise here in Radelaide on saturday night -- think there was close to 1500 cars there -- and I was really impressed with the fuel ecomony figures ( I had a bit of a 'play' with a few people during the night ). When I refilled the tank on the way home, even with all of the playing, the Fuel Log app on the phone showed 12.8l/100. Not bad aye!Because I asked for the boost to come on slowly, the car does feel quite a bit different to Bizkets car ( and what I remember Stigmata's car being like when I drove that ages ago ). Biz, with the same turbo upgrade, has heaps of boost as quick as possible and his car really does throw you through the seat into the back of the car..............such a brilliant feeling.........where as Roxy doesn't give that feeling. She's more ------- subtle. More ------ refined I reckon and pulling a bit of power out of her has stopped the 3rd gear tyre chirp - when the tryes are warmed up of cause.She has a bit more lag time sure, but when she hits full boost (20psi), the speedo needle moves so quickly it suprises the crap out of me every time.Since I broke the cv in the half shaft, I notice a slight vibration around 100kph + so I'm wondering if something may have been thrown out of the cv and done something to the Drive Shaft. I'll get a bloke to have a look at that when the left Half Shaft is replaced -- gunna do that just for the 'peace of mind' factor.Also, finally met ripped6 (Jared) on Staurday night out at Modbury. Big HP cars always have a gathering around them and when I recognised his number plate and went over to find him to introduce myself, there was probably more than a dozen people talking to him about his car and what a car it is.....that looks soooooo nice mate. Good job Edited 22/06/15 06:53 AM by BenDoCo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 4m 11d Gender: Male Posted 22/06/15 05:16 PM Share Posted 22/06/15 05:16 PM Was good meeting ya as well Don, I would have liked to stay out longer and had a good chat with ya but after my car spat all the coolant out the overflow tank, which I believe was due to the head lifting, I figured it was best to get it home rather than go to the next stop :( Hopefully I'll have it sorted before the next cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 6d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 23/06/15 10:42 AM Author Share Posted 23/06/15 10:42 AM ^^ Head lifting? Ouch. Let me know if I can do something to help mate------------------The engine light just came on with the 380 tune installed and wouldn't clear when I stopped and re-started the car so I flashed the 400 tune into her and that cleared it. I'll give the tuner a ring tomorrow and let them know about it.Brett said that I probably wont notice any difference between the two tunes but -- Oh yes I can.It's a bit more punchy down low and seems to hold on a bit longer as well. Can't wait for AIR to run another street meet. Speaking of the drags, I went into my local Repco to order the Left Half Shaft today as I will swap the original out before it hits the quarter mile but hollllllly crap, they are friggen hopeless at the local shop so I organised with a mate of a mate that works for them in Adelaide to organise it for me. Now I remember why I don't deal with repco.I'm also gunna have to take the rear muffler off and re-align it coz it's vibrating something shocking at cold startup lately.........so friggen annoying especially since the car idles so nicely now that the injectors have been rebuilt.
