the squiggle Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 What a bloody car After my wee test drive i think Jim is being slightly conservative with his power estimates Truly awesome machine Right up there with Callum's Millenium Falcon

Jealous? Me? NEVER! Except all the times when I am!
the squiggle Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 When he switched on the Anti Lag System when i pootled through the Clyde Tunnel at 20mph had me shaking like a leaf with excitement, so much so i had to pull over for a smoke Spool on the 321T is awesome considering it is still 2 litre capacity. Chassis feels so tight compared with a classic and it stops on a halfpenny, this car is making me consider my infamous Classic rules warcry. 15 out of 10 Jim
RA Dunk Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 next knockhill day is going to be good, just a bloody pity im going to miss it

Congratulations Derek cheers derek Terzo Neil said: well thats jimser away from mines by feck, driving his car is like having a pet doberman which is dosile, gentle when it hits boost it likes poking the doberman in the eye with a pen, it just wants to rip your arms out of their sockets, then batter you with them there is no lag, every single gear it like warp speed 9 and i wasnt using all the rev range it's bloody monster, you need 100% concentration, one lapse and it WILL kill you, jesus my heart is still racing and hands shaking glad you liked it mate,makes all that hard work worthwhile(not sure about all those burgers though) scoobymark said: well done m8 bet you can't wait to get to crail with the secret fuel yea mate that 95 ron is good stuff micra_wrc said: good news Jim.was following your thread during the build - you guys have done well. pleased that the car is running the way that you want it, take it easy till you get familiar with the way she handles. cheers imy,will certainly be taking it easy for a while.had a bit of a scary moment tonight with peter in the car,hope hes ok now i think he had a mild heart attack at the time!

fai17 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 A sticky moment keeps your heart beating m8....i'm fine but was not wanting to see anything happen to your car m8.. You know it is as you've been there already lol By god sake this car can shift......spool up from the 321T is fantastic and i can only dream of that from my set up but once my car is on song..it's really shifting to the limiter! Thanks Jim for the shot and it was totally sensor over load..you really need to be 100% to drive this beast.
G.T. Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 nice to see all your hard work has paid off mate sound quite a weapon enoy and stay safe

Good things come to those who wrap cars round lampposts? cheers for the reminder stephen,my only dilemma is what to replace it with if i do it again?
thewelsho Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 jimser said: cheers for the reminder stephen,my only dilemma is what to replace it with if i do it again? And I'll have an even bigger turbo!
st3ph3n Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 You were unlucky with that last one Jim, but it looks like it's worked out for you mate. Replacement - Subaru Brat with an 06 STI running gear swap.
jimser Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 TheWelsho said: And I'll have an even bigger turbo! ffs john give me a chance lol.but if i do then the 2.5 goes very well with a 321t blowing it along

jimser Posted May 26, 2008 Author Posted May 26, 2008 well thats the end to this thread. set 2 targets when sourcing parts /speccing the car,500bhp and a 1/4 mile in the 11's. made the 11's yesterday and the car on the road is probably 500bhp or thereabouts,dont know if i'll put it on the rollers to be sure but happy enough with the outcome.not bad for standard internals and still using top mount! til stage 2 bye bye
st3ph3n Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Well done Jim. I know there was a lot of time and effort went into planning the thing never mind the actual construction. All the research and careful sourcing of bits clealry paid off. You just need to learn to drive the thing now.
