braveheart Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Well folks as you seen, I have completed a whole tranformation of the look of the white lighting now to finish off with the engine, had about 15 hours of driving the car since got it out the bodyshop, now have dropped it off to my engine builder, going Rotatated Turbo, with a slightly larger turbo and alot of other bits and pieces... that all the info the now LOL this next phase will take me me well over the 500bhp and roughthly the same tourque .... And that will be me no more modding after this..i mean it i mean it i mean it..... Regards Chris Edited August 13, 2009 by braveheart

RA Dunk Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 i mean it i mean it i mean it..... you think you mean it, you would like to mean it, but do you actually mean it?
braveheart Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 you think you mean it, you would like to mean it, but do you actually mean it? LOL no i mean it this time the savings have took a smashing over the last year on this car could of bought a brand new scoob for what ive spent on this car ..,, but hey thats the joys off modding after this it will be just servicing,...So hopefully will stay in one piece just need to wait and see if not might have to buy something stonger he he...thats not a mod that will be a replacement........
fai17 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 My turbos already gone lol to a certain modder on this forum.... I know

Edited April 10, 2009 by scoobysailor
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I know, looking at yours now mmm im jelous...you have done yourself proud, wife wont let me get rid now spent to much lol.... haha..........ok, how about mag to grid the wife, get a floozey.........bob's your mothers brother!!!
braveheart Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) haha..........ok, how about mag to grid the wife, get a floozey.........bob's your mothers brother!!! LOL mmmm mag to grid the wife that an idear hope she doesn't read this lol.. . Well the fun agian has begun as i said in one of my post my next batch off mods, V3 STI HEADS . (HENS TEETH) TO GET HOLD OF TWISTED TURBO UP PIPE/DOWN PIPE, FITTING KIT ROGER CLARK ITEM GARRET GT ?? WITH EX/HOUSING Roger Clark Item V3 HIGH LIFT CAMS INCONEL INLET VALVES 8OFF STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST VALVES 8OFF DOUBLE VALVE SPRINGS TITAINIUM VALVE SPRING RETAINERS TIAL EXTERNAL WASTEGATE COMETIC HEAD GASKITS SHINNY NEW 3INCH EXHAUST PROBS BLITZ NOT DECIDED YET !! ANY SUGGESTIONS ?? Just when i thought there was not that much to be done ...i was obviously wrong...i should of been happy with 470 bhp looks like the new car is out the window.. HE HE The fuel system will need to be built and Stevie Spent, 24 hrs building the last set on a certain Scooby Sprint car and looks the dogs balls, the joys, also putting in a fire wall of alloy..and again looking at loosing weight in too minds of stripping the whole car ?? mmmm this is a hard 1 as the car cosmeticly looks sweet in my eyes. Port new heads, shim up new cams and assemble them, strip out motor, pull heads, re assemble motor and do custom pipe work. The car will need some miles on it prior to mapping. Need to find out more info on the solaris ecu and see what's involved as there is addition to the wiring loom i beleive . So alot of work to be carried out.. and having another few bits and pieces painted just and fabricated .. to make all this fit.. Im sure it going to be worth it in the end and maby get in the 11 sec club Chris Edited May 2, 2009 by braveheart
frank c Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Just when i thought there was not that much to be done ...i was obviously wrong...i should of been happy with 470 bhp looks like the new car is out the window.. HE HEChris Hey Chris, How about *still* being happy with 470bhp and the new wideboy look and using it for day to day driving (when your home) and building yourself a bespoke Track car ? The white one is sooo clean and reliable and seemingly pulls like a train, why change it or risk damaging it on track etc...?? Then you could......take your time, get a shell for Steve to cage and build it from the ground up... Then slot in an engine of your choice for your needs.. Best of both ? Just a thought......... Mind you, it IS easier spending someone elses money

Mind you, it IS easier spending someone elses money Na, too much cash and work has gone into "White Lightneing". I think you should do the reverse of Frank's solution. That is, keep improving WL for track etc. and buy yourself another Scooby for day to day use as you wont be able to realise or unleash the full benefit of WL's potential. All this modding-talk is making me itchy!

Mind you, it IS easier spending someone elses money Well frank, cheers the thought has crossed my mind many times however, i have been building the car from the start to track it, i know the reliability will not be as reliable as it is now, however, that the pros and cons of modding and again if it breaks ill mod it with something stonger lol... I have another project in mind just waiting on a few emails.. This next phase will make it pull even harder and rev better ..that will be me on this car... finished project. Will take you for a blast in July bring a helmet. Chris
