Well my main worry has been that when i fit a big turbo that car will become a lag beast. So I have looked various options to reduce this. VVT heads were an option but rather expensive. Im just going for the theory that the shorter the intercooler pipework the less there lag will be. Purchased this, experts will notice the subtle difference with this over a normal inlet manifold

Also sold all peugeots I owned the 206hdi, 306 diesel and 306 Rallye and bought a decent runabout

Also bought another Impreza which will be used for a bit of fun till the other Impreza is finished as it may be a while and I miss the burble No pics till i come back from offshore on the 30th

Good to see you have bought yourself a half decent runabout now stay away from those trees!

Yes reverse it is basically the only thing it was going to be if it's not standard

Yes would have been my better half driving it

[ciaranrb5]

Well I have realy missed the burble while im building my project so bought my self this

Used to belong to coulty on here.

Rough spec for those who don't know

STI V2

Forged 2.1

TD05/06 20g

3" decat

Running Apexi ECU

Brakes AP racing 6 pots

Straight cut PPG gearbox to be fitted in due course

I have been having a few issues with emmissions but today it finally passed the MOT

Car requires a remap due to me changing from a Mafsim to a Z32 MAF.

Mapping on monday to suit this and a 20% methanol mix

Hoping for high 300's which will keep me happy till The other car is finished

Only thing getting done is the front end is getting a facelift with a set of Morrette twin headlights.

[trackhound]

Glad to see she passed emissions in the end Ciarain

[rig-pig]

Yes finally passed yesterday and 3" de-cat re-fitted within 2 hours

nice golf and scoob m8, might see you in a scoob at some point

You never know i may actually make a meet with an Impreza

[ciaranrb5]

Well decided on a 10% methanol mix. Mapping went very smoothly as always with Andy F. No ideas of actual figures? any ideas folks? Forged 2.1 with TD05 20g 550's with full 3" decat standard heads and mapped for 10% methanol on an Apexi running a Z32 MAF?

Car actually scares me now it's bloody fast up to 10*

It will do to run about in till the track car is finished

Brilliant !!! great thread !

Did you not ask Andy what he thought? I should have thought he would be rather well placed to tell you..

You are looking at 400+ I would think.

No didn't ask him kind of forgot was to busy asking various other questions about the actual project

[rig-pig]

nice one m8

[ciaranrb5]

Well finally getting somewhere new project name R500

Runabout

Managed to break 5th gear, lasted a total of 400 miles after mapping hopefully have the PPG box fitted so I can have a play at Crail this weekend see If i can set a new Personal best, 14.6 to beat recon I should manage that

R500

Managed to source subframes and hubs for the 2 door. These will be getting fitted to get the shell rolling so it can go for it's cage.

Also sourced a GT30R turbo, another closed deck block which will be going for a few alterations, another set of wheels so now I have 3 sets of 17's and 2 set of 18's why i don't know

Will get cracking the beginning of next week and WILL have the car fully ready to go for the cage before i go back to work on the 23rd

It probably won't be going to get the cage till 2011 as an expensive time of year coming up

Have decided now to stow the RB5 away somewhere safe and it will live to fight another day as it's far to rare to break into millions of bits.
