st3ph3n Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Great stuff Gav. I saw the car yesterday when I was at Hypertech and it was looking good.
rapidcossie Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 glad it all went as planned mate! another quick scooby up falkirk now!! think we will ever see these star wars scoobies everyone keeps going on about?
rapidcossie Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 heard alot about them would like to see how they went one nite
wilky Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 No problem mate, let me get it run in first, lol Andy is giving me a MAFSIM tomorrow and a base map, then were mapping for power on the 17th. Cannot wait, Im like a wee boy atm. Whats your car, a cossie?
rapidcossie Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 yeah i have a cossie.. go about with the scooby boys fi falkirk... what power you expecting from the new build?
Gumball Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Excellent news Gav, i didnt realise it was today it was going in, i got my days mixed. sorry[:$] I was out at a meet tonight and heard that it went like a racing snake now !!!!! Hope you enjoy the new blower as much as i did with mine. Thanks for the best wishes for tomorrow morning. []
wilky Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I honestly have no idea, and I would be a liar to pluck a number out the air, I need to balance the torque with traction so if I cut on torque I can gain on bhp, its a case of "Ok thats mental, lets not do that, try something else", Im expecting to be able to run about 2.2bar wastegate permitting, which should be ok cos its been built for it not to creep. So I wont know until we go out. Whats your cossie running, they can really push silly boost. If there put together right they do exactley what it says on the tin, lol. I like cossies they GLF.

Cannot wait, Im like a wee boy atm. Whats your car, a cossie? Callum, the MAFSIM does the job excellently, I was your Guineypig last week. ---john---
frank c Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 What time is Gumball getting his car mapped ??????? Frank.

Callum, the MAFSIM does the job excellently, I was your Guineypig last week. ---john--- Great stuff, I watched your wee video clip of your car John, she really can hitch her skirt up and go!! what width of tyres are you running? Am I right in thinking they are 235s? Do you run spacers because of that? I would like to put a bit more rubber on the road. Callum
JohnSt Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Callum 235/40/17 on 8" rims. The back arches are rolled a little, if you get enough camber on the front's will go under, can't remembe the wheel offset. ---john---

I like cossies they GLF. my cossie runs 2.3 bar and made 410 atw at AVA. its pretty quick but not as good thru the twisties as the scoobs..
fai17 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Welldone to yous Gav and AndyF.. When you going to get it RR???
scoobyseller555 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 got a few things still to tidy up under the bonnet,need filter re-location kit made up for inside the inner wing as heat soke at idle is a big problem and BRAKES!!!!!as the brembos arent upto the job and r fcukd already. Gav
rapidcossie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 brakes are a much bigger problem than most people think when making your car genuinely quick.. the car now picks up speed soo much quicker that your brakes always get a hard time as you stopping from a much higher speed than before... one word Gav..... A.P you know it makes sense
wilky Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Looking forward to seeing you cossie mate sounds awesome.
