rossyboy1 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Big thanks to Russell at bhp and Andy F for making my car sound like a horse [] (a side effect of an FMIC) My Apexi PFC was mapped today at Port Seton after some late shifts put in by Russell to make everything just right for the day. Sadly my clutch couldn't take the pace and only 1.2 bar could be out through it. Perhaps in hindsight trying to get a 13 year old clutch on 53k miles to take 300 + bhp wasnt the best of ideas [] It is a good bit faster though and it was desperate for more, as I could feel a hell of a lot of extra oomph before the clutch gave up. I will be back to Andy with a new clutch though and a power run will follow soon afterwards []
fai17 Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 That's great news and get the clutch sorted and it will be beast[]
WUZ Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 The car certainly now has all the bits required to make a GREAT B-Road car. Thing was trying to spool up on me at 2500rpm for gods sake[6] Watch out for this thing on the Aberdeenshire back roads. Steer clear and give it some respect. Russell
Boyakasha Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 He's some boy is Russell, ps you learnt how to fit a turbo yet
WUZ Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 He's some boy is Russell, ps you learnt how to fit a turbo yet It's not the turbo fitting apparently.............its the fitting of the Inlet pipe I seem to struggle with. . . . . . . . . . . OR SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD[] Russell
Carl Davey Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Nice one Ross, seen the pictures of the car in the other thread on here and the silver machine is looking well. [H] Be good to see what figures it makes with the front mount.
rossyboy1 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks Carl, haven't seen much development with your new toy......or are you leading us into a false sense of security []
Power Junkie Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Try get yourself to the next meet so we can all have a look,[]
rossyboy1 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 You have no idea how much grief I would get off my other half if I went along. Its already called "that F***** car" I will find some way to pacify her at some point though I'm sure []
WUZ Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Funny that............my wife said the same words about your car as well! Strange breed these females[8-|] Russell ps - Ross - PM coming your way!
rossyboy1 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 PMSL [] I'm not surprised. I doubt I'll be on her Christmas card list! []
