Gumball Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Afternoon, This morning i went for a kiss and a coffee at Peters place and was offered a paxlap in the newly modded "Chinese400" The Greddy FMIC is the horses hot one !! the piping doesnt snake over the fuel lines and the manifold like the bulky illfitting APS kit and hides away under the block before appearing behind the crash panel thats still there and didnt need cut away like some kits. The 3"inlet hose looks the dogs too along with new drager system Meercat have made him. Im sure he will tell you about the rest anyway. Performance- The rollerbearing turbo working with the bigger jectors and fmic pulls the car from 3800 all the way to the top in a ferocious manner which shocked me as my head spun in the passenger seat. The old blood leaving the head as fast as that tends to let you know your in or driving a weapon. The car is faster quicker than mine was and im glad that Peter has managed to get his mods together to produce such a weapon. As ive said before it seems everyone is pushing to get as much as they can these days and 400 or 500 is becoming easier to achieve. The acceleration is axilerating, the prowess into bends is awesome and teh overall package (the car i mean ! steady) is a true example of another STI8 that is knocking out more than 400bhp. Well done mate. *review like that in the new york times gets a free meal* see you tomorrow[] Link to comment
craigwrx Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I am jealous, would love to be taken out for a spin in a weapon like that [Y] Link to comment

oobster Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oobster did certainly turn up for a paxlap[] Hope i didn't frighten you too much[] My car felt like a 1 litre on the way home [] Peter's car is without doubt the fastest accelerating car I have been in. Ever. It's awesome. [Y] Link to comment
z1000 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 You've got me thinking now, wonder if i can increase my overdraught ? 300 + is great so 400 must be awesome :-) Link to comment
the squiggle Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 After another fine meal at the Kwang Tung i was handed the key to this chariot and invited to go try the new set up Andyjdmsti and myself doddled out to the local by-pass and enjoyed the way it pulled from old granny speed to F-14 with afterburner on full. The now characteristic Meerkat howl was in full evidence as it howled past 4000 whilst flowing 1.7bar out the rear end. Nicely setup and nicely mapped would be a good description. Even the low down pop was enjoyable when you blipped the throttle to pull away Only bad point was the damn indicators are the wrong way round Link to comment
col666 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 So the 400+ beast is on the menu? Just have a meal and get a free shot for dessert? If i hadnt had so many beers I would be down there tonight[] Link to comment
bigdavie Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 aye thought i saw your car there earlier ! 3 lovely scoobs ! Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Only bad point was the damn indicators are the wrong way round arent all scoobs like that though? took me months to get used of the indicators being on the left side of the wheel lol[] Link to comment
andy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 After another fine meal at the Kwang Tung Shoulda said you were going. I'd have been down there like a shot. Boring night doing webby crap and a top nosh at Pete's would have done the job nicely. I shall now sulk. A lot. [] Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Myself, Ally B, Bandit and April were down later in the evening for some grub at Peters. The grub was as usual fantastic. After dinner I got a short blast in the Chinese400 and it is without a doubt astounding. The wastegate chatter is positively trouser stiffening. Link to comment
ANDYJDMSTI Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Nice sweet power delivery [] Forgot how comfortable they are too......damn it, i want mine back NOW!!! Music on the stereo was rather gay though and you may want to remove the womans knickers from the glove box. Bit of a surprise when i was manning the defis!! [] Link to comment

imprezapete Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well like Irish Al I drove Mr Gumball's chariot of fire and I was amazed. For Gumball to be singing your cars praises like a gospel quires it must be miles better []<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I still remember the day I met you for the first time on the May run at AWD and the play all the way from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Perth to Elgin between our cars [] If I remember it was still standard that day! Well done Peter [] Link to comment
