clutdav Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Howdy chaps, Just had the pleasure of a passenger ride in the Blue Thunder. First thing to note is Craig you are a headcase, but more importantly the car is superb. It seems that BHP Developments and Andy F have worked their magic on the car and created a MONSTER. I have to admit I was surprised at how progressive the power delivery is - I was expecting a monumental kick in the back but it pulls so smoothly it was un-nerving as first. The car pulls so cleanly in all gears and to say it is strong is a BIG understatement. This car has the potential to make a fool out of very expensive/exotic cars. And having said that the car retains all of the standard car's around town driveability and road manners - apart from the rather firm ride of the teins. Craig the motor has a crackin spec sheet now and you should be rightly chuffed with her performance. The metallic rasp of the exhaust notifies crazy passengers of the impending right-foot "DOOM" about to be unleashed. However the noise subsides at higher revs and is not intrusive inside the cabin. And Craigs latest purchase will add another fruity addition to the soundtrack. Now the question is will he be satisfied with the car now? Answers on a postcard to "Mac'ing Nutter". It's only a matter of time me thinks. A well balanced car that is insanely quick and can scare the most hardened scooby fan. Just remember to take the Pampers Ultra Dry. Dave
craig mac Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 [H][:$] Thanks for the review Dave, Will i send the bill to your wife for the stain you left on the seat[], The one on the windscreen and roof i thought were a bit much, you got a little excited[][][][] Its strange, others who have not had the pleasure of seeing/driving or indeed pax in the end product are already quoting that they can mod certain individuls cars to creep ahead of it...............[][] Maybe that will change when they see how effective the workmanship and expertise that has been injected into it first hand. "Its going to be a monster" was one quote.....Lordy Lordy what have you created [] Doctor Frankenstien Glad you enjoyed it Dave, I do every time i drive it[] Craig ps the 150mile to the tank is fun too!!! LOL[] Thank you for expenses[A][*-)]
Gumball Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 sounds like a powerful machine !! what mods did you do to it or are you keeping it secret???
craig mac Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Its "Classified Top Secret" [] Just the usual mods, Slightly[] larger turbo, some nice new pipe work, a few fuel bits etc etc and Mr F's magic wand to top it off. Not as extreme as Peter's i would not think, but you never know.... the Top mount is my restriction at the mo, but as the car is a year old today (happy birthday car) and warranty still valid and it is......honestly....i will wait till the 3 years are up before it goes further Craig
RA Dunk Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 wouldent the bigger turbo remap and other bits and bobs kill yer warranty anyway craig?
craig mac Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 No Ac!d. It pays to have friends in special places[] Craig
