Sounds like your chuffed to bits ian with the k03s and new remap! We'll have to meet for a drive sometime. Mines running sweet at the mo just need more funds to purchase fmic and sports cat. Been past ricci concept a few times and always seems to be closed so possibly no local RR days?

I do appriciate the car for what it is but it just dosnt suit my driving style unfortunatly. if it had 200bhp but a non turbo higher reving engine then it would be perfect.

and maybe a bit lighter and with out so many bloddy computers on board.

shame really cause its a lovely car but shes gota go.

was bored after finishing work, so i've been out in my car in the north east for a little drive.

just a little aimless drive, but it put a smile back on my face, i love it. forgot how good it is to just drive and not have anything to worry about, no where to go nothing to do expect drive.

anyone else happy with their cars at the minute and wouldnt sell it for anything??


Funny you bring this up. I did the exact same thing the other night. Was on my way back from a mates house quite late at night and ended up enjoying the drive so much that I detoured about 10-15 miles out of my way. Can use the full rev range (7200rpm limiter) late at night too and the power just doesn't seem to drop off one bit. Felt immensely fast, couldn't imagine what an IHI would feel like.

On the downside, it feels like I'm constantly spending money on silly costly repairs (like window motors etc).

I hate mine. But i'm keeping it for some reason probably because i'll never make anywhere near the money back on it that i'[ve spent.

I've been without it for nearly a month and a half, its had the engine ripped to bits and i've got more parts than Forbez waiting to go on it at the moment.

So, you might see me make a thread like this soon, or another thread in the parts for sale section because i'll be stripping it. lol. Could go either way.

How long until it's back on the road Phil?
I'd be positively depressed if my car was off the road for that length of time.

Speaking of which, does anyone else get really, really grumpy when something goes wrong with the car? I must admit I'm terrible and cop the right ache, similar to rag week for women.

lol. Similar to rag week, awesome.

I'm the same, i dont know why tho as stuff breaks all the time.

I'm waiting on my scat rods from the US and the engine can be put back together. So any time soon. Got wilwood 310mm 4 pots, spec stage 3 clutch, lightened and balanced flywheel, H+R ARB's, colour coded bump strips, stealthbox, sub, amp, grooved rear discs and a quaife diff to go on. lol. But they could be up for sale if the car doesnt 'feel' right.

Jeez, seems to be lot of work to do there. I hope it feels right after all that, lol.

Is all this in prep for a bigger tubby?
