Very excited I think tomorrow night will be even harder wait should be done friday. i want to get down while there still mapping it so i can see what power its getting. Hopefully there will be no hitches.
got car back now omg its quick they had 229bhp to start with but was way to smokey for day to day car so backed it off to 217bhp with 511nm torque which is 369lbs torque very happy with clutch picks up so quick
You dont sound as excited as I think I'll be!
You pleased with it then? How's it sound?
i was on way home and it was sunny still so could have a play. was on a short bit of road and a scooby was on my arse. came to a round about and put pedal half way down and got around roundabout and planted foot to floor and scooby was gone in cloud of diesel smoke lol then it started to rain. in the wet you dont want to push pedal down more than half way else it wheel spins like crazy. think i shaved half my tread off lol. clutch feels so smooth more like a sports car clutch. engine sounds more sporty to revs so freely. in whole feels like a different car altogether.
Are you going to Bristol Volksfest tomorrow fella?
Sounds like it's good then!
no didnt know about it mate. have you got an upgraded dog bone mount? as i think you will def need one.
Nope. The only thing with those bushes on the diesels is, it makes the car rock a fair bit. It holds the engine much steadier, but the engine then shakes the car instead! So wont be going for one unless I need to.
Just to compare:
This is my ride with the old, long "non sport" gearbox, you have shorter gearbox.
The car has about 205hp/410Nm

With 500Nm you rip your gearbox in pieces when you accelerate with WOT, and/or(when gearbox holds up*g*) should be WAY faster than seen on my video...
