Cheers Bud!
Lets hope that Spencer meets the dealine for the mapping! |
This really is going to be another stunner :cool:
|
Getting closer then :more:
|
Cheers Worzel! Lets hope so!
Certainly is creeping up CJ, quite busy now finalising other add on specs and ridding my system of impulse buys LOL! |
Ridding Your System of Impulse Buys! :lol:
I wish we all had a pound for every time we had said that. ;-) |

Nice to see someone doing it right Spook. That will be a lovely pice of kit when finished mate, good on yer......... and it's a P1 :doubleup:
Only 700 left world wide now and I know of 3 that have gone from a nice road car to a stripped track car. Are you coming to the 10th Anniversary at Prodrive ? I have not checked the list by 80 P1's have confirmed and I have booked the Holiday Inn at Banbury (Nr Prodrive) on Sat 8th of May. P1's all meeting up in lay by then all 80 are driving in convoy to Prodrive to meet up with other clubs. Holiday Inn - Banbury (Reception 01295 234567) |
Cheers Fudge! I can't wait to drive it again, it feels like i have butterflies in my stomach 24/7 for the last month or so, the wait is agonising! Maybe i'll pop down to Tonbridge one night and meet up in an effort to clock up some running in miles?
I think that will be a plan Clive, what time are you heading up there on Saturday roughly? could get a convoy together and tie it in with a bit of grub and a few beers? Will speak to me mates who are along for the ride and sort out sleeping arrangements! |
Yeah that would be good Spook.
Regarding Sat 8th I can arrange the time around you and your convoy. I reckon if we get to Banbury for early evening, then have a meal and a few gallons at the hotel :-D Feel free to use some milage driving to Tonbridge. I can take you for a spin to give you an idea of what 560 is like in a P1. |

I think i may just do that! See if i can get something booked hotel wise in the next week or so, so its all confrimed and i can begin to look forward to it :) |
Just got off the phone to Spen and the car won't be picked up till the 9th April now :cry:
There has been a delay with mine and FatBoy's P1's due to some extra work required on some inconsiderate git's car... *cough* Coalville *cough* :fight: But on the plus side, i have just declared everything with the rebuild and turbo and exhaust and suspension etc etc etc to my Insurance companu and guess how much it went up? £59.00 Good old Greenlight, they are just Brilliant! I have however, just bought me some BC Racing Coilovers to give them something to do with all this extra time they now have on their hands :yeah: |
Thats a bugger about the delay mate.
But blinding news with the insurance. And also cracking stuff with the coil overs. :10: |

The car is awesome!!! loads of attention to detail taken on the engine bay that you wouldn't get elsewhere. As a bonus, spencer suprised me with parallel fuel rails and system fuel filter with all the braided fixings :doubleup: i'm still noticing little touches now... CPA really do know how to build an engine And oh my god the sound... the sound is AWESOME!!! The flutter you get coming boost gives me a constant semi and i'm only taking it to 0.5bar so far :nod: god know what its going to sound like at almost 2bar! the next two weeks really can't go quick enough.
So i got to CPA at about 10.30, and checked out the work they'd done, after much drooling i had to go get some tax for it so i was off into town with a fresh MOT certificate. returned and gave it a wash ready for bob's arrival. bo arrived about 3pm and get strait to work settig up his kit, and off we went. got onto the ring road and checked the fuelling etc and all was fine and dandy. Had a scary moment though when my actuator pressure hit 1.4bar before bob yell'd STOP!! :???: Someone has wound up the actuator i believe as i should have only got about 1.0bar! Mapping went very well though and Bob really did seem impressed with the overall standard of their work. Then off i went home on the motorway getting funny looks as i was crawling at 50, then accerating up to 70 then back to 50 again for almost 140 miles on boost off boost on boost off boost change gear change gear, it was hard work! Here's some pics of the engine, i will get some better ones when i have the sun on my side. ROLL on 23rd with LC, ALS, and 450bhp! :doubleup: http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010404.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010397.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010398.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010401.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010427.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010406.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010408.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010428.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010418.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010419.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010424.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...9042010425.jpg |

Cheers Guys, i am very chuffed with the end result! Still on standard box but for how ling is yet to be confrimed lol!
Final purchases now made ready for Friday! RCM 80mm induction trumpet as I will now be MAF-less, and all the rest Lateral Performance Supplied – Walbro 290 High Flow fuel pump Nismo 740cc Injectors plus flow matching 3 bar MAP sensor 74 hours and counting! lol |
Looked an absolute gem in the flesh. Was great to see you and the car yesterday at Brands.
So, you have Bob Rawle doing your mapping then? He's a good lad our Bob. You'll have a good safe map with Bob :cool: |
Went back to CPA on Friday for the Grand Finale!
Last minute purchase with the Systec 290ltr Motorsport pump just to be sure. I feel a Bosch044 but hey ho you lives and you learns! Didn’t go quite as planned, the pump and injectors were delivered to my home address instead of work so no one was there to sign for them. Meant to leave at 05.30 for Bristol to avoid rush hour and get some breakfast on the way but the parcel ended up back at the PO Depot. So I had to drive over there and wait till 7am to pick the parcel up and then got stuck in the morning rush hour, got to CPA about 2 hours later than planned (and still hungry) and they got cracking right away. Trumpet would not fit do had to use the MAF tube and block off the MAF port and remove the gauze for now. Injectors in and fuel pump in and after a quick road test I was on my way to Bob’s an hour later than planned. Then got pulled over by undercover police and warned about my number plates and given a producer! Then got to Bob’s about an hour and a half late, therefore didn’t have time to set up the LC or the ALS and the loom for the Wideband sensor had not arrived so no wideband just yet either! But got the Cal switch in and got the main map done which was priority number 1. The car pulls really hard right into the red! Loads or torque and definitely feels mid 400bhp-ish. Boost is 1.85bar dropping slightly top end to 1.7bar and sounds AWESOME coming off boost!!! I was going to take a vid but I wanted to do one with the ALS and LC on really… The clutch slipped a smidge on one of the final in 4th runs but hasn’t slipped since so I’m hoping it will be OK to get a readout on the rollers in 3rd. Bob confirmed the engine was running beautifully and performing very well indeed. Rolling road is on Saturday so time will tell! Will be going back to Bob ASAP to the ALS and LC set up and finish the wideband control. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010658.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010659.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010660.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010661.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010664.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...3042010666.jpg |
Great stuff mate. Sounds like you had a day of it though! :shock:
Roll on the final result. :mrgreen: |
