My internets been down last 12 hours so a delay in posting up yesterday rr result.
404.4 which I was a little disappointed by but Simon thinks that the figures on the road a few months back possibly weren't as good back then as now.
Either way when it comes on boost now it goes better which is what I wanted. At least i can give it some beans now!
Limiting factor is my turbo....now thinking of maybe MD321T or just leave it and wait for the s206 and 2.1 next year.
I'll post a graph up when i get a chance.

There were some nice classics there as well...one guy from leicester in a track prepped RA hit 415/415 with a KKK turbo off a 911! Brilliant.

I'll be selling my T soonish

Be interesting to see what mine makes when it's finally finished - but will still be on pinks for now as well as the SR40 - I think I may get to 400 ish but with more torque and faster spool.

Main thing is how the car feels, and if it feels better/quicker, then job done. It certainly seemed quick enough as it was! Out of interest, what was the torque figure tim?.

Hongkongfooi 01-09-2010 08:36 PM

A bit down steve at 350...less than yours! But it does feel quicker now and makes lots of new noises when changing gear...I like it. I'll bring my graph down on staurday for you to look at.
Its got the new wheels fitted as well now....sweeet!

Would love my front mount to look like that

Hongkongfooi 05-09-2010 05:43 PM

New Wheels for those that didn't get to see them at Japbash yesterday!

Looking good mate :)

Petey1985 05-09-2010 06:02 PM

Looks great, you've made me want to up my power now though. Your turbo looks niiiiiiiiiice!

Hongkongfooi 04-10-2010 04:59 PM

really must stay off scoobynet!

Had these fitted after buying them off a nice chap called iain...and he fitted them for free! Bargain price as well!

http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...oi/P110011.jpg

and also off the same guy although he had never fitted them were these ast coilovers. these have been what I have been after for ages and another bargain price....only done 1500 miles!
can't wait to get these bad boys fitted!

Steve_PPP 04-10-2010 05:32 PM

coilovers as well as brakes, blimey, gonna be good at the ring next year!

Scott.T 04-10-2010 08:34 PM

Cool, AST coilovers have gotta be one of the best sets.
They are also fully rebuildable if required (much like a Bilstein)

simba 06-10-2010 08:11 PM

very nice mate
:yeah:

AndyWRX 07-10-2010 02:47 PM

Excellent mate

tbtstt 21-10-2010 01:52 PM

Just spotted this thread, lovely motor - that front mount looks extra tidy as well! :10:

Hongkongfooi 15-11-2010 03:58 PM

Ast's fitted last week by Brent....still playing with the nice gold nobs on top of the struts for comfort but is an improvement so far.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p.../P11010017.jpg
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p.../P11010018.jpg
looking forward to winding them up a bit for track work as well. only dropped about 10-15mm as I have to drive over speed humps.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p.../P11010014.jpg

got some new pagid black brake pads on the way as the yellows that came with the brakes are really:-o, the compound has broken away in some places so this is urgent!
and got a bit of carbon to fit at some point too8-)

tbtstt 15-11-2010 04:14 PM

Very tidy looking! :10:

Your ride height on the AST's looks very similar to mine. I've got mine set at 6 notches (from soft) on the front and 4 on the rear. That was the setting recommended to me from Carl at AST and, after playing round, I found that was pretty good for day-to-day use. Never tracked mine though, so I guess you'd need to wind that number up when on track!

Lucky 15-11-2010 06:09 PM

Looking good tim. The springs/brakes will be going on mine next week hopefully. Just waiting for the pads and lines to arrive. So is yours sitting lower than when on the prodrive springs?

ever so slightly Steve...only 5mm lower on front and 10mm on rear lower, not much really.

Steve_PPP 15-11-2010 06:27 PM

looking cool matey :doubleup:

Scooby_Greg 15-11-2010 08:31 PM

AST's looking verrrrrry nice Tim!

Hongkongfooi 19-01-2011 09:12 PM

had this fitted yesterday as it was meant to sorted before xmas but with the snow.......
was unsure whether to get part of it painted but will stay as is for now and will add some more carbon when funds allow

Not bad with White either:asskiss:

Anger 19-01-2011 09:42 PM

Haha true :D

Steve_PPP 19-01-2011 10:16 PM

i'd personally have the ends colour coded, leaving the centre in carbon.

how have you mounted it, just with tiger seal or equivalent? looks good tho! :ok:

There was a post on Surrey a while back where one had come off just using seal :-o

Looks ace though, Ive allways wanted one of those.

Yeah i saw, thats kinda why i asked the question.

But i don't think i'd be brave enough to bolt it on!

Anger 19-01-2011 10:32 PM

Mines bolted... but its an OEM part :)

Hongkongfooi 20-01-2011 06:27 AM

It's bonded at a body shop, they assure me it will stay on. :angst:

BIG"E" 20-01-2011 08:00 AM

Looks good.:10:

Anger 20-01-2011 08:03 AM

Im guessing so did the bodyshop that put on Marks on Surrey mate... No following you on the Autobahn at over 140mph ;)

worzel 20-01-2011 08:24 AM

Looking very nice mate :cool:

SUBARMAN 20-01-2011 09:47 AM

If you can attach a carbon fibre panel between the two flat surfaces of the spoilers, you will nearly have a wagon..............
