Car up Rtech



I took it back up Rtech on 22/08/2012 was hoping after the 3inch turbo back exhuast with injectors and vr6 maf for anything over 240bhp and 270lbs+.

Another bloody fail but no dramas I had an oil leak and the car was booked in for 3 hours for a remap tweak instead of custom mapping (which is a day job)
Injectors and VR6 maf was out of question for now but still made 232bhp and 270lbs of power. The pull is amazing.

We found the leak was the gearbox, bloody mess it was I didnt think id get home but it made it and then it was replaced with a newer unit which of a mate cost me £40 :-D



If you notice the pic on the roller is still had the twin pipe this was the first time up there before the 3inch was put on.

Next time the car goes up im seriously thinking about wmi. Then k04 if the engine can take it  :grin:

This car is f**king mint! Im not such a fan of after market body kits, especially not on a saloon. But I have to say this is one classy beast.

I'm impressed at how together you are on the mechanical front. You seem to just piss your way through the work, with no dramas. I'm one jealous thingy!

Can I ask, is the font on your number plates legal? And if so, where the f**k can I get some?

Keep posting dude. I really enjoyed reading this thread, despite feeling rather envious at your diy genius and rather more, my complete and utter f**king lack of it!
