Post by: Blue MK2 on 19 June 2004, 21:42: that looks sweet.

Does the engine come with the top plastic cover?
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: topher on 19 June 2004, 21:51: with his newly aquired fibre glass skills i reckon dizzie should fabricate something on a cover to house the throttle cable (usually goes round the side of the engine on mk4's/TT's)
my cover is sat in the boot at the moment until i get it trimmed, doesnt fit over the dump valve after i put the samco inlet pipe on :-\

Im guessin dizzie is gonna have the largest grin in nato for the next 6 months ;D
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: vixteris on 19 June 2004, 23:03: dizzie phoned me from the motorway and i swear i could actually hear his grin down the telephone!! ;D

hes gonna b hyper for weeks :D
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: Dizzie on 19 June 2004, 23:30: BACKKKKKKK! ;D

yes, i'm still grinning!

it's like a f**king balistic f**king misile (sp) now!

I'll take some pics tomorrow afternoon after work and after I've cleaned it up a bit. it's still a bit grubby. Need to relocate some wires too.

not a bad spray job on the bay for ?80.
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: Dizzie on 20 June 2004, 06:04: argh. out there at 5.50am wiring up the headunit. that's all working now though :)

bloody dump valve! it's like a ratter snake fight under there. although brings a smile everytime they do it ;D

Got a few other bits and peices that need attention. The warpped G60 disc is the main one. The whole car shakes when you brake. :( I'll clean the engine up and tidy a few things up under there and take some decent pics. after I've finished work probably.

Ahem....Didnt you tell me it was an atmospheric system and you couldnt afford a stand alone fuel management to incorporate a dump valve? or where you just accting like a cheap skate so i would buy you beer at the next meet? ;)

Looks good, Is the motor a DOHC or a SOHC? It looks like a SOHC in the pic but i could be wrong (twin or single cam)
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: richandhazel on 20 June 2004, 10:41: Its DOHC ;)

it would be a closed loop diverter valve.. which are generally silent on standard cars. Looking at his intake though... combined with the higher boost he's running, you'd certainly get a decent dumping noise... more discreet than the subaru style blow off valves but definitely audible. Trying to find a way to make mine quieter actually.. sick of burberry cap wearers staring at me when i change gear :-\
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: Fielder5757 on 20 June 2004, 10:50: Meh, We all get it, Try having a bodykit on you car! They hear my exhaust rumbling and my intake whining and run into the middle of the road shouting "nice car braud!"

Ordenerally i wouldnt mind that, But its the fact that they run RIGHT where im driving and stand and point, I have about 3 seconds to stop from 40MPH before i damage the front end on one of the worthless twits.

All he needs now is a missfire kit and the car will sound mean! Every time he comes off the accelerator he wont only hear his BOV, But his exhausts fluttering as well ;)

*Just recalling Dizzie trying to scare the living daylights out of that bloke walking his dog ;D*
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: Fielder5757 on 20 June 2004, 10:52: Is it more of a spluttering noise or a hisss?
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: richandhazel on 20 June 2004, 10:56: Neither, as tophuh said, it sounds more like the Subaru blow off but just a tad quieter 8)
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: Fielder5757 on 20 June 2004, 11:02: Hmm, Sounds sexy.

Ok everyone, Its time to own up, Who here has read this thread and has either:

A) driven down the road making spool up noises and then doing a HISSSS everytime they change gear to find out what its like to be in dizzys car

Or

B) lies in bed and makes hissing noises as they fantisize of a DOHC, Turbo Lump being in there car

Comon, Dont be shy! Own up ;)

Post by: AdamB on 20 June 2004, 17:10: This has really inspired me to open up the cheque book again, and source a decent power plant for the cab!
I like the idea of sticking with an 8v but going for a bigger lump.
I reckon a TSR or Thurrock big bore would do the trick.
;D
Title: Re:We've just picked up Dizzies car
Post by: golfvr6 on 20 June 2004, 18:00: I'm quite happy with the vr.
But then again maybe i need to start thinking about a ported head and some cams :D
