Clive confirmed that during the session, but as a balance, most of the VAG stock tune cars he tests come out bang on the numbers.

and Keith! :-)

Game on Rob!

James, I was expecting higher figures, but the bhp figure is bang on the money for Cosworth's quoted range of 260 for std exhaust and 280 for their de-cat system. The car feels to have endless torque, so it's not an issue IMHO Also the torque dip in the 4500-5000 range isn't noticeable on track at all, but the graph seems to exaggerate the dip, which is 14lb ft over that rev range.

James, some more driving lessons would come in useful. Nothing else planned for the car at the moment, but after next Tuesday's session at Snetterton, I'll probably have some more ideas.

The car is booked into Clive Atthowe's for a full roller session next Thursday. I've know Clive for a long time, he's a Revo dealer like me. Clive does Adrian's cars as well. Results will be posted Thursday evening.

Patience Grasshopper, it's couple of weeks before the car goes on the rollers, as soon as I have the figures I'll post them. Now where did I leave those ping pong balls?

Dave is a god!

Off to Snet on 14th April to get some more practice. Need to get the StreetFlex setup sorted and find out how it performs on my local circuit. Hopefully my ride and handling guru can attend, to show me where I'm going wrong. Happy to give passenger rides between testing if any local members can spare the time.

I wondered why there were so many RX-8s on the attendee list!

That's what it's for!

Excellent, I'll look out for you.

Nigel, please do!

Lauren, very kind, I'm sure we can sort out something :-)

Keith, right tyres, right day and a rocket booster methinks. And an awful lot of luck.

Lauren that is very kind coming from the Hard Charger of the day, which was very well deserved too. Many thanks for the help with the Tein setup too.

Fastest Toyota

Overpipe, and 2nd cat delete. But it was enough to win the TSS today!

All will follow over the next few days, however the dyno results will be a couple of weeks.

Can't stop, still driving......... ;-)

I've got it!!!!!!!!! My goodness it's fun, the torque is just awesome. The exhaust sounds fantastic. The only problem is I don't have time to read the EDFC Active manual to make sense of the programming, Keith/Lauren I may need your help tomorrow morning. Please!

Adrian and the guys are still working their socks off to get the car ready for tomorrow lunchtime. Fingers crossed.

Well Direct Line decided they didn't want to cover the supercharger, but Adrian Flux came up with the goods covering all the mods. which was a relief as I collect the car tomorrow......
