Decided to go for a lunchtime drive up Paekakariki Hill Road. Why have I never been up here in 8 years?

Long way up:

Just read this from the start, very very good car! Now to find my cheque book lol

I think one word sums this one in all fairness and that is.....Awesome!

It has certainly been a journey but christ just look at how its all turned out and still undergoing changes. I love this car

Hats off to you Rob.

+1 for his dedication

Love this wagon

Are they bright enough?

 

Went to a local car meet last night - it was interesting - lots of cars from old Triumphs through to new Skylines. Scoobys, Evos, even a Mustang and a 50's Ford pickup.
Police were prowling around looking for any dodgy behaviour and everyone was just talking and being really chilled.

I followed a very loud Evo 8 who floored it in one of the tunnels - I kept up quite respectably

Where did you get the vrs sticker from rob? Looks good

Go on then? But you change your mind like a women does shoes

if your not forging dont waste your money top tip :sun:

There isnt anywhy i can afford a forged engine!

 

Surely a K300 mapped at 270/280 and around 260tq should be fine.

is worth waiting for robs view,although dont think he ever got the injectors or maf running??

 

mine was 270-280 stripped and for the money not worth it,first 2 gears is just to spin happy then 3rd onwards doesnt feel much different i had it 2 weeks before i sold the hybrid kit so give you an idea.

 

roughly 225pertonne so is still a slug really

Sorry but I really wouldn't bother.

 

My car was mapped to 251bhp with 303lbft with the stock ko3s

 

I couldn't justify the expense for an extra 20bhp and then loose torque (the torque is what makes the car feel quick).

is a good point that mine had less torque then cossies,probs had less torque than my stage 2 car

Right well. i may reconsider!

 

Although my OCty puffs white smoke like a good'un! could be turbo seals so thats why i was doing the swap

Surely that Ko3's must be running near or at its limit? i may just go stage 2 now....

if you  want big power jap

 

if you want fun e36

 

if you want boredom and love spending money vag

Turbo seals are usually blue smoke.

 

White smoke is water.

It's being pushed no harder than most stage2 cars out there (1.4bar peak dropping to 1.3bar and tailing off to about 1.1bar).

 

It's lasted approx 5000 miles and several trackdays and (touchwood) still going strong.

 

if you  want an empty wallet jap

 

if you want fun on a budget vag

 

if you want to sit around waiting for your car to be fixed again and love wasting money jap again

 

 

 

Fixed that for you

Interesting thank you cossie.

 

Yeah my octavia blow's a fair amount of white smoke, there is no oil in the coolant however. could be premature headgasket

 

Has rob dropped off the briskoda map? i need to hear his views!

Not forgetting that once you have rods wich you plan todo

300 to 330 bhp 300 to 330 ftlb

No contest mapped by nick there is nothing better IMO

Ask nick his views

Correct setup will create a beast

Diff is key
