Mine was originaly 286bhp and 301lb ft. Spun horribly in 3rd in the dry due to RSi ratios, so power was backed off to approx 260 to get the car more tractable. Not sure what the torque ended up at.
I'm running normal RST ratios now so could probably get away with running full power again as she pulls beautifully in 3rd, it's just the low gear wheelspin that gets me down.
I'm hoping to install Quaife internals after the summer, so gearbox reliability won't be such an issue.
I haven't got coilovers but have Koni springs and shocks and Turbo Technics front crossmember with drop links rather than conventional ARB setup, so she's very stable and handles beautifully, just a nightmare off the line and on poor/damp road surfaces.
BTW, is it your car that can pull 161? Mine only does 156 and I was wondering what you'd done with your gearing to be able to achieve such high speeds.
Thanks.
Good afternoon,
We don't have an actual figure for the car as it never get RR'ed, was just live mapped, but with the fueling figures, boost and turbo size it is pretty safe to say that it was well into the 3's. My car wasn't the one that did 161mph, that is Christian's. Mine is identical spec though.
I have Koni's and the TT kit too, and adjustable TCA's and Adjustable rear tie bars.
I don't really know what else you can, apart from maybe fitting a bigger turbo so the boost doesn't come in with such a bang causing the wheels to spin.
