Havn't been on here much over the last week or so as i have been ripping my car appart!
So far i have removed all the defi's,nos,als,water injection,pectel loom,carbon seats etc...and have replaced the sound proofing,carpet,rear seats,front seats,stereo etc.... I have also removed and sold (yes already) the RL7's and replaced them with some Hock R's whch i think look lovely on a 3 door
The car was running and driving until this morning when i decided to remove a few more bits and finished tonight with no engine,crossmember,suspension,brakes or gearbox in it The engine minus the T4 is sold and is going this weekend!
So what do i do with it now???? 2wd it Or shall i put this low power but high torque (9:2:1 comp) rally engine in it with the als etc in either 2wd or 4wd???
Fooked if i know

 

Spadge, you change your mind more and faster than ANY women i have met !!!

 

PMSL, u the dude spadge, the dude i tell thee

 

how about a 3x4 wheel drive cossie???

 

Spadgeroo - keep it 4WD man, put in the high torque engine (cos that is what is important anyway ), cage it, and only put back in the front seats, half the dash and the Defi's, oh and ALS

 

But from what I hear you only met one women

 

FOOL!!!

that car is proppa fooookin mint!

i cant belive what i just read

 

so true

 

the pair of you

 

pebbles im scared

 

Why you just walked past a mirror?

 

FOOL Why????
I built it i will do what i like with it! It has to please me no one else

 

You fuckin tell em spadgeroo

 

good come back
got me there you bastard

spadge dont do it, well not till next year when i will have enough money to buy your box

 

 

Benn + Andy go do your loving elsewhere you pair of poofters

 

Spadge, change your sig

 

 

spadge do you have a power steering pump to tank hose ??? need one desparately

 

4x4 and high torque!!!

Gus's car is fooking rapid!! Torquey as fook and really pulls....

 

whatever you decide to do enginewise i'd deffo say keep 4x4 as its the cars main selling point (i assume you wanna flog it still )

 

Daz
I phoned Jondell about this rally engine i have here today and they told me it was 300hp but 400 lbs/ft torque 9:2:1 comp,grp A ported head,big cams etc etc....I'm guessing it will be mental low down and will be even better if i remove the restrictor on the turbo and get it re-mapped

 

Craig i'll look tommorow but i am sure i have a couple somewhere

 

Gus's is only standard comp and that maxed out grey injectors it was producing that much torque. It really did pull and was responsive too fuck when I went in it....better than most 400bhp conversions I have been in...

Yours could be pretty fooking evil with 9.2:1....Markk loves high comp and I can see why. If you go this route it will probably be an animal off the line...

 

Daz this is running light blues at the moment with anti lag and some other trick stuff from what Jondell were saying

A few pics from this morning before i got my spanners out




Now it all resides in here and the car is looking a little sorry for itself and much lighter lol

 

Still looks good with the hocks on....

You neighbours must think you are nuts keep stripping it apart and putting bits back on and taking them off and swapping bits and re fitting bits and stipping it down again etc etc...

IMO the high torque engine and 4x4 would be the next best route to go down until you obviously get bored again!

 

Yep the neighbours think i'm nuts lol
I am a little bored with the 4wd now to be honest and this was one of the main reasons for me wanting a change

 

To be honest, I know 4x4 saps power but you couldn't tell in Gus's it pulls that strong!!!

You could always try high torque 4x4 and then go high torque 2wd when you are bored........ or the other way round....

IMO you wouldn't appreciate the high torque fully if you went 2wd apart from higher gears unless you hade really wide rear tyres..

 

But i also like the simplicity of 2wd! Engine,box,shafts,diff and thats it!!
Everything is so much easier with the 2wd (and cheaper) not to mention the fun factor i used to get in my 2wd's as well
I'll probably stick to plan A and put a good other engine in this car and sell it as a 4wd stage 3 and then buy another that is already in 2wd form and preferably in white as thats the other factor! black looks so minging when it dirty

 

Then Clean it more often Spadgerooooo

Did you get my e-mail.

 

spadge, them wheels look better than the RL7s imo, always liked hocks on a 3dr, and look even better with the rs5 bits

keep it as is

 

tis true mate, its your motor and i respect what ever you do to it, maybe i shouldnt have said your a fool lol but its a bloody amazing car!

top rod anyhow

 

Spadge,

Looks better on them wheels

Clean it - you told us all at Doncaster - you liked it dirty looking,gave it a used look

 

What seats are those spadge and where did you get them from?

Alex

 

 

I actually prefer the wheels also especialy now it is more standard looking
