here is my sapph cossie in process of stage 3 development i will post more pics soon

 

looks nice m8,not sure on the wheels tho,but they r different

 

Looks very nice mate,

Love white saph's!

does it scrape much, being that low?

Welcome to PF by the way!!

 

my middle box says ouch alot espescially overtaking on cats eyes in middle of road

 

I'll bet, lol!

Are you still looking for some super t's by the way?

 

no cheers anyway pal got 3 sets of alloys now just sprayed some mvk 17" white look good. also have original cossie alloys so i now have 3 sets depending on my mood ha ha

cheers for the welcome what car you got pal

 

No problem mate, i've got a white 2wd sapph.

 

thats nice you done alot too it.

 

Thanks mate, yeah, i've had it 3 and half years now, a mate of mine owned it for 10 years before that, let it get quite rough so its had a full respray, 2 engines its about 400ish bhp now, i just really fancy some different wheels for it now though, maybe some racelines or comps, what plans have you got for yours?

 

what did u do to get 400 bhp turbo's etc?

so far mine done 85k miles
full engine rebuild 10k ago after it span a big end bearing. so had it lightened and balanced low comp mahles, high presure oil pump. grp a head gasket. grp a coil. 3 bar map sensor. 803 greens. hybrid t3 recon. level 8 ecu (stage 3 chip).. lowered with bilsteins (very low). ebc cross drilled brakes all round. turbo timer. prior to me 1 owner from new full history and original bill of sale.

only gets 254 bhp at mo

want to : -31 actuator. new 4x4 throttle position sensor. (cross looped) rs500 style intercooler. possible re map from msd but maybe bigger turbo first.


defo comps if ur wallet can reach it pal, i find it costly enough with out going over a grand for alloys

 

I know, nothing is cheap is it?

I'll probably end up sticking with the super t's to be honest, unless i can find a buyer for them and then it will go part way towards funding some new wheels.

As for the engine, i started with a new 200 block, long studded lightened/balanced etc. low comp (7.3:1) WRC h/gasket, turbo Technics T38 turbo, greys, radtech intercooler and turbo cooler, alloy rad, new engine loom, peaks at 30 psi, holds 28psi, A.P 6 paddle clutch, loads of other bits that i cant remember! On the look out for a l8 ecu at the mo though, then i want closed loop, and have it live mapped at msd.

 

wow thats nice i bet it shifts. can you suggest my best next stage or do you think i pretty much on right lines.

you got any other turbos or anything for sale pal ?

 

I havent personally but a friend of mine deals a lot in cossie parts, i'll ask him for you.

Stage 3 sounds like a good plan, my old engine had a t34 on, and to be honest it was probably more responsive low down than this one, it didnt have the mid range though. If you can get your hands on one and a set of green injectors and a suitable chip you should be on the right lines.

 

cheers pal looking for rs500 intercooler. - 31 or -34 actuator. mainly or cheap turbo(yeah right) bet urs wasnt cheap..

 

I did actually get quite a good deal on mine because i bought it second hand but with very little mileage on it.

I'll ask my mate next time i see him and let you know mate.
