Nce one Euan

rapidcossie

here are some pics of my new 650 bhp rated exhaust system.

it has been built by Tom at AVA and is a work of art!

Big thanks goes to Tom for this and to Colin and Big Shaun for the other work going on with the car just now.
















new brake discs and pads..


near 310 mm rear set up

Stoo

Your neighbour across the road will just love you even more now

Fabrication looks amazing mate, you must be chuffed.

Escos Jam

Spot on Euan. looks awsome mate, they gonna make one for me on the cheap??

rapidcossie

will certainly have a word for you jam

they will fit it before alan maps your car

thebigyin

looks a quality job apart from the tailpipes which look shhiiiite,but each to there own

rapidcossie

dont want to be part of the 4" outwardly rolled crew so this is what we decided on..

rapidcossie

got the neighbour sorted now stoo..

yeah am totally chuffed with the job mate!

you not sticking some pics of your new beast up yet?

Dan

Thats awesome power, can't wait to see what top speed it makes!

Dan

Didn't see those pics! Love this one!

rapidcossie

the car hasnt made 650 bhp lol, thats the flow limit of the system

we hope to see about 430-440 ATW which puts it in the 530-540 dyno kind of area... not mega power compared to some but it should do some serious numbers

already have a good idea of wha it wil do, but on the day anything could happen

Dan

I'm fully aware of that thank you! I was reffering to the 440atw power mate

dumped

Thank god its got brakes!

rapidcossie

aww cool mate... no worries

its more than quick enough for me............at the moment

rapidcossie

yeah some kind hearted soul "donated" them to my car

dumped

Pretty nice of them! Think someone has finally bought mine so will be making their way up north next week fingers crossed, need to dig em out and injectors if i can find em on Monday

Fingers crossed its quiet enough so no bother with stupid new brunters noise police etc!

rapidcossie

that guy up north might have a hard time getting them off my car

dumped

He might but i won't if goods aint paid for

Dan

Until you want more and get used to this power....

rapidcossie

dont think alan had heard from the guy in over 3 weeks and with no deposit left or anything i stepped in and snapped them up

rapidcossie

the power is more than enough...am fed up spending money on the thing but aint we all

dumped

This is someone i was speaking to on Friday - different guy. 1st pay 1st get in my book - didnt think they were my brakes as the calipers are painted and dont remember mine being black. Cool,I will be loaded on Monday, save me a trip to sign on this week

rapidcossie

best speak to Alan or colin about this as im positive they are the brakes off the stealth bomber

Dan

Just keep telling yourself it's an investment mate!

dumped

No bother I'm sure its all paid for etc as I have not been called about it and I sure as hell no one would fit any parts without the "owners" permission. As I said - I'm not sure they are mine.

thebigyin

good on you for being different, might catch on who knows

vroooom ptssssh

Exhaust looks mental Euan, I personally like the tailpipes. .

dovboy

what he said

Escos Jam

Haha nice one mate, it'l prob be goin to them anyway.
Have a word with them see what they can do for me.
Check how much they'l take for mappin etc too

Fiecos Dan

thats looks spot on





Has the car been run, and driven down the road under anger yet? any exhaust knocks? as looks close at some points.

rapidcossie

its a good way to look at it...suppose it will always be worth something, unlike alot of performance cars of other makes out there

rapidcossie

not ben driven yet and we know its close at afew points but this is an "evo" version of the one on dumped car as it used to rub/hit at certain places. the system is pretty much soli undeneath the car so hopefully it should be ok

rapidcossie

what management do you run again Jam?

pectel something?

PF Dave

Hey Euan,

Exhaust looks top, loving the down-swept tailpipe option,

Looking forward to seeing this bad boy run in anger!

Dan

Definately mate, stick at it!

Fiecos Dan

Thats odd, i fully believe your car is this power @ wheels and fly

but

As i've always been told that, Ava said 100 bhp losses on a 4wd (let alone 2wd) was unbelieveable, as that sort of transmision losses would melt the transmission.

also on previous decussion about this some of Ava's customers said a 4wd car would only have 30-40 bhp losses on a 500 bhp engine.

Fiecos Dan

In fact i have a statement you posted, to something i wrote.



Another quote


And another

rapidcossie

yeah dave it should be awesome Dave

rapidcossie

this "comparrison" was done by me and not by anyone at AVA.

they dont think my car has this power but quote about 30 hp more for a fly fig but are not intersted in fly figs at all.

im only going by what i have seen on other cars that have been on ava rollers after being on a dyno.

ie mike rainbirds saf made 515 on harveys dyno and 395 ATW at AVA.
Andy Gallaghers escos made 612 on harveys dyo and 484 at AVA.


bear in mind both mikes and andys cars once fitted into the car have restrictive exhaust systems and all other related losses(alternator,higher charge temps etc) along with transmission.

i stand by what AVA say and agree that massive losses thru transmissions are impossible
take from this what you will..
