Fuck me its in the middle of nowhere


Went over there the other day to pick this motor up for Cally:




I really didnt realise quite how far it was to the east, took 17 hours for the return journey with the trailer (including going via cambridge to pick up an engine and box for a corsa engine converson im doing for a mate of mine)


Nice roads round there though (from a driving pleasure point of view, not a getting anywhere point of view ) and fantastic views/countryside, can see why Mike likes living there

 

Is that a turbo chip?

 

guessing from the font mounted intercooller, and the 5 stud alloys, i'd guess so, unless someone has chavved it with a fake cooler..

 

Well not at the moment, as its got no inlet / exhaust / manifold / turbo /ecu


But yes it was a turbo 4*4 originally, and will be again soon.


Going to be a T3 plus a large dose of gas and then the Mrs is hoping to beat the current quickest quartermile time for a calibra turbo (she needs a 12.7 to manage it)

Seems pretty doable to me (depsite the 4wd system being a little "unusual")

 

see norfolk aint all bad!!! just boring thats all whereabouts was the car??? looks a good one

 

Nice chip

What power are these standard?


What do you mean???

 

Standard power is 204bhp


The 4wd system is fwd until it notices a lack of traciton (wheelspin) at the front, then it sends power to the rear, but only upto a maximum of 90NM

Its sort of "fwd with a little drive to the back" basically

So it wont launch the way a pular does etc.

 

Was near Norwich mate

 

NICE

...but wrong forum..go to www.Vauxhallssuckforum.com


Thanks.

 

Loved it up there so diff to this area and omg did i keep forgeting to lock the car but never got robbed mind you eberyone new everyone !!
17 hours could have FFS
quickest i did it was two
and there only one speed cam after the m25 !!

 

around 200 bhp standard.

The 4WD system is shit. A normal 4wd provides a decient amount of torque to all four wheels but with the vauxhall 4wd system this in not the case. They are very geared (so to speak) to provide most of the drive to the front wheels and only giving the back any sort of drive when the fronts start to spin.


*edit DOH, only 3 post too late. *

 

17 was from somerset mate, not from london.


Left at 8am, got home at 1am :O

630 miles altogether.

 

Sounds like a fun drive.

 

You could have come and said hello .

Exactly where-abouts did you go?

 

thought id seen it before. how much bhp can the chaissis hold and can you turn it to proper 4wd?? cause i heard the chaissis werent up to much.

 

Bloody hell mate not far from me.

 

The thought did cross out minds TBH mike, but it was just such a long day anyway that we couldnt really spare the time.

I dont remember, wherever the TomTom told me to

 

I meant the name of the town / village near Norwich you numpty .

 

The chassis really isnt too much of a problem, espcially if a cage is fitted.

Im currently writing an article for Total Vauxhall magazine about a 569bhp one that does 11.4 second quarters and leaves the line with all 4 wheels spinning, thats on normal low profile road tyres too, on a set of decent tyres im expecting him to see 10s

So the sky is the limit really. but it we can see 400bhp+ on gas and a 12.5 we will be happy with it, the mrs mainly wants it as a road car.

 

I will PM you his fucking address if you like

Its acutally just listed as "norwich" in the address, but it was in some suburb out of town

The guy knew who you were, you're obviously famous locally

 

I have my fingers in all the pies .

 

He said you are well known down the local mcdonalds for driving through the drive thru with your antilag going

 

Is that gay slang for mens anus's?

 

Only on the last Tuesday of the month .

 

No, that's called "Chocolate fingers"

 

pmsl

 

I thought it was norfolk rhyming slang for "japs eyes"

 

norfolk is fantastic for driving just like hazzard county - yeehah

 

LOL

 

I am currently working in Watton (near norwich) for the next few days.

There is fuck all around here apart from trees

 

Yep, description certainly matches where i was

 

SECS with dave walker?

 

Dave who

 

Matt, yes same one, and he did have big plans for it.

He sold some bits off it and was intending to go bigger and better (turbo etc) and then decided he had thrown too much money at it and got out rather than throw even more

 

Was near Norwich mate [/quote]

near me then!!

you know your not that far from courtneys if you into your vauxs

 

i keep telling my mate the same who has one .. seems to think its a supercar tho

 

They have a lot more potential than people give them credit for.

Guy i chat to online a lot runs 11.4 quarters in his, and TBH given that was on normal road tyres, not anything vaguely sticky and in totally the wrong profile, he should have a 10 soon.
When you think how many cossies can beat that on here, it puts it into perspective what they can do, his is entirely home made and home mapped too.

 

didnt think he was serious about seelling it chip, its a nice car
