AVA built the engine with lightened and ballanced crank etc etc.
Ported head to maximise the efficiency of the TB's & exhaust manifold


Its running large independant throttle bodies(bike TB's) for sharper throttle response.
AVA custom inlet manifold which allows the TB's to be fed nice cool air from the...........
Genuine Bher RS 500 intercooler
AVA custom exhaust manifold (equal lengthed with longer headers)
Full customised mongoose/AVA exhaust with flexi section 3" from turbo back.
AVA spec'd T34/63(stage 3)
Omex 600 with custom AVA loom & greens for now.

Suspension
Leda fully heightdamping adjustable Coilovers.

Andy_R 24-04-2009 09:21 PM

Aye I've had it what? 6/7 years now! I tend to go through phases of enjoying it then hating it - a good clean doesnt do it any harm.

I've destroyed a few uprated gearboxes which is a bit of a drain, its currently got a CTS stage 2+ in it atm however the casing where the clutch cable passes through is burst. It needs either taken out again(which is a pest because of how tight it is under the bonnet) else a bracket fabricated to allow the cable to operate the clutch mechanism propperly.

Power wise, its on a base map just now - the engine having been ran in, power isnt worth measuring until its been fully mapped.
300atw is the aim for now with a good spread of power which the TB's/Inlet & Exhaust manifold should see to.
Out and out power is all well and good but drivability and fun are more important to me.

Those rods don't look up to much...

Lol ;)

Looks a proper thing mate - be good to see what it makes mapped :D

Si B 30-04-2009 10:02 PM

Cool car Andy. Remember you telling me bits about the spec over the years, didn't realise it was such a complete / well chosen list of mods :top:

So much potential once it's mapped and running just right.

Get that enthusiasm back in there, and get it out on the road this summer!

Andy_R 30-04-2009 10:07 PM

600bhp is pretty lame these days aint it Will:cry:

Ok the cars reached the end of its life as one car, i'll be breaking it over the coming weeks - all parts available.
Although I haven't sat down and worked out prices for stuff yet i'm happy to recieve sensible offers on parts prior to advertising (by pm)

MikeR 30-04-2009 11:23 PM

Shame this is getting broke Andy like l said, but atleast you have the Evo to play with :king:
