thanks mate from some lines i like it but others i think it looks a bit gumby without the spoiler. ill take some back to back shots when its all assembled and we'll see
Another non piccy update, We're still not quite finished the paintwork, and when i say we i mean i offically did have a hand in it, i did the door mirros from start to finish and got the clear on great off the gun. I also did the door handles too Mechanically im working on a fix for the leaking cam seal i have, more infor is coming soon on tha tfront. I burned a new tune for it which feels really good on a quick blast, havent had a chance to really stretch its legs yet though, i increased the VCT cut off point to 5900 to see what thats like, backed a few degreed of timing off during the peak torque area where i was getting some light pinging. Ive increased the timing through the rest of the light load map which has seemed to liven up the off boost performance.
Most recent dyno day saw 355 rhwp peak but alot more torque and mid range power, this was a bit lower than last time since i increases the VCT cut off point and backed the ignition advance off as i intended to really increase the boost. Very happy with how the car drives at the moment, teh power figure might not sound like much but it is alot on the street especially since so much power is available at lower rpm now. Even so i will still write another chip this week with a more agressive tune and possibly run it on the dyno again in a few weeks, just out of curiosity reall, ive got a few different chips i can run back to back now and see which one is best for street, heres some recent pics
looking magic, niall ... got to love the dark blue .... one of the best colours .... p.s. ... finally got to install your bling silicone hose today .. many thanks, again ...
looks the sex mate....would look heaps better if you sold me those wheels and got something else though how much is 355rwhp??? i thought that would be something like 290-300rwkw....how is that not alot lol...or does it equate to less than that???
Great pics and progress Niall, probably my favourite midnight blue zed.. Closely followed by my own of course!
Just a bunch of snapshots since people have asked for engine bay pics. yes i know some of the pics are wonky.
wow great job on the paint... looks shmick! the only thing i would do is lose the wing, the car would look mint stock body no spoiler.
yeah, i did have the wing off during the paintwork and yeah i did like it from some angles without it, but other times it just looked really gumby and bloated from the back, i think the 2 seater pulls it off better than the 2plus2
