Stop playing with it, you will go blind...oh wait thats something else

Because they dont want to loose it

This was a thing of legend over on the rx7 forums, it does sound absolutely incredible.

I have never driven one so can personally offer no insight. A guy I used to work with however used to race TVR Tuscans amongst other things and is now an instructor, does Mercedes test days etc, his first drive of the GTR was at combe along with a Maclaren Mercedes and SL Black, obviously he said it was devastingly quick, but he remarked on that it felt light and nothing like the 1750kg it actually is, which is quite the opposite to a couple of comments here. Would it depend on what you are used to or does it genuinely feel that heavy?

Think you must have had a Mr Sears round to have come up with that plan, haha

Aero does not have to look ugly, the overall design is just sh*t.

No one buy the ebay ones or from avb, fit will be shocking.

Whenever I see these style bmw's I think of pikachu pokemon. Fantastic place to have a drive and take some photos

Its been discussed before somewhere, some gm owners are down as grey, some silver, my gm is down as silver, nothing to worry about.

Pretty sure Grundy was after an Agency Power exhaust, may be worth a pm.

If someone wants the switches, I will take the panels

Poole, Dorset. They were rims only

sorry, must have missed that. but you're probably going to ridicule my answer. (and its probably going to spark a war!) i've always gone NA in previous projects. so its a little of sticking to what i know. and its a little of a personal dislike to the notion of forced induction - i regard it as cheating. NA tuning is about the pursuit of 100% volumetric efficency, the closer you get the better and the greater the sense of acheivement. with FI, VE is completely disregarded. you double or triple the VE with ease. You want more power - new pulley and a remap later - POOF like magic, more power wheres the fun in that? Only my opinion. im sure it conflicts greatly with other peoples. Andy, yea that Denmark build was one of the references i made in the opening post, but i couldnt find dynos for it. but again, this is a reference of both a cosworth head, and headwork, that hasnt yielded great results. when ive seen the word 'Cosworth' or the word 'headwork' on a dyno plot, its followed with an owner in tears over his results (with one single exception i have found, out of 5) A very purist thought process, I dont think you will be ridiclued for that, its your car and your money, fill your boots. As for a war or cheating, as said elsewhere, the fi boys will not care one jot thats what you think and I am sure they are having plenty of fun cheating. I am not sure a big lazy v6 Is the place to apply the theory to though, different story if you get it revving up to 8500 or 9k but that wont happen so whilst it may appeal to your beliefs, imho, you are applying it to the wrong car

As previously asked, whats your dislike of fi, is it from any experience?

yeah thats what I was 'budgeting for', but LS3 - Stateside (albeit LHD) you can get most of the conversion parts, right down to 'plug and play' wiring harness converter kits! - Custom headers from a UK race / rally shop if adapting LHD ones pointless, mounts etc Sikky...and your best friend the race mechanic fed with endless supply of chips ..possibly not that easy.....but what a car, basically pick any power you want / think you can handle, as the LS variants and ready tuning options is just a pick & mix he mutters with incredible naivety.. All I will say is, i hope Wasso pops by this thread and lets you know just how easy it is, or Keyser or Buster who are working on the project, sorry did i say easy.....

Casualty reduction officer....seriously?

Costs will spiral quickly with any na tuning. Your either in it for long haul with deep pockets and lots and lots of patience and no car to drive, or bite the bullet and enjoy fi or put the money towards a car with that figure na already. As for na bragging rights, the guy with the fi zed who you cant keep up with literally wont care

First off i say, i love modifying cars and anything else in between So in theory, i understand but in reality.... Your not a forced induction kind of guy you say, any particular reason, have you had bad experiences of owning or driving fi? Most of your driving is motorway, does throttle response etc come into play at that point that you may loose by going fi? And "dyno, dyno dyno and some more dyno", whats the obsession with dyno results, you could have two different cars with 400hp and they will drive very very differently. If your going na and lumpy cams/long tube headers/ported etc that power will all be top end, as per vtech, great if your hammering round a track or b roads but cruising round town and a motorway, its absolutely wasted. If you desperately want to stay na, either follow octets suggestion or do some breathing mods and stroke your current engine, ala 380rs.

Any danger of a reply to om please?

Didnt I link a 2nd hand set in another thread for you?

Thanks mate.

If a jobs worth doing....
