Welcome back mate

Mark you must have more prices than an Argos catalogue.

From our conversations with various tuners over the pond and in Japan the interesting thing is their view on how well the car is standing up to the rigours of their testing. In their view it is the rich but dim kids trashing the life out of the car with no respect to the normal safeguards required to use any car in track situations. Unfortuneatly it is always the failures that make the headlines. All I can say is our reasons for importing the car now is based on an informed view not speculation.

A number of customers with UK orders have letters of confirmation that the warranty will not be invalidated by turning off the VDC.

600bhp is in the car already, needs exhaust,decat, boost contoller and remap. How much roughly to achieve that then? £3.5k plus VAT Is that rrp? or what you paid? Seems pretty cheap to me for all that....... That will be the retail price, includes fitting and mapping. Bargain Are they your own parts or brand name goods? Exhaust and decats are custom made, the rest are branded products.

Don't drive with the VDC off then I never took it off in my zed's or G as I didn't drive them like I stole them and didn't want to be hit with a massive bill. The only reason to turn VDC off is to thrash it beyond the parameters of what the VDC allows. Its a machine, it has limits. If you don't want to see what happens when you go past those limits, don't turn the VDC off. If there was problems with the transmission on cars that had never turned the VDC off then yes, it may be a chocolate gearbox, but thats not what happening................. Its a bit like having a big red button on the dash saying don't press me. If using launch control or turning of VDC is going to cause so much harm then don't allow it. Except then they couldn't hype their car up with unachievable figures.... Thats the thing though, it did achieve the 3.5 figure without the use of traction.

The transmision log is there to register what are in effect clutch changes. The dealers will not be opening up boxes to change the clutch, they will be replacing the whole box unit. We on the other hand will be doing it a bit differently and at much reduced cost.

The situation with the transmission needs to be put into perspective. The car that lunched its box showed a huge number of launches from the data log, no road car is capable of taking that sort of abuse and to be honest why would you want to subject any car to that level of abuse. The original timed figures from the American magazine test ( first to try out the launch control) came back with a 0-60 of 3.5 without launch and 3.2 with launch, in my book that makes it plenty quick without the need for launch control. As we understand it the launch control is there in the car for future motorsport use and was never intended to be public knowledge.
