Vlad Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: As you can see - I'm quite happy... Just got back from Abbey Motorsport with this... 423hp@hubs and 336lbft of torque! Thats the figures I was always after, so really happy now....for now...untill I decide that i got to much money (which i don't lol) and start building engine with forged internals lol So yea, thats now sorted...whats next? Next is: *Sort out bodywork - front end is pretty bad...cracks in the bumper and splitter after hitting a rabbit... Lacquer on the bonnet is going a bit dodgy...a bit of paint chipped away on both front aches as front a bit low... so new bumper to be ordered, bonnet re-lacquered or painted same color as the car but leaving vents carbon, arches resprayed and few other little bits touched up and added. * Brakes and possible new wheels... brakes developed uite bad vibration when breaking.... dont see point getting them skimmed and want tto upgrade anyway - so probably will go for T2 rotors with some pads. Wheels wise - I think Rota Grids in black * Steering wheel... already gt short hub and deep dish wheel on the way... just need to get quick release and we ready to fit * Upgrade suspension/handling... camber arms, drop links, bushes etc Quote
evilscorp Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Happy for you mate, with all the hassle in the past. Onwards and upwards (faster)! Enjoy, I give you till next year before you want more lol. Quote
GMballistic Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Great result Vlad. Are you running with the 3.12" pulley set up? If I get those numbers at the fly I'd be pretty happy but at the hubs that's coooooool. Quote
ChrisB Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Oh yea-ha! I love it when a plan comes together... Quote

All booked in ~ bit of a wait but it will be worth it plus I'll have the extra funds then for if any problems arise (hopefully won't though). Shouldn't have any problems with brand new parts! Just make sure all couplers are proper fitter and clamped, to avoid air leaks Quote

Although I will obviously be checking over everything myself once I get it back. Quote

Vlad Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Congrats matey you've been wanting that power for a loooooong time! Thanks Ian Quote
leonk Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 That's fantastic Vlad I keep trying to convince Dan (Wizurd) to do the same! Quote
mouthwash Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Niiice figures, if I get anywhere near that I'll be a happy chappy Quote
Vlad Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks mate! Yea, I am very pleased with it...finally Quote
Vlad Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Well, another update for today... My new dial cards arrived today along with new steering wheel. When I went to Russia last month, i took my dials with me and my mate redone it to blue/red LEDs. OEM dial cards are actually painted orange, so blue wasn't coming thru them, so ordered new cards from US. Steering wheel (bought off Wasso) Dial cards Dial cards fitted Then it was time for steering wheel... already had NRG short hub adapter and was gonna wait till I get quick release, but thought I have day off - so i fit it today and to fit quick release will only take 5mins Old wheel off, NRG hub fitted, air bag resistor fitted New wheel wired up and connected Very productive 2 days so far haha Will test light output on dials tonight, when it gets dark And a picture from yesterday@Abbey Motorsport 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Seriously looks superb Vlad. Very nice indeed. Quote
Ceejay29 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Dials are cool!! Is it a tough job? How delicate is it as I am pretty heavy handed. I have the NRG set up you speak of and with a deep dish wheel. You'd be surprised at how much further towards you it all sits with the extra snap-off fitted. Quote
Vlad Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 I'm guessing its pretty delicate job with lights as they are tiny...that's why I handed whole thing over to my mate and picked it up when it was ready Yea, it kinda sits right now, without quick release...but I want quick release and that's extra 60mm towards me:( I will get used to it Quote
