Mikesding Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 This makes me so sad! What road thats on bud as i know your from the Reading area?! Glad to hear your ok! Where the 2 lanes merge into one just before the pub on the left and where the old Ford garage was on the right? He must have hit you with some force! Know that place well! Scary Quote
Wasso Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Why not go SC with rear mounted turbo. That would be fuuuuuuuuun!! SC? Sorry not with it? haha and rear mounted turbo, I hope you don't mean back of the car? lol SC = Supercharger Rear mount Turbo = yes at the back. Both running together = no friggin lag whatsoever. The rear mounted turbo will suffer less from heat soak. I think its the STS rear mount, and then mount a shocking great SC at the front. Of course you'd have to forge again, but you'd be seeing 500+ and a beautiful amount of torque.

[url= [/media[/url]] Cor I have seen this rear turbo mount setup. I thought it was a bit backwards and you have to run all the oil lines and boost pipe back up the car again.. Makes sense for cooling thogh I guess.. Surprisingly I suffered no lag unless I was in 6th at 50mph... I'd start boosting at 2.5k and mid range power makes you leave anything behind before you'd even think of going up another gear at red line.. lol But it does sound cool Quote
Wasso Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Food for thought anyway. Read up on it because you've got the options to do pretty much whatever you want. Jealous!! 1 Quote

Gonzo88 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 As said cars can be replaced - nice to see you walked away unscathed. The worlds your oyster now for tuning your next zed! 1 Quote
Aliensurfer Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I showed this around to the petrol heads in the office, few very stunned faces. Glad you managed to walk away Quote
Jmanji Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 You are extremely lucky if you were not injured, the car has had shunts nearly all over it. Getting paid out so quick is almost unheard of, but I guess as your in the business you have the inside track. Hope you get your next zed sorted out soon and glad to see you walked away from what could have caused serious injury, it also shows that Zelda can take quite a battering. 1 Quote
wackosr Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Wow, that looks like a close one dude, glad you are okay. 1 Quote
Dblock Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Glad to hear your ok. Car can be replaced no problem but you that's a different story. 1 Quote
Daryl Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Jesus, thats some pounding. Shame to see another Azure battered, but atleast you are ok, and the engine etc is intact, though the IC looks a little dented at the bottom. Things like this do give some scope for changes though. Quote

Thats the shape of the intercooler untouched considering how low the car is mounting the kirb and the front bumper being wripped off into 4+ pieces! Quote
Pete87 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 At least you still have the turbo engine but unlucky about the rest of it. Quote
Jetpilot Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Cant quite get my head around something, are the rear mounted turbos loud. Effectively its coming straight off the hot side of the turbo, or is it ok because its already been silenced through the exhaust? Quote

Supratad Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Luckily his insurance paid out and within 48hours of the accident!!! I got to keep the car and the Twin Turbo lump and front mount intercooler is untouched!!! Good Lord! In August last year, we got a slight nudge to the rear of the Jag, and we're STILL waiting for the other guy's insurers to cough up. Who are you, and the Audi driver, with, cos I need to change insurers. Quote

If liability is in your favour you can claim all your losses a lot quicker Liability was in our favour, the car was parked when someone in a van reversed into it. The car only got repaired 2 months ago and my insurers are still chasing for payment from the other guys insurers. There's talk of court action now, insurer on insurer action. Quote
