Thought I would throw this up for you guys to see! Only changes to last years spec are a new ECU (from rstuning.co.uk - Andy the drivers new employer) and bigger injectors (1200cc) - car is running 480bhp @ fly and is on MT 24.5" slicks (15" rims).

It will be back out in two weeks time for one of our biggest shows of the year (Performance Vauxhall Show) with hopefully an extra 60-80 horsies so with any luck we will finally crack the 140mph barrier!

Aim is to do a 9 this year (nobody FWD has done it in the UK yet!)

 

car is fast for sure. whats the breakdown of the slips? 60'? that intercooler looks like a dsm sidemount. congrats on the runs. and good luck on achieving your goals this year!!

 

60ft was a high 1.7iirc. I'll have to get the rest of the details!

Intercooler is a custom made unit (same as rad) from a company called Allisport - core is rated to 600 horse.

We had the car out yesterday on a crap track just using treads and couldn't get below 12.0 LOL - still enough to win the class and take a trophy though Only thing to come close was a 996 Turbo, he came and shook hands as he couldn't believe this little blue thing with a pink rollcage was faster than his Porsche HA!

 

thats suprising with how skinny the intercooler looks. how thick is it?

congrats on the win man!!

 

Crappy pic from last year showing intercooler - its approx 3" thick I guess! Seems tiny but inlet temps are fine!



Excuse the crappy water pipe though - that was a 3am job haha...

 

not too shabby

Was good seing you at the track, we should see some 9 sec passes this year.

 

You too fella! Civic was looking awesome - suprised you haven't already done a 9 tbh...

Roll on PV!

 

Nice times!

 

I wanna put a b20v turbo in one of those, or a ford KA .
