I see it better now. For some reason I thought you had stuck projector lenses in there which is one idea I've had so was seeing if that was true. Can't blame you on at least giving the China junk a try.
It is looking great!
@joep yup! I still have the BI-LED projectors in top, but drl/position intergrated in one;) i removed the single highbeam /low beam that is oem
My new rear lamps. 90mm multifunction LED. I hate the chrome, so they got tinted down
bit more detailed update over the rear part after mods, alu mesh was added.. Bit like RSX look
FINALLY DONE😍 passet mot!
need some
calibration now to traction system and then its ready to fly
@lunatic , your car looks amazing! Great job, and congratulations on passing MOT!
another day with testing.. adding boost and more ignition..
this feels like a rocket now..
13psi and slowly gaining. Its still controlable without any «situations» like loosing grip or so, power is very linear and hauling ass like crazy!
suspension was way too soft. With new diffuser setup car is being pulled down to the ground with about 75mm and scraping over 200kmh. ..
so stiffer springs comming up
That intense heat from turbo is really damaging the paint while standing still.. and to get some more air in i had to drill some more holes.. while standing at least heat goes straight up...
Will put alu mesh on it as well..
Really impressive! Really appreciate you keeping us all up to date. Can't wait to hear more about the performance as you dial it in.
For some reason, dont know why. I managed to start a new thread some weeks ago.. i just could not find this one, haha..
well.. few updates since then.
car has been running REALLY good, except some cooling issues and oil leaks here and there, its all fixed now.. was testing it couple of weeks ago with rolling launch, that was awesome!
next up, upgrading from 630cc to 1200cc injectors and going E50/E85 .. curious what that will result in regarding power output;)
Great to hear! By the way I recently found some new old stock (NOS) side pod inlet extensions if you want to get some more cooling. I also found some NOS Turbo noses, front radiator, coolant hoses and turbo crash box. The body parts may be too costly to ship to you, but the side pod extensions should be reasonable.
that coling issue i had is now fixed.. all i had to do was getting a smaller oilcooler that would fit in between my chargecoler connectors and set it upright.. straight behind the cooler gave it massive cooling effect while rolling, and the 7" fan controls temp while idling, driving slow/traffic:)
would be really awesome to have a frontend like that, but not em i only short of funds this days, but im realy concerned for fitment..
My car as we speak has PERFECT fitment between all body panels, and sort of show finnish look to it..
while my bosses car basicly looks like its been hit by a tornado with all that damaged panels with Tesla Gaps all over the place hehe
would be a shame to spend 2.000 on a panel that would give me a headache..
easier for me to modify my panel ith cutouts for air and all that;)
New day in dyno, running e50 ethanol mix, 205kpa boost made 338hp/340nm to the wheels! Thats about 110nm
more to the wheels then last time😂😂
wheelspin on the dyno as well
1200cc injectors upgrade.
check out the ignition table, we have 4degree correction at after 200kpa. Thats really aggressive.
And it still wants more
Earlier this year, compared to a stage 2 m3 (500WHP) on full wot..
this was me running at around 0.8bar of boost and 240NM to the wheels..
on ethanol will be a totally different party factor hehe:)
vs a 388WHP mazda mx5 and a tesla 3 performance
Not a sports car without some bangbang;)
