nice, some RR graphs of that'd be nice. Just wondering, did you leave the 1108 in there, or drop in a 1242 before tuning it up?

How much has all that engine work set you back?
 
Oh yeah I remember this car from before. The one thing that I would like to ask is you say it has a Cosworth turbo, Cosworth do not make turbo's, yes you could have a turbo from a Ford Cosworth, but even that leaves a few alternatives. Is it a Garrett T3 as fitted to the Sierra/Sapphire Cosworths & first 2500 Escort Cosworths (& Lancia HF integrale EVO1) or the T3.5 that was fitted to the Sierra RS500 Cosworth or the T2.5 fitted to the later Escort Cosworths and integrale EVO2's?

For the record a T2 is fitted to a Renault 5 Turbo, a T2.5 is also fitted as standard to a Nissan 200SX turbo, or is it a hybrid? i.e. a turbo made up from a mixture of different ones?
Popular on the 5 is a mixture of T2 and T2.5.

I have a Garret GT15 (Garrett have renamed the range this would have been a T1.5 in old speak) on my Cinq which I believe is the same as VW group 1.9TDi's. :)

Having a more technically correct & therefore accurate information list on your car would go a long way to quenching any doubts out there to the validity of the performance claims, (on reading back the old thread these are apparent) I don't doubt the figures, but I would think the drivabilty may be questionable off boost, and why do you not have a strut brace bar to try and curb the inherent front end looseness that must be further highlighted by the extra power. :confused:

Valid points from Aaron.

I always thought the performance tuning route was induction, exhaust, brakes and suspension before going onto engine mods.

If were being picky then there is a few spelling mistakes on the site too and maybe a guest book would be better for comments etc.

Love the car if i was to be picky, a deep red would be nicer and the interior seems a bit cheaper than the bodywork as i had them seats and know they only cost £90 each and arent the best whereas the bodywork has cost considerably more and has had more thought and time spent on it.

Good site except the images take ages to load and arent the best quality and there isnt enough detail in the specs such as what turbo etc.

sorry if i have offended i certainly didnt mean too just stateing what i thought although overall the car is damn good and the site aint bad just needs very slight improvement.

First time I've heard of a site having to go off-line for updates! Very strange.

Will be interested to see this car when it's back up.
 
Am I the only one on here that's a little sceptical? err 150BHp from a 1.2, albeit turbocharged at that? You would have to run some serious boost!
Post up some RR printouts and prove me wrong ;)
