He was more annoyed when my Abarth beat him and then got a bit more annoyed that my old T-Jet that someone else brought off me and was driving was not to far behind!

Did you sell it to someone local to you?

If I remember correctly the bloke that came to collect it drove a fair distance, so not local

Yes they are, M32 gearbox same as the Astra VXR

 

[yellow seicento]

tht may have helped you win?? I read somewhere it shared the same gearbox as wel,

 

[TallTom]

That and the Sport button would have, increased throttle response as the Grande T-Jet (at least if not all engine models) are fly by wire, rather than mechanical throttle control from the pedal

plus he didn't get much gains from his Abarth turbo and map

 

[TallTom]

Actually his remap silp stated quite near 180Bhp so would say that is not bad gains from the "120" stock that they are meant to be.

his figures were

176.1bhp 211.3lbs, I would dissapointed with that after all the mods he did, just saying...

 

[James1989]

can i speak on my own forum thread now?

 

[TallTom]

Yes you may

performance wise all he did is change the intercooler, induction kit and change the turbo and get a remap. considering the standard Abarth is on 155bhp on that turbo, 21bhp from the intercooler and some pipes and the remap is not bad at all. Yes i know the turbo is undertuned but shouldnt expect massive gains, its a 1.4 not a 2.4

lol the irony is after i said that my internet went down, obviously god dissagreed with my input haha

i was just going to say the same thing, the inlet pipe, all my silicone hoses, the engine covers were all obviously just for prettiness sake, the only real performance parts were the turbo, intercooler induction and remap and considering the ecu on the tjet isnt as responsive as the abarths it wasnt a total fail, as said its a 1.4 and the turbo isnt massive either despite being better than the tjets. as i said i enjoyed doing the work and seeing what could be achieved as much as a 19year old insurance premium would allow,

but now im 21 going 22 insurance is low enough for me to move onto more powerfull engines. if id gone outright for power i wouldve changed the actuator the injectors the fuel pump and then new cams con rods basically a full rebuild and wasted huge amounts of money on a car that is already quickly depreciating but for the money spent the increases were very reasonable

Im not disagreeing that its good for a 1.4

But when other t-jets see around 160bhp with filter/exhaust and map it's a bit dissapointing that the abath turbo didnt add more.
