Fried egg lol :D They sound good standard. What do they rev to?
Standard it's pointless taking them over 6k, most of the power is bellow that, with milltek it's around 6.5 and remapped it's worth letting it pull right up to 7k. So I have heard :rolleyes:
 
an idea or two for you koa:

LOL, that's John Thorney's car. He's the guy doing the remap, and he provided the zorst, a really nice bloke. Did you get to talk to him mate ?

He was on the tele a couple of weeks ago talking to that Vicky BH from 5th gear.

I see he got his other lambo door on before the show then.

yeah kirsty pointed out the thorney stickers last night. i didnt realise when i took the pictures but he was on the stand advertising the lambo doors not the vxr stand which was also there!
That car actually belongs to Vauxhall, he's been given the freedom to develop all sorts of mods for the car but ultimately the car don't belong to him so it gets a hell of a hammering :D It's just under 300bhp ATM and they are about to fit a larger intercooler and a charge cooler to allow it to be pushed a little higher. Can't wait to have a go in it next week :D

lol, he does all the testing himself :( Jammy git has access to a test track. He's had that VXR up to 160mph in a head wind.

Just been talking to him about the Lambo doors, they take a full day to fit one door :eek: He's over the moon with the quality of the door kits though and I am rather tempted myself :D

Did you get to sit in the VXR mate ?

think that was on the VXR Stand :cool: :D
I think the guy who owns that is the the same guy who organises all the BTCC tickets for us vxr owners. Some really nice guys on the scene that's for sure.
I'll try to get some video of the RR day while I'm there too.

yeah thats the one, but didnt have the black decals on iirc. and yeah it was on the vxr stand.

i did like the wheels on the thorney vxr (y) what would you think to red in the centre and blending to black?
I'm finding it hard to commit myself to going with black wheels at the moment, the red sounds nice, it'd be different that's for sure but I want it to look intimidating and I think the red in the middle would maybe take that away from it :chin:

I have tried loads of different styles on the car and nothing so far beats the one's already on it.

hehe, there's no so thing as too fast :D

Any one see that Vroom Vroom last night ?

It was pathetic :mad: They didn't even know how to get the power down properly. When a cars got that much umph you don't just floor it from a standing start :D
