Post by: Jake on June 16, 2005, 09:09:02 AM
Just become a fully paid up member so I thought I\'d say hello.  I\'ve got a red 1996 RS model that I got from Miguel at Newera about 3 months ago.  It\'s got a few mods but just the basic intake, exhaust, wheels, wing.  I\'m planning a lot more for the future.  Here\'s a pic

Cheers guys.  I can\'t do the pod on Sunday as I\'m away this weekend in Cambridge visiting a mate.  I\'m planning on going to the GT Battle at Rockingham on the 25th though if anyone fancies meeting?

car looks good ... like the bonnet :D

Welcome aboard .
Title: Hello Everyone
Post by: Jake on June 17, 2005, 12:34:56 PM
hahaha, yeah I know.  The bonnet will be changed as soon as I get the money for a Scoot original.  I\'ve had the car dyno\'d at WGT though and it\'s running lean on the top end so I\'ve been advised to keep it below 5,000rpm.  First off I\'ll be getting a Feed downpipe, Knight Sports metalit cat with either an Amuse R1 Titan or a Kakimoto GT1.0z Titanium exhaust (I can\'t decide which at the moment).  Plus I\'m gonna get a Apexi Power FC to sort out the lean issue and a Blitz SBC i-D boost controller so I\'m affraid the bonnet will be there for a while.  Might also get some sort of water injection to help the intake temps cause I can\'t afford the Knight Sports V-Mount I want at the moment. :D

Nice looking car mate.
If its running lean already be prepared to fork out for bigger injectors and fuel pump.

Cheers.
When it was at WGT getting the full service and dyno Pip suspected that the injectors either need cleaning or it was just setup lean from the factory so they might be ok once I\'ve got the Power FC to get it properly mapped.  I\'ll take it back to Pip soon with all the mods I mentioned, oh yeah and a Knight Sports AST, and get it sorted properly.
