Title: A quick vid of the Tripple FD

Just a quicky,  it doesnt do the sound of it justice though as it was taken with my phone.

4" down pipe split into two 3 inch home made rear boxes.  No mid box at all.

Next is the paint work. ;)

Oh damn, I\'m jealous. But isn\'t the car still warming up, kicking the acceleration hard already :O!!!

Hmm, is this your car? Congratulations if it is, you must be a very very proud owner! (And in debt with the bank LOL!!!)

:) I\'d love to own that !

its not my car, although it does have lots of my blood sweat and tears in it. Its my cousin\'s.

Mike,

it has been living for sometime now but we have been doing lots to it.  The brakes have been set up for the bigger front discs. We poly bushed it throughout, changed the exhaust, refitted the whole engine bay, fitted some more clocks, electric water pump, controller, made gearbox mount, fitted a 3.9 rear diff and custom mount and re made the charge cooler system. Plus the home made wide arches which now need paint.  

Its been initially mapped at 9 psi, at 440 RWHP but it still needs running in a little more and then a proper tune and more boost.

I kinda of liked the look of the 2 boxes that were on it - they were silencer boxes without any tips/finishers right?

they are now on my FC :D

the boxes he made are virtually the same but are a slightly different shape to maximise the space under the car.  They just sound a bit deeper.

Mike,
The supercharger will probably go another project just not sure what yet.

We took it Santa Pod today for its first run and did a few 1/4 mile runs  while we were at it.  its only running wastegate pressure at 8psi and first run out it did 12.7 at 112,  did another 4 - 5 runs and they were all 12.7 or 12.8.  Thats on street tyres and 19" rims so not bad for her first go

we did initially but we had some problems with the oil system and then Re worx built it and mapped. We did all the custom ali work, manifolds and porting, they built the engine block and did the oil system which feeds each rotor seperately
