hope so looking forword to seeing it :D the man needs a :guinness
Jesus! So he must have a street port, front mount intercooler, bigger injectors, fuel pump, ecu, probably gone single turbo, larger radiator, anti lag too I\'d have thought. Do you know what intake he\'s using (probably blitz or apexi...), and if he\'s got ducting sorted out...
He probably took out the passenger and rear seats to get that sort of time...
Bet he\'s using S02\'s as well. I take it that was a dry day? what kind of intake temps did he get? Was he using an octane booster?
hehehe - cheeky git! :)
You forgot the MoTeC exhaust system!
What??:confused:
I suppose he was using a midpipe? did he get any boost creep? I guess he must have polished it before hand, so it slipped through the air quicker. Was it the later 16bit ecu? What sparkplugs is he using? Was it auto or manual?
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS DAMMIT!!!:mad: :reallymad :mad:
It runs 4 cats and a dog, mid pipe is from a mini moke, light bulb spark plugs, 84 bit ecu with 35.64 extra bit jets, powerhydrahover drive gearbox, single injector from the QE3, running on lighter fluid fuel!
Oi, Butch! find them videos!
Couldnt see any thing on AR this morning :(
