Pre RS spyshots

dandan · May 23, 2006, 08:49:08 PM

Ha, that got your attention!
Afraid it is only spyshots of my puny little motor, but I had to take these to send to the insurance company, and know how much you guys can\'t resist pics of RX\'s!

It needs a serious clean which I will do before Rotorstock (maybe) and fingers crossed for the MOT thursday but apart from that it is ready to go!

Big thankyou to all the RE:Worx team who somehow squeezed me in this week among all the crazy power cars getting ready for RS, they tuned it perfectly to 260rwhp at only 0.6 bar, this is because it has only stock fuel and warm plugs so the T78 has a LOT more to be wrung out of it in the future.
I wanted a nice safe state of tune and that is exactly what I have got, still fun but it should last a while! Cheers!

I\'ll do a spec list eventually, but it isn\'t actually all that long, there are still a few things I would ideally like to upgrade on this car.

looking good Dan, glad you finally got it sorted. a few easy fuel mods and you should see another 100 hp with ease....

What was the smoking in the end???

Cheers tony, if I keep her i\'m hoping to hit the magic 400 one day, not sure if the turbo will take it though...lol!
The smoke seems to be just shed loads of residue from when the turbo oil seals were gone and the guy still ran it for hundreds of miles. A few solid blasts should clear it all out of the system, and if not then I just have a slightly smokey car, it still runs perfectly so why should I worry!?

Cheers Rob, if it gets to RS it will make my year!

congrat dan...it is now time to start enjoying an fd after all this time fd-less

Congrats, looking forward to seeing the car (in action??) at RS!

On a side note...did your car once reside in Colchester? Looks very familiar, can\'t be sure but that plate, those wheels and the colour...hmmm.

Nice one Dan! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh! Be careful with this one mate won\'t you.

gmogle · May 24, 2006, 06:37:13 AM

The power of Guiness eh !!!

Very nice looking car mate although I dont think the wheels go at all. Nice set of Volks would finish the car off a treat !!!!!

Nice though mate, love 99 spec stuff.

dandan · May 24, 2006, 07:44:44 AM

fddreamer, yes the car used to be owned by a guy in colchester so it would be the one you saw. It won\'t be in action at RS, just sitting around looking pretty i\'m afraid.

Rob, cheers i\'ll try and keep this one on the road for a change!

Gmogle, don\'t underestimate the power of guiness!! And I totally agree with you about the wheels, do you happen to have a nice set of Volks you would like to swap with me?! 17\'s would be fine thanks!

Also does anyone know what make the sideskirts are?

Freddy · May 24, 2006, 07:59:36 AM

Pretty sure sideskirts are Re Amemiya.

Looking good Dan, glad it\'s now sorted.

dandan · May 24, 2006, 08:14:08 AM

not sorted yet guys, everyone has to pray to the car gods on thursday for me when she goes in for the MOT! Its the last hurdle before rotorstock and knowing my luck....
