Nice one Si, nice pic:rollin

Will prob get the car dyno\'d sometime in next few months as its not really top of the list to be honest.
Compared to my other cars its stupidly fast:eek:  not sure where to go in the midlands to get dyno\'d? i think graham goode?

Trying to get hold of a double din unit first as the one in there at the mo is just a cd player leaving a gap above it.

[scooby_si]

er where\'d it go thou??
Not got any experiance with Goodies but if i were you i\'d take a trip to Nobles up in Chesterfield bit further mind.....
You want me to ask around about GGR must confess i never even realised then had a RR just that they weren\'t the cheapest for scooby bits

 i really wanted it too.  my bubble has been burst.  


damn you triple plate clutch...  damn you to hell!!!!

[gsb876]

Calm down dude,

if you want a big power rx7 then its a must to have either a twin / triple plate clutch to contain the power output, best thing to do is take it out for a spin and see how you get on. Dont let us guys put you off:(

Just took out the missis in mine and showed her the potential power, after a few screams and shouts had to turn the boost back down:rolleyes:

Weather permitting Si should get the same treatment next sunday;)

But Minty take her out first and see what you make of it, dont write it off just yet:wave

ID go single, I had the apexi rx6b and was making 401rwhp at 14psi with a major boost leak preventing  boost between 6k and 7500rpms. The coupler at my intercooler had a hole so I couldnt get a real solid number. I drove it daily and it was fine, quick boost, full boost by 3400 rmps, and it was smooth. Gas mileage was great when I wasnt hopping on it. I liked it so much I sold it and went to a custom t04r and am looking for 500rwhp this time around

I think a single turbo one would have less problems if it\'s used as a everyday car, or am I wrong?

There is a RR in Walsall (W Midlands) if anyones interested... just behind Midland Performance Centre http://www.m-p-c.demon.co.uk/

Iv got a triple plate clutch in mine, sits at 315bhp, its hard at first to pull away but u do get used to it lol.. saying that the revs need 2 be around 2000 - 25000 to pull away smoothly :yes

I run 460+ bhp through my twins ( yes I know I\'ve just blown them up but thats constant abuse on the track and strip, but they have lasted a long time ) and I run a single plate clutch the same as Geff does in the 9sec FD. I used it as an everyday/weekend drive  low boost 300bhp high boost 462bhp all you do is touch one button and thats it, up or down. when you have it mapped you can say what bhp you want the low boost to be, by setting the low boost at that bhp. If that makes sence.HTH. :cheers

I can\'t see the big deal between single vs twins and everyday driveability. Our cars a single turbo from Ross, it was abit of a crap drive until Jaydee recommended putting in a single  ACT clutch. Have no probelms with it at all. It\'s almost as easy to drive as any regular car, just got to watch out on the acceleartion peddle. The girlfriend even used it for a while as here everyday car - and that\'s saying something! if you want a single turbo to be driveable it is definately possible. :yes

OH errrrr bit non PC? Polly has driven ours all over Europe [including track days] without a hitch [phew ]

Been told to include she always wins the \'1st out of the traps\' @ Dartford tunnel :rollin

[gsb876]

TBH John,

She makes alot of house calls in most areas there\'s many speed bumps so it deffo dont make sense to take the RX plus she doesn\'t really ask as she\'s quite happy driving the MGF now its no longer lowered down  :cool

Was struggling to get over the speed humps with the MGF  :eek

Even at .85bar it feels loads faster than when it was on twins running 305atw\'s...

Careful about that tho, boosty power delivery feels faster psychologically even when it\'s not overall, because you feel a "kick" more than you notice a gradual build. I drove a unmodded 200SX the other day and it felt WAY faster to 60, whereas actually, it\'s more or less the same as mine.
