Sleeper style :lol:

 

Memory has gone blank so thats it for now.

 

Right then i have just quickly converted the Nm figure to torque, to show the actual torque figures as in my eyes it is a good torque curve but the graph makes it look short and peaky when its down to the torque peaking so high in the 1st place.

 

As can be seen i have a minimum of 260lb/ft between 3000rpm > 6000rpm, now at 2500rpm its 166lb/ft which is the same as a G Lader peak torque and quite close to a pullied, chipped and flowed charger, and right on the limiter its still doing more than the previously mentioned set up. For the torque to double in 1000rpm between 2500rpm > 3500rpm as it comes on boost you can imagine the problems i have with traction in 1st and 2nd :) hence why i need longer gearing and quite possibly i may be trying the CTN as a cheap alternative to the VR6 set up, i think i have made my mind up.

 

RPM = lb/ft

2500 = 166

3000 = 258

3500 = 317

4000 = 332

4500 = 339

5000 = 317

5500 = 291

6000 = 258

6500 = 239

 

On the 2 seperate graphs with red lines they are the same dyno run from my engine, just shows you how different they can look to the eye as in the 2nd graph it looks like it has more torque for longer compared to the 1st graph even though they are identical runs.

 

So again Green line is torque, Black line is BHP

 

 

 

So opinions please?

at last we get to see the beast :lol:

That is looking sweet. The thing that caught my eye externally are your calipers. They seem to be one of those nice details that just set the car off. :thumbleft:

Who took the rolling shots?

 

Very good indeed.

Apart from the very top pic all the rest were taken at the Golf+ photoshoot, the top 2 moving shots i was going a full half a mile an hour :lol: so anymore pics i get up will not be of the same quality.

 

Just been looking at them and a few things have changed nothing too major though. so will update when i can find my damn cam lead to PC.

Im not the only sad 1 then :lol: currently up to 5 years Golf+ and PVW.Dont know if you read any older 1's recently but i still find them a better read years on compared to the shite they are now.

[joneinar 0]

no I don`t have any older than that.. 3 years aprox...

 

now I almost only buy pvw, it`s hard to get hold of golf+ where I live (norway)... seems like they suddenly would`t sell it any more here....

Its just sprung to me and it was Michael Whitestone i think he is called and works for various mags freelance, also does alot for Mini world.

[raddo-dave 0]

Well if i had a cam to do the vid i would do, and you have dipped out for not just a ride but a drive as your not doing ED38 now, how comes???

[_leon_ 0]

well moving to edinburgh within a week, off to moldova for a quick trip next friday, start the new job 2 days once i'm back, skint and no-one from here is going to my knowledge. may change as i want to meet up with folks (like yourself) - so just staying flexible for the moment. being in a high powered corrado will kill me until i do more to mine though lol will try mate.

I hardley post on here any more but i have to say this is one of my favorite raddos 8)

[boost monkey 0]

Sweet lord that thing is clean :-o

 

Deep turqouise paint + gunmetal wheels + big calipers = woot :shock: #

 

good work buddy, what colour is that? do you know the veedub code for it too?

[junkie 0]

I wish it still looked like that, 2 years ago now that was, worked out i need to spend around 40+ hours minimum to get it looking the same.

 

Its not clear in my service book but is either LC6V/LC6U but the colour is called pearlescent green.

40 hours of what - cleaning?

[junkie 0]

:lol: :lol: yep thats right.....

[_leon_ 0]

cant be serious! how did you calculate that?

[junkie 0]

Its been neglected for ages and ages and im wanting to get everywhere detailed, maybe not perfectly but to the standard my car will allow without been in the body shop and i work slow :lol:

[_leon_ 0]

whats the general paint condition like on it?

mines not great - but then i'm in no rush - it'll get stone chipped etc quickly anyway due to the way/places i drive

[junkie 0]

Personally i think its not great but i see it everyday, the usual 16 year old condition.

 

But i have been told quite a few times that considering its 16 years old its in good condition.

[_leon_ 0]

how did you attach your radiator fan to the radiator?

[junkie 0]

without looking i think its kind of pushed in some how, but however its done it is a common way to do it, will take a look when i get chance, its been put away for the week now.

 

_leon_ you def decided on 1.8T now :)
