CTWG60

My guess is, besian, you sold the liner without checking it first. Got the money in your account, realised the drivers was damaged on removal and thought oh well I'll send him the other one as well to make up for it. Reckon you got that little lot posted for about £7 and made at least £15. Put it down to experience and lose a few quid christ!

You've got to be joking! Damaged in transit? The guys trying to get his money back and pull a fast one! Andrew took a hacksaw to a wheel liner just for the picture, come on! For £23! I don't think so! Someone's bloody telling porkies! Just refund him. :roll:

Bloody hell what was wrong with undoing the screws that hold the plastic liner or drilling them out if they were rusted! Refund besian! Jesus!

:lol: A Spectacle indeed!

Just refund him for gods sake, it 's £23 is it really worth the hassle?!?

Run a stock one unless your breaking them regularly!

No doubt.

3k=150bhp=value for money! :) And you don't have to get your hands dirty!

He's using 660cc injectors and 100 shot of NOS.

Imagine the cylinder pressures, 2 bar into an 8:1 CR engine of 2.0L producing 650bhp! :eek: At peak power rpm each cylinder has to produce 160bhp+! :lol: He must have dual bank injectors for lower rpm resolution.

Bit sexual Rob! :D

It's just unbelievable for a standed looking car with a 4 pot! Imagine racing it at the lights, you'd just hit the rev limiter in first due to shock as you watched it pull away. You might have a clue there was something up as it sat there next to you spitting fire at 4k waiting for the lights to change! :lol:

Just found this... http://www.torquestats.com/modified/index.php?car_id=45 Anyone got the redline article who wants to scan it so I can read it. Never got the mag or the back issue. :(

Enough is NEVER enough! :D

Ahh, thought so! :D

Are you being sarcastic? :scratch:

coe of drag is something like 0.36 I think. Frontal Area I don't know although there was a thread on dubforce covering that subject.

Your welcome thanks for the feedback.

So ok I said I'd explain about choosing the correct cogs so as you don't lose wheel torque between gears. Assuming that of the 111 views this thread has had some people actually read it, I will continue. :sleeping: You'll quite often hear people saying when they change gear they drop right onto peak torque in the next gear and how cool it is. To be fair this is no bad thing but what actually matters is how much multiplied wheel torque you went from in one gear and to in the next gear. If you had 1500lbft in gear one at 6200rpm and changed into 2nd dropping 2200rpm to 4000rpm where the wheel torque available was 1300lbft regardless of the fact that peak torque is at 4000rpm you just lost 200lbft of torque at the wheels. You need a taller 1st or a shorter 2nd so that when you change gear you lose little wheel torque and thus get the most acceleration from your engine. The same is true in the following gears and this is when you hear people talking about short ratio gearboxes were the difference between one gear and the next is small and so no wheels torque is lost. I'll go through the calcs for this but if anyone wants a very useful spreadsheet that will do this for you pm me your email address. To make use of it though you will need to know your wheel dimensions, gearbox code/ratios and have a rolling road print out for your car.

Well from what I can tell looking at some of the images and head chamber which doesn't look modified. I think it's more then 10:1 maybe 10.5:1 basically it's a strong naturally aspirated race spec motor with a G60 attached> it only has a 4mm dish in an 83.5mm piston, that is just not enough to lower the CR. :eek: Needs a spacer gasket, job done. But bye bye massive 8v torque too! :?

Looks like it's blown the head gasket now, causing overheating and is running lean. It's for sale once more...

Can't believe I'm asking this now but I'm confused! The boost gauge on the computer, what does it measure boost in? Matey suggests, millimeters of mercury (mm of hg), Where as the the corrado club.com again confusingly lists millibar (mbar), what looks like Kilopascals (KPa) in the first column and then psi in the last column but then mentions (in. hg) Inches of Mercury! WTF is going on can someone clarify. I thought it was measuring mmhg but was confusing the numbers with to mbar and then converting to psi! What's going on? :lol: EDIT: googled the vwvortex forum it would appear it's mbar that the MFA outputs! Doh!

Have you reported it to the police? There are cameras everywhere and you never know maybe this idiot will be picked up and think twice before doing the same again. Unlikely I know but worth a shot.

:salute: An engineering project indeed!

They are the same!
