    Holy ***** that's awesome!! Looks like it would be a blast to drive mate! Congrats on the great numbers, traction must be an issue in the first 3 gears now though

    Wow that is a amazing number, and people say you can have too much power in a fwd, more power = more fun

    I was thinking 320 sounded a little low as people seem to make that number with hybrids these days, 390 is more like it.

    Going to try to hit the magic 400hp ?
    MODS- TOO MANY

    Defo more fun. Was wet the other day on the motorway and I was in 6th, put my foot down and it lost traction. Tested to make sure it was oil or something on that part of the road and it did it every time I tried

    When I initially had it mapped at 22psi I was extremely conservative knowing full well it is good for 28-30 psi and have still left some to play with as it's now mapped to 26psi

    I think it would be stupid to go anymore at this time until I can work on the traction issues

    Well with the new found power and and struggling to lay down the power in 1st - 3rd gear because of my current drive train set up I decided it was time to change the wheels for something with a higher ET so I don't need to run camber to get the them to sit within the arches. Ideally I need to get some R888's but as I'll be putting the car up for sale soon I'll just transfer the tyres I'm currently using and see how I get on.

    New wheels are home made 7.5x17 using BBS RX2 centres with BBS 041 baskets.

    Going to test fit tomorrow to work out what size spacers I'll need.

    Won't be to everyone's likening but I like them :mrgreen:
