Nice car with some nice toys!
Was well impressed with the power, especially on JKM's dyno and with the heat on the day.  :congrats:
Hat of to R-tech for the mapping, would only have considered sticking with Revo till seeing your car.  Was so impressed am currently deciding which wmi kit to get.
My eddy feels reasonably quick but yours must be well rapid.  :driver:

Was the WMI a worthwhile mod?

I've been trying to order a snow kit for a few weeks but American dealers are a pita

And his NOS was not much of an improvement, i kicked his ass up the strip at inters with my stage 2 KO 3.  :jumpmove: but to be fair he knew he was up against the better car and driver and just fell to pieces.  :grin:

well the engine gave up,  it had done 10k and is now is firing on 3 cylinders and smoking.

Was going up a hill in 3rd got to 5.5k and engine light come on with lots of smoke and 1.5k limp.

discounted the battery to i could drive home  and it was not fun. (went along the sea front people enjoying there chips, then I come along and stinking them out!)




I am not sure if i want to get my engine rebuilt or just buy a s3 engine?  what do you think?


looks like i am back driving the TT doh!!

Has it got anything to do with your internals not coping with it? Also the water meth must of been a culprit too

I'd buy an S3 lump, always a risk running such high power from your engine. After seeing it run at JKM recently, I was astonished with the power it was producing.

Sorry to see this same thing happen to someone else running such high power. :sad1:
