It's absolutely a joy to feel the rev free engine, it had a shaft delete done as well, with everything coupled up its a different experience... The torque is absolutely insane... :laugh:

Any track plans for it?

Ah thanks mate, yes it's one of the mods that makes the car handle amazingly well and I wouldn't run 300 plus bhp with an open diff... Yes the plan is to get some better coilovers and verkline LCA and hardrace camber arms... Get area motorsport to set it up... Also some staggered lighter wheels... Then Snetterton which is my home track 😬
SANDEGTI:
Snetterton is my home track too! Although never tracked her because it would show all of the imperfections. :ashamed:
Super awesome build and wow what a result from R-Tech! Intrigued about the differences between what you were running before and after, I plan to CDL swap with a Stage 2+ setup. Already have everything I need. Especially with an LSD, does it get the power down well? Is there a big difference?
Good luck and have fun at Snetterton! :happy2:

The power and torque difference is astronomical, you wouldn't say its the same engine... It had a really bad map before, very linear almost like a supercharged car, now it so smooth and very powerful with loads of torque but still pulling close to redline which is what I love and wanted. Don't like a big boost spike and then dies off...
As to traction, I'm currently on Michelin ps4 225 width and 2nd gear need modulation a lot due to traction issues but 3rd gear hooks nicely. It's very good with the lsd as you can exit roundabouts in 2nd with half throttle and it will rocket out of them... With 255 fronts I suppose it will be better but time will tell.
Is yours going to be k04 powered as well? What suspension mods you thinking?
Aleksandar:
Not a pleasant job, I'm half way into the job. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish and get a test drive 🤩
