911 Carrera 4 (996) (He bought this for his wife but she did not want it, although in his divorce she suddenly wanted it  :grin:)


....Why am I not surprised?  :laugh:



In the good old U S of A there are businesses which cater for divorce parties for women!

To get back on topic (unusual for me): Now that I understand better what the LobA turbo is being developed to do, does this mean that it should be possible to remap so that the power doesn't cause wheelspin and loss of traction?

What day is the disco dyno dude? Count me in. Need to drop you some ££££ in as well. Did you order me the bsh hardpipe so i can get my cooler plumbed in?

Eyup Gaz,
Its ok I've put your picture up on the wall  'WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE'  :signLOL:

Disco dyno is towards the end of the week, I'll get the TB pipe sorted for you and I've ordered a spare meth kit too, cos I can read you like a book!! :smiley:

We personally thought we'd done garbage at Inters but apparently we came second and you third in the MK5 + MK6 cat so not bad for a couple of hill billys from Sheffield hmm?? (told you your little motor was quick)
Need to get that disco dyno'd too!!

Prob see you this week

If only you were closer Steve.  Would like to take a drive before I buy one.

I'll try and give you a call tomorrow.  Need to gang up on revo to get a true off the shelf map.

No probs to give me a tink your more than welcome and I agree with you about Revo.
We are running very stable fuel trims and intake temps with the GIAC flash though,  This thing does have some serious grunt to give
Remember this turbo is the little baby of the bunch I'm pretty sure they can be made a lot bigger, I would imagine GT30/76 ish power is no problem with a lot lot less lag

Had a chat with one of the lads down there earlier as you were busy.  Just need to get hold of Simon at Loba and get things going.

Just need you to hurry up with dyno figures!

I do think you guys need to gang up on REVO and make them produce a map.  Get JKM to stick one on their 2.0TSi octavia as well!!!!

its called a 911 why would they change the shape as it would not be a 911 if it did not keep to the 911 design

There is keeping the same shape and keeping the same shape!!!
I've seen bananas that look more different   :signLOL:
Let's just agree to disagree  :happy2:

I am not a Porsche fan either, i'm lucky in the position of having driven several of them over the last 10 years as my mate is a massive Porsche 911 Fanboy and is currently on his 9th Porker and I have driven 5 of the 9 he has had (He won't let me near his latest GT3 RS  :grin:) probably as I will get out and say "Rather have a 458"  :signLOL:

The 911's of his I have driven:-

911 RS (993)
911 Carrera 4 (996) (He bought this for his wife but she did not want it, although in his divorce she suddenly wanted it  :grin:)
911 GT3 (996)
911 Turbo (996)
911 GT2
911 Turbo S

Had to say I preferred the 911 RS (993) purely based on looks.

He still keeps trying to convert me as he knows i'm a huge Ferrari fanboy and he hates ferrari's, ETTO  :signLOL:


My sentiments exactly  :happy2:

My mate also actually bought a brand new GT3 RS and sold it after 3 months as he couldn't get on with it as a daily drive - he's now got a TTRS  :signLOL:

My mate's GT3 RS is strictly his track toy, he shipped it off to a german tuning company on a low loader to have some work done on it so with its slick tyres it now only goes on the track on dry days, his daily driver is a Merc SL65  :happy2:, his new wife drives a Golf  :happy2:
