One of us has got our brake discs on the wrong way??

I'm sure Dave B advised me the way I've got it unless I got the wrong end of the stick??

Car looks ace 

Lovely...love the way you have improved the original car! 

Great wheels, what are they called.

^^^ These are branded Dotz Exile, but from what I can tell they are made in the same factory as the VMR V710's, hence the reason they look exactly the same 

Been another busy and expensive week with the car.

First up was the 30k service.

Then the V3's where fitted, pics and review to follow 

Also, and not before time, the production version of the Revo Stage 2 software. So now have the car running 100% right and it drives beautifully now, pulls like a train with no flat spots or hesitation 

Finally the main part for the next project arrived, can you tell what it is 

have u found someone who will custom map it for you then ??? 

Is it one of those Hoovers that Robin has just bought, and written a review on.

No it's some of those fancy racing driver shoes!

Nope

any dyno printouts from REVO stage 2 steve. 

reading JKMs section on the other websites, his made 277Hp/325Lbft with evoms, S3 cooler and cat back exhaust with only the REVO stage 1 map. 

so yours id guess is pushing around the 290-300Hp mark. although apparently it then started pulling back after hitting a torque limit.

that and JKMs rollers read quite low compared to others

No dyno plots as yet.

A similar spec car with the latest Revo Stage 2 file ran 298bhp on PDT's Dyno Dynamics last week: -

Nice one Mr P.   

 

360 ft/lbs....

bloody hell!

That new engine is bonkers. I mean are you going to hit 350 bhp / 400 ft lb with a K04 bolted onto it then??

I knew getting the R with the old engine was a bad mistake. Grrrr. Not having much luck with choosing the right engine these days
