you have to drive it at 100% nutter mode to have fun though, there is no middle ground. When i drove a ITR it was either dullsville A to B or full on attack.

Wasnt a dig just generalising, I think Gavins initially seems a bit low due to the fact he has a stright through exhaust on it. It would closer to 145lb/ft as standard iirc

Just uploaded about 100 pic's to my garage

Was a really good day, good to see all the SE crew and other people

Im very happy with my run of 214.2 hp, most unmapped z-let's with the mod's i have dont normally see over 200

Im sure once the car is mapped it's going to see very good power indeed !

Any way's few pic's of the day

And a few either being run

And last but not least, there was even toy's for the junior member's

Thank's to JR and Willay for the day !

I disagree, mine was fine and made more power than ant's with less mod's

needs a remap for a start

then relocation, it sits in a dead spot, needs that pipe removing, and a cold air feed from the standard location (where the corsa c dbilas pipes come from)

like this one

why else didnt they design it to go where ant has his...... would of been easier for them

I do love all this "ctr's are shite because they have no torque" shite.

If torque is THAT important then why do CTR's give 200bhp turbos with 100lb/ft more torque a bloody good run for their money?

Unless you have driven one you really can't comment.

Anyways looks like a good day and Ben G your result is bloody impressive!

That is how dblias desighn them, it's like saying a car with TB's wont make full power because the trumpet's are at the back of the bay...im sure where ant has his would get more air.

He is going to try a piper X induction kit i have and see, im sure it will be worse with the heat saok
