new pics of my GTI

[arbitor]

hi guys after your opinions , and also the fact i couldnt bare the noise anymore i deceided to get a custom exhaust on my car.. in that time its also been lowered at the front to 50mm in total to match the rear









and an evo that was paked outside looked very nice, pushing alot of bhp apparently 400+




that was custom built by longlife inbasingstoke, full cat back with a "mild sport" note.

brilliant service and so much better than something like a magnex as its welded infront of you and has the life time garantee and all for the sum of 299 inc, so i think its very good value for money when you consider what you get.

has improved the car leaps and bounds as the last one was a mess and was just eating all my throttle response, drives splendid now.

Nice, I like the subtle understated look, not at all chav/boy racery

[arbitor]

he did say do you wanta 4" tailpipe which is quite large in the flesh i said no thanks lol

although it does give a good tone

whats more is the guy who fabricated this was about my age (19) much respect to him to be fair he was great.

Oh I see.. so when you said back here:

btw its on an odd hill hence the lower than normal back end

You were being a little economical with the truth eh?

So from the above should we interpret that as 'goes fast downhill'?

ooooooh busted!

hehe, basically now the car rides flat, so that the back isnt alot lower like it was.

il try and get a pic up of it on perfect flat, but im happy.

only thing is the eibach springs that it did have for the 30mm drop were stiffer..

the exhaust that was on there before had been a bodge 1.4 lx one so was blowing all over the place as it didnt actually fit the car, now thats all gone. so im hoping when i get it dynoed i should be getting what its meant to have (167 bhp)

maybe more

got some track wheels going on here tomorro to see how i like it!

Also the calipers are being painted yellow and somebadges are coming for the sides..


On another note tomorro lunchtime i will be going in a supercharged gti-6 pushing 400 bhp so will post the video of that badboy tomorro, after we eat some m3s

I like it

[arbitor]

My track wheels on, think im going to leave them on for a while i like the look of it





its very low here as the profile of those tyres is even less at 45

[:: blade ::]

car look nice mate, look nice with the black steelies on ive got a fiesta Si, wich i will soon be converting the engine from the 1.6 16v to a nice 2.0 16v cant wait, need to get it sprayed up aswell.

[arbitor]

fair play mate, im having a custom built supercharger conversion

freind of mines with the superhcager he made and is now selling as a kit, his is producing 391.5 bhp i would go for less to start but its silly fast

comments welcome btw the car there does 0-60 in about 4.5 ish seconds and does quater in low 12`s

[markymicro]

Glad to see that alot of people are going the supercharged way, I started a custom built supercharged engine, but to cut along story short, I got rid of it and got a new Corsa D Let me find a pic in all it's glory.

[arbitor]

looks good, i liked the way it was driveable and if you wanted the power it was there

this is what the one i shall be getting looks like..

Wow! Out accellerating a porsche! I won't pretend to know how it all works, but isn't bolting on a big turbo likely to blow an engine? (I'm obviously confused)...

[Moby-Dick]

I can do if you aren't prepared for it Josh.

a little money on strengthening the internals can go a long way

The lump in my nissan hit just over 500bhp in the previous owners hands , albeit witha very big turbo

I'm aiming for a little less at 350-400 with a smaller turbo , but the forged pistons , rod and metal head gasket help

[dave87]

Doesn't it also come with the implementation, and driving style? If you just bung a turbo on there and whack up the boost, or redline it from cold, its likely to go boom before its time, same as if you don't service it regularly?
