Engine looks great, now all you need to do is change those rear lights

Those dyno graphs are looking sweet!!!

Now at least we might have a closer drag race.....

Yes DD.... why dont you just pop over quickly and help me strip the car for a colour change at the same time....

Went to check up on the bug this morning... tuning is still ongoing and I should be able to pick it up tomorrow morning.

I took her for a drive and had so much fun.... wow, different car altogether.
At that stage she was sitting with 126kW at 5320rpm and 241Nm at 4450rpm, with over 200Nm from 2800rpm all the way to 5500rpm.
A slight dip in power and torque at 3200 which is getting worked on.

more news tomorrow....

Wow thats almost 170Hp thats impressive

got the car back today.... easy to drive but slightly dissapointed by the lack in revs. I was hoping to hit at least 6500, but changes are happening around 5800 or so. If I push it, I can hit 100 in second. Maybe a cam change is in order sometime in the next few years.

I have some videos, but youtube is giving me grief and wont upload them.
0-100 is definitely in the sub 6 second range (under 6), with the video of me hitting 100 in 2nd hinting at it possibly being 4.xx seconds - I'll need to double check that one again sometime, but for now lets just say its under 6 seconds.

That sounds good tony

If I may ask, how much did Jesse charge you for the dyno tuning? Im thinking of taking the buggy there, let him rather set these deul solex's

100 in second thats awesome

Anything under 6's to 100km/h is VERY quick. Scaring some entry level (if there is such a thing) supercars there!

Welcome to my world Chrome Dome...

Now at least our next drag might be a bit more fair!!!

He did it in 2 stages. First stage a while back so I could run it in and now the final tune. Each was in the R800 regeon.

Cool so now you can start enkoying the bug

Ja, once there are some on the scene, the hobby and money for the hobby goes to shit.


Good luck!!!

PS. Someone once told me that if you find a realy hot chick that is single, is because someone else had enough of her shit

finally one video has uploaded....

Now that does sound good! Well done, not one pinky noise!
