Here, here!

Was the car still running ok?

Happy b-day.

Nothing to say you need to buy a brand new 1k+ turbo.

There are plenty of decent units out there that'll do 300+hp that only need different flanges for your setup.

Find yourself a nice twinscroll and forget about lag.

Lol at the fuel. It sounds like you have it all well planned out as it is ATM. :D Cost doesn't seem to be an issue either. ;) Only thing i think i could add, is if you go a bigger turbo than you first consider, it will run cooler and put less stress on other parts, while running less boost albeit wi...

Makes for an interesting car for sure 8)(shame we don't get the same "sticky-tyre weather" as they get) , but gearboxes are the PITA of tuning. :( Soooooo much money and it's the thing you don't get a lot of choice out of. A top quality clutch certainly helps matters and i'll always try to tempt the...

What you wanting at the end of the day? Power-wise etc? Any turbo can of course be made to fit, so you needn't go for some brand spanking new Garret jobby and if your getting some pucker liners in there, a good whack of boost shouldn't be a problem. If everything is built properly and something brea...

What CC's will you race engine be Mikie711?

Call Fast Glaze Auto or FGA for short. They are based on South Street Glasgow, but will come to you if needed.

The main man is Danny and his number is 0785083661 or 0141 954 4333.

Tell him Dave from JMD Motors sent you.

Ahhh see what your saying. Never driven the S1 to compare, though maybe one day i will.

Although the pads have plenty life in them, they're very dusty. 10 minute run and the wheels are caked.

Gotta agree about the cost for performance. Even when you take into account running costs.

Many thanks...oh and happy birthday.

I think the turbo run-on is improved by remapping, at least it was on Europas. Funnily enough, spoke to Graham at Lotus earlier and he mentioned this. Seems a few of the VX guys have had a remap which DID help the problem, but we're investigating a bit through Vauxhall ATM, to see if there was a re...

Still not as good as they could make it i reckon, but upset it's the last of the current series.

Seems like it only started a couple weeks ago.

Thanks again guys.

Can't say i've experienced the ABS kicking in yet, but only just getting used to the car. Sooooo want a Larini on it.
