I went out in stage 3 and it did feel like it pulled really well but i just love the thump in the back from masses of torque.

I'm led to believe other SC cars do spin their wheels so, I think it might be more to do with my driving style and respect for the drivetrain, to be honest. :blush:

Look to be about 12.25 on boost, and you could have drawn the line on the graph with a spirit level.

Good results Simon! How does the throttle feel with the adaptronic going from fly by to cable or which ever way round it is?

No need for constant digs at Aimy. Ive been guilty in the past after being anoyed about pm's but you seem to dig all the time. She has already said shes getting driver training nd seems to be after a quick but still good looking car. To be fair you seem just as bad as Aimy chasing big brakes and a harrop. Id love Aimy to put you in your place around a track sometime.

I think most are guilty of chasing power. Exspencive habbit to have, as I'm finding out.

It's just jest and no spitful feelings behind it. She gives it back just as good, but sorry if you feel its meant in any other way George. :)

Mr Simba. I have come to the VX world from the world of massive horsepower, upwards of 1000Bhp and torque. More than 30 years of huge V8 Chevrolet engine tuning. I have been watching your build and a few others here and on other forums. Your choice of components and selective tuning are simply the best VX ones that I have seen. Your power graphs are superb. Your car must be a real joy to own and drive. As can be seen and you have stated, the power is there for ALL of it to be used all of the time. A very wise choice, The car is a real credit to you. Is there now one definitive list of what you have done to achieve these results and prices along side so that others may benefit from your splendid work? A complete build spec sheet would be very interesting reading I am sure. As I say. Hats off to you. Great work. No need to do any more. Just enjoy owning and driving it. Regards. Korkey.

if you can get 1bhp from £10 then you are doing well on the power spend ratio
