My other car, Evo content! 1/4 mile action

[paulgtt]

Just got the car back from having it's few little tweeks done.....


......it's f**king rapid now!!

It's had an uprated turbosmart actuator, new 3 port boost solenoid and a remap.
I don't know the actually figure it's putting out as it was road mapped but Mat at MG Autos (guy who mapped it) said it should easily be into the 400's.
Iv been having a few issues loosing power up the rev range but now it's solid all the way to the redline, got to be very quick on the gears now lol!

Whilst it was in having the work done they have the car a thorough inspection and the knocking noise that I mentioned earlier in the thread has been pin pointed to the rear coilovers and not the rear diff as previously suggested.
So bad news more money needs spending but good news that I can get some shiny new suspension

Few pics from today at Parson Drove show





some "action" shots











Evopug lol





It was wet on the trip there and had a bit of a "moment" coming off a roundabout and sticking the boot down in 2nd gear, the car went sideways, first time its ever gone that far round anyway. Apparently it looked quite cool from inside the Clio lol! I need to be more awake with this thing now

Double checked the read out on the Gizzmo controller and I'd hit 2.08bar boost! Spoke to my mapper when I got home and he said that the car actually holds solid at 1.9bar, he had come across this whilst mapping and has said that the controller does slightly overread and its nothing to worry about.


Next thing on the list is a trip to Santa Pod on the 9th August for a RWYB to see what this can really do
