chettle Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 As were all petrol heads, hope you can all appreciate the work thats gone into this... Its a 2.3 stroker, with a GT3572,eibach springs on bilstein shocks, rose jointed everything, 330mm disks with evo8 calipers under 15inch wheels, done ALL the work himself apart from the mapping, and it made 608bhp Mental is not the word with this one!!!

AK350Z Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Feck. When's he painting the bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 christ thats a lot of motor to power something about the same size as a gnat's testicle.... what width tyre is he running at the front? thats going to ballistic once the tyres hook up!

Must have carried over the 4WD surely? What would be the point in 600+bhp through the front wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chettle Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 nope... FWD only.. No-go in the wet, but hes got some gear driven boost controller gadget thing, which he recons should help put the power down! Fresh set of slicks went on yesterday and hes down to Mallory on saturday! It does have road wheels with 225's, cant remember which they were, but they lasted about a week before this boost controller went on!

The Chubby Ninja Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It could be a drag monster if it had the 4 wheel drive conversion.Its got to be one of the fastest FWD cars in the country, surely. Love it tho its an absolute beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chettle Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 he wants a vid of him destroying my zed for a lil montage.... soon as its sorted ill get it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome! Alot of blood sweat and tears must have went into that. Although 4wd would have been my preferance, rwd if he was a nutter! If that was my car I'd hide the intercooler and change the bonnet to OEM and then I would be king of the sleepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Pretty mental, not a fan of the exterior. Massively appreciate a 600bhp evo lump though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Let us know how he goes. That's a lot of power in a small track car. We had an NSXR (not sure if you had them in Pomland), little FWD Nissan, he whipped all the powerful RWD's Z butt's at one of our drag days about 5 years ago. He was putting down over 400FWKW's, well over 600 horses at the shoes. Absolutely die straight on a very slippery strip, no traction problems. Quickest on the day, by quite a bit.

DoogyRev Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Now I thought my 1.9 GTi back in the day was fast.... and a little bit of a handful in the wet... but 600Bhp Good work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I love a 205 and it looks like a lovely example. Need to see this 600bhp in action though as can't see it working that well! The new focus RS slips and slides in the damp even with all it's FWD wizardry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveparkin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I love this car I thought my 1.9GTi was lively, and my mate's MI16-engined 205 felt nuts by comparison to that with the standard 160bhp out of a Citroen BX.... ....that thing must be terrifying. Looks like a nice clean install. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Actualy holy @*!#, thats a proper install as well. My cousin had 600 and something in a Civic, dont think Ive ever seen anything shift like that in my life. The fact he was happy to do it down bumpy B roads was even more astonishing, you can make these things work if you set them up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 nope... FWD only.. So instead of it being an utter;ly epic machine, it's another FWD scrabble wagon. What's the point in going to all that effort (and it does look very good from here) if you're left with something that's hideously under-engineered to actually put the power to the floor?

evilscorp Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 nope... FWD only.. What's the point in going to all that effort Not to be classed as another very fast rwd/4wd car but maybe become the fastest fwd car in the uk? think its still held by RS tunings *Specky's* tegra. similar hp out put to this I think. I know which title I would rather have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally he wanted to beat pug1offs 406bhp gti6, so at those powers, traction isn't a 'huge' issue, but as time went on, goals changed. I can appreciate what ur saying but look at the 9second civics in the states, or malta... The UK is very behind in the fwd department, and I personally like to see the boundaries pushed! Give it time and I'm sure it will end up 4wd anyway, its had every pug engine going, so I don't see why it wouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chettle Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just to revive this... I managed to blag a ride out in it the other day, Wheel spin is MENTAL... but between spinning up the wheels, and stopping like its hit a brick wall, the things an ANIMAL! It made another friends 614bhp Evo8 feel slow! AND it turns corners! MENTAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
