Chris Wiltshire Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 On the way home from having an Uprev done last Monday I was able to keep up with an F-Type jaguar, even from acceleration. He clearly knew I was behind him and was giving it the beans. He started weaving in and out of traffic which at that point I backed off. His car probably cost 60k more than mine and is probably thinking the same as you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is driving probably the nicest looking modern car on the road at the moment and we're in reasonably priced Japanese coupes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffGTV Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 ..shame the guys who designed the front and rear of the F Type had a falling out and deliberately tried to design their end not to match the other... the back is unforgivably awful whilst the front continues to ape the Aston styling (too wide mind)..

Wizza2000 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 no one takes a blind bit of notice at a 1 series as just to many of them 135i coupes currently taxed: 734 350Z currently taxed: just under 7000 Forget the coupe thing they all have the same ugly mug front end. He said 1 series.I lost count at 24000 units and got as far as the 116d couldn't be arsed to add the others up. Common as muck. Sorry Guys just meant in general the 1 series, if less coupes then cool as i honestly do not like them, but then again thats own personal choice, i just like japanese cars...

chrisday1990 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Think how much better is they used a 350z HR í ½í¸œ on the top gear track under the new format and called it the reasonable second hand buyers car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffGTV Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 ..incidentally, you F type fans - anyone else see that the weird razor edge on the back is so out of place on an otherwise curvy GT - as are the oversized exhaust.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Should imagine your closer to 1550kg so on or around 300 bhp per ton Probably more , as I have heavy wheels , heavy brakes and a heavy charger install Just got to weigh my zed with the above all fitted ....... Inc 3/4 tank of fuel , I was bang on 1600kg......which although being pretty heavy I'm pleased with considering what I've added . Only think I've taken out is the spare wheel .

Interesting and good to know, i had my jdm weighed at 1450kg, that included a weighty sub box, no spare wheel also etc. Will get my supercharged one weighed when its on the road as a comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My akabono brakes are heavy and as mine is the stillen charger set up ( for HR and 70's ) it runs a rad filled with water . I guess the 3/4 of fuel would be around 40kg? Also running an extra 2 litres of oil inc a large oil cooler .... I was expecting 1700 to be honest ! That makes me 290 per tonne ..... Happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with that Great bhp per tonne, take a look at the list linked, some proper machinery with that sort of figure Never thought about just a std intercooler rather than charge cooler?

Jetpilot Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 You didnt manage to get the weight difference between the brakes did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 You didnt manage to get the weight difference between the brakes did you? No I didn't mate .... Calipers there's not a lot in it , it's the discs that are crazy heavy .... If I were doing it again I'd go for the 2pc disc set up as they are meant to be a lot lighter . I reckon the new brakes set up added around 10-15 kg compared to standard brembo set up , but imo they are far better . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Makes me smile every time when I see people in here saying LS conversion is so easy... Is expensive and complicated as hell when you're not somebody like Bizz or DarrenB in here. Is not like you just buy an LS engine, plug and play and here we go. The Sikky headers are made for LSD cars from I remember and don't fir the RHD cars, so you need custom headers, along ECU, wiring looms, new dash etc Just my 2 penny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
