Carbie Car Guys!

Nice thread. I drive an old 3 series.
I still drive my good ‘ol E46 330D and I love it. It hasn’t given me a day’s shit.

It’s fun to drive and that straight six motor is still a nasty little beast. Love putting my foot down taking off from the robot :D
 
Hiya all. This is my baby.
TRD Suspension and HRE F40 Mags, Engine bracing, upgraded ICE system.

Do you have the TRD exhaust system too?

It sounds good but a lot of reviews said it can get a bit droney.
 
Too often do we neglect the 100 - 0.
I can safely say that a stock Polo can do 100-0 in 2.4 as VW claims 😂 .
Transkei goats are lucky they are still alive😂😂...

0-100 is really the goal of a fast car though!

2011 Polo 1.6TDI
Going to have a stage 1 tune done at some point...
 
One day, when I'm older I'll get my dream car, the Nissan GT-R.
For now I make due with a Ford Ranger so I can haul shit around instead of ass.
 
Any recommendations for a place in Gauteng to do a resonator delete on my fiesta?

SupaQuick at Menlyn is my go to for such exhaust mods. Otherwise Rogue Performance if you're doing full exhaust.

 
Are you sure those numbers are kW and not HP?
For a 2000cc engine with a volumetric efficiency of 100% (unlikely) running at 1.6bar above atmospheric pressure (2.6bar pressure) you would need the ambient temperature to be like -80°C to produce 479kW injecting an Ethanol mixture. Did they have an aircon in that Dyno room?

Good call - I like the way you think...

That said, it could still be possible to make that kind of power at the quoted boost levels with a nice big turbo and a built motor revving to 11k RPM. ;)


@BillyBob Show us your ride

Nice one on the GT86 Steve-o... lekker driver's cars those.

I'm dailying an Audi S7 at the moment.

Full exhaust, SRM8xx Hybrid RS turbo's, SRM intake, and APR Stage 2 at the moment - I need to still take it in to get the Stage 3 map loaded to suit the turbo upgrade.

This is sexy

Any idea what Rogue Performance charges? Can't seem to get through to anyone there.
 
2004 Astra G OPC Silver

In terms of mods it has all the Astra H OPC bits and bobs which was referred to back in the day as "stage 3.5". So its VXR turbo, injectors, afm, 255 lph pump, bigger cooler, 76mm dp and exhaust and obviously tuned for all the above.

My 2005 Astra Coupe has pretty much the same mods including the Astra H forged pistons, upgraded low end bearings and a CAI thats behind the lower spot light.

For reference what power is yours making? Im running 179kw and 439 nm torque.

Sweet, so it's pretty much in line with mine which is also at the wheels. Do you have any suggestions for springs (no coillies, just too expensive) and brakes? The stock brakes isn't good enough anymore!

You benefit a bit more because you're at the coast, and the stock brakes were never good [emoji23][emoji23], up here we got ebc yellow stuff pads with slotted and drilled discs with steel braided brake lines, works a treat. As for springs I wouldn't know.

Haha yeah the fresh coastal air works a treat! I'm looking at getting these discs - Turbo Coupe (2001 - 2006). My cousin has a set on his fiesta ST and it made a massive difference. Steel braided lines is a good idea. I can feel the brakes becoming spongy and that's no fun on the track. 🙈

Powerbrake discs and yellow stuff pads are a winner combo! I ran that setup on my Opel TS and now on Fiesta ST. The Opel really had a hard time stopping... xD
 
Wanted to do exhaust on my NP200 but never mind
NP200, do that on the nearest street corner my bru! :D No need for rogue and watsekak alles. Just pratley steel a gutter and you're good to go.

ps. jk jk. I also drove a NP for awhile. Why don't you just do a midbox delete?
