well seeing that mikey is still running his long ass supercharger thread i thought i would pop this one back up ( mikey )


Well over the last few months i have decided to undertake some work on my car.

when i received it back from the usa i had new kw3 but no geo set up, and to be honest the front bushes were seized, but me being me i wanted to drive it, and so i did, mase and i ended up taking it to euro meet which was very good and auctioned a ride in the car whilst we were there, however it was not the greatest on the roads due to the set up.

So since then i have installed front and rear cusco anto roll bars, fully polly bushed the entire car ( a job i never want to do again) then took the car to Tony at wheels in motion.

I can only say good things about W in M. tony knows his stuff and was recommended to take the car there to him.

Well a few people have been in the car prior to this set up and since and the transformation is like night and day, and i stil dont know how i used to put all the power down before.

Also i then decided to fit an oil cooler (setrab 19row) and changed the oil sandwich plate, and run the water lines from the stock oil cooler to the turbo and have now water cooled my turbo.

Along with this i have wrapped the manifold, downpipe and wastegate tube with thermotec heat wrap which is brilliant, cooled the engine bay alot.

hmm what else, oh had another 1lb of boost added in third however i am on the case and getting a second map with higher boost as and when i feel like a nice blast.

anyway hope i have not bored you all too much, but what i will say its not all been plain sailing but its been fun and god i love driving it still. However the only bad point is i dont think its that fast anymore, but i am informed by passengers it is

Mr R... can you get a datalogger in there?
Something like the Racelogic Performancebox?

You can play 0-60/100/deceleration/GPS lap times on track etc.
Would be a cool set of numbers to play with I think!

the only data logging i do is aem, and can record times and speeds etc, so maybe tunnel run nite i will bring the laptop
