Please people , rember... BHP does not determin the rate of acceleration of a car. it mearly measures its physical pulling power. The Torque is what creates acceleration.. And if you compare a 200bhp N/A to a 200bhp Turbo, the Turbo will have LOADS more torque. an example is, i have a 2ltr converted...

Want to buy some better tyres for the rear, as the ones i got are budget, what tyres would give a good wear / grip ratio ? im more after grip, but i cannot afford new tyres every 4 months... so an example of P-Zeros = Way too soft!! Also, what is the biggest size i can fit on the rear? im thinking o...

ill get the clip off me mate when i next see him, but i dont no how good it has come out, as it was on a phone, and he is usless at keeping a steady hand :S but if it any good, ill put it up!

surely a std rev 3 can match an m3 ? the 0-60 on them is the same is it not?

ok mate.. i did think this might be the problem

thanx

Its a blitz 380 turbo, 380 bhp capable, err, im not 100% on the spec as i didnt get the car too long ago, and im not 100% up to scratch on the parts.. but i do belive (and will check) that it has forged pistons in it, must have to run 1.6bar and not pop! by racing gas, do you mean nitrous? would tha...

My tubby is running around the 310 fwhp mark at around 1.6bar mo, with mods such as a bigger turbo, better intercooler, apexi filter, decat, hks fcon-v ignition and fuel piggyback ecu etc etc now i have felt and appreciated the torque and power, im now hungry for more!! i want to get it to the 360 -...

I have tien coilovers on my rev3 tubby -they are from about 1997 i fink, and the ar$e end feels really bouncy.. iv herd the tubbys are a bit bouncy on the back anyway, but surely the tiens would fix this? i dont no exactly how bouncy it is in a tubby with std suspension, but if you boot mine up a ev...

I had a bmw M3 convertable pull up beside me the other week, and we blatently see him say to his gf 'Nice bodykit but i bet its slow!' then he booted it off the lights, (i was laughing and didnt realise it went amber , so he got head start) then my turbo kicked in and i sat behind him snaking like a...

will the 9% make much difference to the acceleration of the car? im not tooo botherd about top end really, i just enjoy the pull of the acceleration. but 1st gear does seem a bit short to be honest... and 5th is a bit Revvy at 70mph... i can watch the fuel gague drop! lol

i have herd that a cat 1 alarm will cause problems if fitted when there is a turbo timer installed ?? is there any way around this or alarm system that will work with it? i have a lazerline alarm fitted at mo, had remote locking , that about all.. but i want somethin with Full closure, remote lockin...

I see a mr2 for sale a while back through JDI , which had a 6-speed gearbox fitted.. (supra one i fink??) has anyone on here done this? is it worth it, and how much work is involved + cost.. And would you still be able to keep the LSD? i would like one myself, preferably with the same ratios on 1-5 ...

Setup a Poll!

tintop turbos have a strut bar as standard. and the t-bars are NOT as rigid as a tintop. t-bar for the poser, tintop for the driver ;) [-X But not everyone is going to rag the boobs off there car on every bend they meet!! the slight extra stiffness of a tin top would only benifit someone using the ...

I personally recon the T-Bar is the better version to the Tintop, as it is exactly the same, yet has the posing ability should you want to use it, and has a rear strut brace as std :P dont really flex any more than a tintop neither. feels less confined too.. and its kinda romantic, being able to par...

I am going to get some Alpine Type-R components for my rev 3 tubby, what is the biggest size i can fit in the doors without cutting etc.. + will i need spacers etc ??

nearly 400 bhp!! wow if it is! but then again, the turbo is a blits k1-380 @max power 380bhp.. i dont no what the std pistons look like, but if i have a look anyway, what will i be looking for to tell them from std ones? also, im thinkin of changing the oil and filter as i dont no when it was last d...

Hi all just wondering if you lot can give me some tips on what parts to go for , for strengthing my 3sgte bottom end?? basically me car is running a LOT of boost at max (1.7bar !) and i obviously dont want things to go pop! i only purchased the car last sat, and are still learning the terminology et...

ok, thanx for your advice.. iv been in a ferrari 348 berlinetta which i fink is more than 300 rwhp.. but it didnt feel half as quick as my tubby.. prehaps its my turbo lag, prehaps mine is faster? i duno.. and i been in a lamborghini diablo 2000 model sv, with the 6.0 v12 @ 610bhp, altho i gota admi...
