Rev3 Turbo - SMG - NOW BREAKING

[jasongtr]

hopefully i wont break it, i used a spare set of arms and subframe so the car wasnt on my ramp for too long, then it was a nice quick swap over

sneaky peek at the freshly refurbished wedsports



the colour is BMW M5 anthracite (apparently) seems in some lights to have a slight blue tinge to it - wont be able to tell properly until on the car and in daylight

[jasongtr]

quick clean and out for a blast, handles very well even though its not even been set up yet, cant praise the front tyres enough, lots of grip.

Very nice

Have you thought about replacing the UK front plate with an import sized one, to match the holder? I did it on my last car and it makes a big difference

Before


After

[jasongtr]

yes ill be changing the plate, to be honest i never thought it would come back on the road without the toms bumper i have for it so it would of had an import one for the little cutout in the bumper, but the bumper wont be painted until later in the year so i just chucked the one back on i took off

Those Noble seats suit well. But they look Very upright? is that just the picture?

[jasongtr]

could be the picture, they dont feel too upright to me when driving, the thing with the noble seats is the headrest part is at the same angle to the back so they look a little strange anyway in comparison to other fixed bucket seats that have the headrests at a more vertical angle

small update

thanks to user Marf managed to set up the boost controller so im getting 18.5psi now and not under 16, had the manual but it may of well been in japanese for all the sense it made.

also got the suspension fully setup and corner weighted today

car weighed in at 1200kgs exactly with a qtr tank of fuel, space saver etc.

note to anyone running tein superstreets wound very low, check them with the weight of the car on them, i know my springs are an inch lower than tein std on the front but they were not wound all the way down, and the guys setting up the car said it was on the bump stop so there was pretty much no damping happening, so they cut the bump stop down a bit, slightly raised it (not that it notices too much) and now feels much better.

Camber was miles out too.

[stephano]

[jasongtr]
