Thanks all for the warm and somewhat questionable welcomes Laughing

Subject: Re: I'm new.... Mon Nov 03 2008, 19:31

You haven't heard it running yet:
- bag of spanners when cold and erratic idle.... bad times!
- full throttle with the loud exhaust note and charger whining - good times

Very Happy

Welcome Lisa... be good to have a little Rado convoy up on Thursday...

I'll bring some ear-plugs for you so those nasty fireworks don't scare you ok? Laughing

We HAVE to get yours and Smithy's G's into a tunnel side by side too, awesome sounds!

A dude I met on Saturday night said the same thing!

I love you

my G60

Subject: Re: I'm new.... Tue Nov 04 2008, 11:23

yer they fell well sporty, wa ur G running spec wise atm?

Subject: Re: I'm new.... Tue Nov 04 2008, 11:51

Stage 5 rebuild with 68mm pulley (needs another rebuild very, very soon Shocked

)
SNS chip
Pipe 270 degree cam
RSR charger outlet
Boost return removed
Piper 270 degree cam and kent adjustable cam pulley
Solid front engine mount (which I think has just recently snapped due to the dodgy idle/kangarooing thing when cold lol)
Fully ported throttle body
Jetex cone filter and shield (I'll be replacing this with the original airbox once the charger has been rebuilt)
Full stainless steel exhaust, de-catted, centre silencer box removed with a Magnex 4x6" oval backbox.. in other words, pretty much straight a through exhaust system Cool

When I first got the G a year and a half ago, it was running 192.5bhp and 195lb/ft which isn't too shabby Smile

Subject: Re: I'm new.... Tue Nov 04 2008, 11:54

wow lot of work, u notice much with the cam? i love the sound of the boost return mod, i ran some tubing down from the isv to the ground and it wud blow dust from the road lol

Subject: Re: I'm new.... Tue Nov 04 2008, 12:00

I notice the idle is very lumpy even when it runs right Laughing

I've never driven a standard G60 so wouldn't notice a difference with the cam apart from that it would probably feel a lot slower.

The boost return deletion & RSR outlet gives out highly SEXUAL noises on boost ... one of my fav things about having a G-lader Very Happy

I have been tempted to save up for a BBS Lysholm charger but have read some horror stories about them after just a couple of thousand miles!
