Ninja,i will change my sig when its on Fleas rollers as its only 20bhp more on another rollers than Fleas.
Would be nice to see some minus 10 degrees then take it on the rollers and see what it gets as its been between 15-19 degrees ambient on the rollers so far.

The car is simply too much on the road,yes you can part throttle but when you full throttle concentration is required.
The power is always there with the 2.5 if you need it.
And i havent even driven it on the full boost setting yet in anger where Flea tells me its breathtaking..
I will save that for the track.

Yes,its now too powerful and it scares me.Or should i say it gives me the Sheikh's. laugh

A whole new level of insanity... crazy

The combination of the legend with the wizard, can only result in a nobel prize for coop enhancement. laugh

Hearty congrats to the developer, tuner et al and the man with sackfuls of cash..you all need to join the super BHP club.

Now there I was running around in my scooby, whilst the coop was having more upgrades, unknowing that coop is going "beyond the black rainbow"..

JBT maybe you feels like this at 1.9bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ertVYn750

WELL DONE CHAPS!!

Erm so if theres a Wizard and a Legend does that mean im the one in between with the now very empty wallet laugh


Nigel,i hope you didnt get the sack for laughing.

I have now started to appreciate the low end torque today and its nice to take your time.
Idles perfectly at 700 rpm ooo with 900cc injectors....
Very happy.

JBT, what are the exact specs to make it 2.5 instead of 2.4 ??

Might have been blinded by the impressive figures but couldn't find anything yet..

Thanks..

Jochen

Thank you
