Ditched the DV relocation last night. Took me an hour. lmao. Couldnt get the stupid hose back in the inlet manifold. for ages. My own fault for startin it at 11.00. Feels much better but its from one problem to another, gettin the stalling back now. Gonna get the forge one end of the month.

 

[Forbez]

Is that for sale now phil?

 

[PhilW]

What? The relocation or the TIP?

 

[Forbez]

The relocation.

I think i need to relocate too! Im losing it lately!

 

[davidol]

red forge "siliconhose.com" hoses now fitted :d poor girlfriend sat and watched me/sunbathed for 3 and a half hours earlier, lol woops! wanted to remove the pipes and clean them down etc, duno what for as you cant see them but thats just me! looking good now, will take some pics in a bit

Hows the DP and Stage 2 then Phil? Any logs yet?

 

[PhilW]

lol. Grant 'forgot' to put on stage 2, well, i think he has, i dont know coz he wasnt there when i picked up my car. They did manage to take the car out with the 4 bar i put in when i left the car there. But the join looks good, big old U bolt on there stopping it blowing.

DP hasnt really showed up what ots like yet, but it deffo helps, turbo spools a lot quicker and sounds nice. But i got that boost leak, which Jock found, ****ed brake servo line, proper ****ed. So i gotta go back down on saturday and get S2 put on.

Take it to Seat they'll do it for nothing. It's a recall. Had mine done back last year it was much worse than that. There is a thread at the top of the this section

 

[Forbez]

Infact i've got two letters in the house about the recall, im sure mines been done but i better double check!

 

[Forbez]

Think my maf is on its way out too! Fekkin thing!

 

[acidstrato]

clutch still slips abit

but have noticed since swapping all the silicon hose over that my occasional no boost problem only last a couple minutes now compared to 20-30minutes before.

very strange

I know im not from wales but last night on way home from work had a play with a new Astra VXR, anyone else encountered one?

I was really surprised just how quick they are, neither of us could shake each other off

Whats there power and bhp/tonne?

 

[Forbez]

Power iirc around 240, and feckin quick!
Good motor, good looking car!
But a vauxhall!

Web figures say, power 240, 320Nm torque, and 0-60 in 6.2

Never had a go with one, but just booking a test drive!

 

[acidstrato]

i tried having a go with one once after they were just released

i love em, immense machines, my pick of the current hot hatch market but the ford st is a better allrounder i feel

must be near 190-200bhp per tonne id imagine

 

[Jonzy]

If the handling is anything like the denzil sri I had last week, not much will touch them in the bends!

 

[Forbez]

VXR is 170bhp per tonne!

 

[acidstrato]

werent far off then

tom, r u coming down on sunday

 

[Forbez]

Yes i'll be there! What time you meeting and where? Will you be going for a Early morning Maccy D's brekkie?

 

[acidstrato]

i think so

prob be at either the maccy Ds by coldra or the smaller one by the cinema at around 9.45ish?
