Yeah wondered why a tank was lasting a lot longer lol Im just praying this part gets here pronto (2 days paul hopes) so i can get it sorted, coz after monday i have no free time till november!

FrankstaH · 27th September 2012, 15:16

Tim!

Think of it as a blessning in disguise.. the car is going to feel even more awesome now once you get it all sorted!

I guess you'll be in with me and Mark this weekend for work then ha ha?

Can't wait to see what your cars like... I really wanted a go at Ace Cafe... but no were to drive there ay?

What power are you expecting after everything is done?

civi08 · 27th September 2012, 15:27

This is true, if i got used to and was happy with how the car was when it was only at half the boost... its gonna be brilliant having 10psi back! With the cams in it'll be pretty much exact to the setup dezi had and he was at 330bhp. To be honest though im just happy with any gains, i got the JDM cams on the cheap so just whacking them in and see what happens. But i guess if they help make about 10bhp on average when NA.. that'd be the minimum id hope to get from these on my setup

Yeah Ace Cafe meets are great but not the sort of enviroment to be able to go for a fun drive. Plus is was soaking wet that day. I'll take you out on friday, although im not supposed to hammer it with the way the charger is at the moment. But ive been doing so since i had it, and who knows how long ive been missing the part. So we can still go up and down the dual carriageway a few times and you can at least see what only 5psi on the CT is like, give you a taste of what your going to have to deal with when you've got crazy power under your right foot lol

CAn't wait mate!

at least all is well Tim ! I was reading expecting you to say charger needs replacing

but thank god only a Minor fault !! Glad it's getting sorted & extra powers when you get it done !! It will be like having the charger put on all over again

then ill give you some spare nappies I have got for Frankie

coz he'll need them & when you get your boost back it's going to be fun fun fun

I need nappies anyway mate! Not just when i get in a monster Type-R

civi08 · 27th September 2012, 16:14

Yeah i mean you can pic up the whole bypass valve for 80 bucks, but its literally just a silver bar of metal, a clip and bolt or something so its only small parts that doesnt mean your whole charger is ****ed if something happens to them. Just messes with pressure so obviously its not what you want.

To be fair though as soon as your on hi cam your flying past all the cars you'd expect, its not completely taken away the power. The beauty of the CT is its instant power especially low and mid range so with the slip diff off the line even with 5psi no one stood a chance, but im certaintly looking forward to getting all my horses back

Staffs Deltic · 27th September 2012, 17:33

As already said above it is good nothing major is broken, frustrating all the same. Be like a new Car when you get it back on full BOOST.

Nice pics as well Tim.

R555 · 27th September 2012, 18:00

I must admit one of the reasons I hate modding cars is that nothing ever goes smoothy and it sounds like you have similar luck to me but think of how amazing your car will be once the cams are fitted and you get your missing 5 PSI back!

DEZIBOY · 27th September 2012, 18:05

Gutted for you Tim

civi08 · 27th September 2012, 18:08

Cheers lads! Yeah cant wait, it topped off a bad week really in which an indicator bulb went and you've got to change it via the wheel arch, then the battery went flat whilst on the M1 services the other day so had to get the AA out and sign up. SIGH! Then again whilst parked at tdi yesterday morning for 2 mins with the engine off and radio on. So new battery as well.. Meh! lol

J_H · 28th September 2012, 22:54

Explains why I was thrashing you around the track

Think my battery needs replacing as well though

Work is poo.
