A few dc5 mods last weekend

Awesome.

Great choice of mods as well! Someone been taking advice over on ITR-DC5?

To be fair most cars were making low power that day, a teg with the same mods as me with cams and a less restrictive exhaust only made 225 :S

Artech mapped the car (pretty highly regarded, they mapped Dixons DC2 race car) and the map is spot on. Mine did make quite a bit more the day it was mapped on a different roller. Guess it just shows figures dont really matter that much, it drives well.

I like the fact you dont have to keep remapping with the mugen, tbh id quite like to exchange my twinloop for something less restrictive but then you got £250 every time you change anything.

Interested to see what you make anyway

Maybe the rollers give very low figures then - or maybe others are quite generous? Either way if you can tell the difference and are happy with the inprovements thats the main thing. Yeah the N1 is ideal for me, i'm happy i found one 2nd hand!

Shhhh... I've been driving Steve mad with my blowing exhaust, he said it's never been right on this car. LOL I been to birchdown twice with it

lol yeah it drove me mad too!

Awesome.

Thought so Yeah, it's quieter, but can't be beaten for info!

I've been a member over there for a while now, yeah. Just changed jobs recently, so as soon as things get into a rhythm there, i'll be sorting my own... finally!

Yours looks bang on mate. Great choices.

I finally got my spoon 4-2 2-1 manifold fitted today at TDI North. The rolling road figures are 231.3bhp and 168.3lb/ft of torque.

I'm quite pleased with the results really as i still have the oem airbox and oem exhaust. Hopefully i'll find a 2nd hand gruppe m and a quietish exhaust system then i might get a few more ponnies out of it

Downsides to the spoon manifolod are quite an annoying whistle/tick on acceleration and the engine management light staying on. I was told about the nouise before hand and i dont think its too bad really.
