That is one awseome spec car. How is it at getting the power down? Does the gripper make it really snatchy at the front?

Cheers Iain :smile:

It puts the power down really well as far as I can tell. The best test will be on a wet track, but so far so good.

I think it's a combination of the Gripper not being set too aggressively (so not too snatchy) and the charger delivering the power in a very controllable / 'NA' type curve.

 

[sonny172cup]

Nice Spec mate, bet your well chuffed.

 

[Cub.]

Nice Spec mate, bet your well chuffed.

Cheers Sonny. Yep, I'm certainly enjoying driving it. Need to adjust my driving style in a few places.

 

[Iain C]

Sounds fantastic dude. Hopefully see it about next year.

Nurburgring trip first, then let's organise Wales '15 around that.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Is it still pink ?

 

[Mr Plums]

Cheers Sonny. Yep, I'm certainly enjoying driving it. Need to adjust my driving style in a few places.

Me too :smile:

Its totally different, different gears on different types of corners etc.

Excellent spec Cub.

Excellent stuff, who mapped it? Was the gen90 more than up to the job out of interest?

 

[Tim.]

Further to Sonny's questions, was it more of the tweak to the existing map you thought it might be, or did it require a full map starting from scratch?

 

[TimR26]

It would just be a tweak to fine tune it, bet it only took an hour or two like mine will take next week.

I've got a gen90 sonny, and trust me, they're more than up to the job. Very capable ecu.

 

[sonny172cup]

Oh iv had one on my car for 2 years and had no probs at all... Just wondered if it was up to the job on a S/C car thats all.

 

[Cub.]

@sonny172cup and @Tim. yep, the Gen90 was more than upto it. Paul at RS Tuning mapped it and was excellent. It did only need tweaking, but it needed the idle sorting etc.

I've just taken my brother in law for a run in it, and I'm over the moon with it. Largely because his comment was it feels like it came out of the factory supercharged. No drama with power delivery, no funky idle, controllable throttle. Just smooth power delivery and rapid pick up of pace.

That is exactly what I was aiming for, as I want a usable, get in the car and it fires first time, reasonably fast track car.

 

[Tim.]

The thing I like most about this car is that so many forum people have been involved along the way, it really feels like a weapon of the people. Great credit to you for having the vision (and funds) to get it to where it is today.

I completely agree bud. Many, many people have helped with it, and it is a credit to the forum that people on here will do that for others.

 

[debussetti]

I need it.

Failing that, I need to be a passenger in it.

 

[M.C..]

Good results
If the queue is not too big I wouldn't mind a passenger lap at Bedford in Feb
