#32: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 12:26 pm ---- Nice, one more step to see the first ITB powered GTi180 (this is starting to become a really long name xD ).
#33: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 1:35 pm ---- Haha it's going to be a very long winded experience!
I'm buying things step by step so I can pretend to myself it isn't costing as much as it really does!

#35: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 1:58 pm ---- I love it too!
#36: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:28 am ---- Some minor bad news... Nobody will sell a DBW capable ECU for anyone building that into a road car, as Motec are being sued by someone who crashed and claimed the throttle stayed open when he didn't want it to!
So back to the drawing board, and will probably be looking at the cable set up again...

Good luck with the project dude.. Last edited by Luke on Sun Feb 21, 2010 8:47 am; edited 1 time in total

#39: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:28 am ---- Just got off the phone to my supplier, my TB's will be here next week
Managed to wangle a cheeky bit of money off too, and I don't need some of the parts from the full kit so wasn't as expensive as I thought. Just need to hear back from Jenvey about my manifold now!

If were both finished for FCS hope too see you on the track
#41: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:29 pm ---- I won't be done for FCS mate, I'm hoping it will be ready for the 2011 season to be honest, get it all done next winter!
Still got more to buy! Cams, rods, maybe solid lifters if I can afford them...
#42: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:30 pm ---- ahh cool,
cart wait to see it finished anyway and maybe one day join you on the track
#43: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:36 pm ---- Bit of a dilemma at the moment, I can either opt for the standard air horns that come with the kit, ie already been ordered, aluminum jobbys in the picture below. However for £220 I have the option of getting the carbon ones
Bye bye bank balance...
#44: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:46 pm ---- carbon fibre!!! you know it makes sence! lol
if you've already got carbon under the bonnet then i's say the carbon ones. if not, maybe the aluminium one but give them a really good polish.
#45: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 12:50 pm ---- I might just stump up and kiss my next student loan goodbye.
Only thing is I have loads to pay for...
Nurburgring, Ecu, cams, brakes, probably more wheels...
Can I really justify £220 on CF trumpets?
