I'm having to claim back as many brownie points as I can with the gf at the moment. She was away for 2 weeks then I was working on the car for 4 days so today is the first day I'm seeing her properly, don't think she appreciates cars like I do! She does like the carpets though...

How about you bring her to blue water shopping and the meet might just happen to be there at the same time? = you win brownie points and get to show off the car :D:D

As you can see the ride is stupidly low at the moment and it's hacking me off! I really need to sort it out but I hardly have the time to at the moment!
The leak is thankfully gone now (I hope) and as such will be ready to go as soon as I can raise the car a bit and soften the dampers a few clicks, I've done them 10 front and 16 rear which is mental, going to take them to about 7 front 14 rear I think.
#170: Re: Seb's VX Project *In Progress* Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 11:53 am ---- Very low at the moment, but the front looks excellent with the 'new' front lights! Well pleased for you mate.
#171: Re: Seb's VX Project *In Progress* Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 4:06 pm ---- Raised it to the right level now and have the damping toned down a bit, was making me nauseous driving the damn thing
With 425/475 spring rates (bear in mind most aftermarket 206 springs are about 250-300 afaik), and VERY harsh damping it was incredibly stiff and I could feel every little undulation in the road. Not nice!!
#173: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 4:23 am ---- Any update on the beast Seb? Had it mapped yet? Video?! I assume by your comments above that the carpet you put in wasn't standard (didn't come with the car?)
#174: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 4:30 am ---- No carpets (apart from the footmats) come with the car no!
It's not mapped properly as they can't fit me in for another 4 weeks or so, very busy up there, but I'm looking into alternatives slightly more local...
I've taken it on a couple runs, so I'll try and post a video up when I can!
It's got a few issues, I think my EGR cheater might be wired in wrong (stuttery on cold starts) so I'm off to a friends on sunday for him to take a look. Also going to clean up the coils in the coil pack and fit a new post cat lambda as the old one had welded threads into the old zorst.
Just taking it very easy on the throttle at the minute. Evidently the date is completely wrong
#176: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:44 pm ---- Good value for £7!
May just be because I have my washing machine on at the moment, but can't hear your exhaust. Just that beautiful whine of your supercharger! Dead chuffed for you mate. Next video should be a walk around the car whilst its at idle, then take it out on full throttle!
#177: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 3:54 pm ---- You can definately hear the zorst in the flesh! It just doesn't pick it up that well!
#179: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: jimmyfloydreturns, Location: SittingbournePosted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:33 am ---- Sounds good! Does it feel much quicker?

Hugely, even on the base map I (wrongly) timed a 0-60 at about 4.3s. When mapped and when I can boot it without worrying of blowing pistons, should be anywhere between 3.9s and 4.1s hopefully.
It's definately a lot nicer to drive when not hammering it as well though, everyday driving pleasure has improved because to get the same acceleration as before in higher gears I'm only just past half throttle.
It's gone from 145 to 260bhp, so an increase of 80% pretty much... that's a fair amount for any car.
