Oh right.

very nice car anyway, my mate has one in that colour and it's bloody gorgeous!

 

[N0ddie]

Our little blue beast finally has some numbers.


207whp & 249.36ft/lbs










This is running:

• Revo Stage 2
• Mountune Intercooler
• Sitech Induction Kit
• 3" Scorpion Cat back (De-cat didn't arrive in time to get fitted so thats happening a week tomorrow)

Pretty chuffed with the results tbh. It equates to 241.something bhp @ the flywheel.

Was at Knockhill on Saturday in the FiST. First time she's been around the track since her power has been upped. A vid:

[video=youtube;JMxQvVlLuDk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMxQvVlLuDk[/video]

Fastest lap was 1:04:20 (3 seconds faster than my 200). Just shows its very much a power track when you consider I'm running standard road tyres and standard suspension. The 200's best time was on Clubsports and R888s.

The only thing that let the car down was the brakes. They were 90% worn (The front pads) when the car was serviced and inspected on Thursday. Pretty shocking when you consider they've been on the car for 6 months, 2 short trackways and a few thousand miles.

Just found this thread by accident and have read it all. Very interesting as I admire the ST, wouldn't mind one when some bargains appear on the second hand market.

I remember reading about a Graham Goode racing tuning kit has 240bhp? Anyone tried it, or are the mountune kits the one to go for unless your after mega power upgrades?

 

[mark_1873]

Nice little video mate, is that Harrys Lap Timer your using ?

You might have gone quicker than its told you, its a bit behind without some sort of booster.

Car sounds nice too, did you get the decat fitted in the end ?

There's loads of ST's with 240bhp with the Revo upgrades. A few fair few for sale too.

 

[FaithlessEmo]

I thought you had a break upgrade to mountune discs and callipers? They still not up to the job?

I did indeed. Didn't feel like it made any difference tbh.

I do have the Mountune brake kit. Wasn't their fault I had worn my pads to 90% before the trackday. The last 2 outing on track with them were fine. Had my discs glowing allegedly. So when I get new pads they'll be back to their best.

 

[N0ddie]

So yeah. Wasn't much left on the pads:






Went with the alternative option of the Pagid RS29 pads. A little more aggressive but we'll see how they go.

 

[Gez]

Had your money's worth out of them! Lol

[MENTION=393]N0ddie[/MENTION] how's the car looking now?

 

[N0ddie]

The car is looking brown lol. Needs a wash but then it always does at this time of year.

Not much has happened since the brake pad change. Got myself a COBB gear knob and rear motor mount. Simple cheap mods that made a significant difference imo. I have on order a Spec-R intercooler and hard pipe/hose kit with expected around mid-late January. My Mountune intercooler is looking very tatty (Loads of stone chips have made it 50% black 50% silver). Also, looking at the next performance boost (Stage 3 which is hybrid turbo route) I'd need to get hard pipes better boost hoses so it made sense to get the Spec-R ones designed to go with the Spec-R intercooler.

I'm also swithering on whether to pull the trigger on some coilovers that are on offer at the mo. Finding it very hard to resist lol.

 

[Gez]

This sounds like it's turning into a bit of an animal over the coming year! Stage 3 sounds good :cool:
