[Mr Singh]

I haven't made it to a UK Meet yet! i think it June i am booked up for IASCA events, the car is entering in SQ competitions.

[Kavey]

I shouldn't read posts like this. It'll get me all flustered and stuff especially after I abandoned getting the s/c a while back.

Bit of an update...

Well cars been at JPS Motorsport for last week or so. They fitted the TRD Clutch and Flywheel.

They also done some minor setup tweeks and adjustments.

OMG! what a difference. Torque steer or what!! its an ANIMAL. Its So LOUD the torque is just awesome.. i couldn't help but laugh when i parked it on the driveway and went in, its totally transformed!

Will be getting BOV fitted in few weeks and i think the brakes will need an major major upgrade, even with brembos and braided lines!

Totally chuffed... its cost me a fourtune!

[DAZA_W]

sounds real nice

will have to get to a meet and see the diff

Sounds great mate, she must fishtail like a good un in the wet, mine's bad enough and you've got loads more power :)

Just a quick one about the torque steer - I thought that was a problem on just FWD cars?

Do RWD cars do this as well then with enough power from the back or is it the fishtailing that's the problem?

Have to admit I had a lot more fun than usual the last couple of days what with the good weather!!!

Really looking forward to seeing this and the TC'd IS's and hopefully Fargo's SC'd IS300 :)

The UK is finaly catching up in the power stakes :)

Yeh back end seriously fishtails, in even on days like today its after more grip... Marshall tyres don't help

The noise is just silly... rev the engine with the bonnet open, u have to cover your ears, or you get that dizzy feeling like when your next to speakers in a club!!

Fargos will be quick.. but he's got Auto so he sux :P :P :P

Scott... get me the ASP logo made :winky: :winky:

[Monster-Mat]

Aido you are correct, Torque steer is a Front Wheel Drive trait

it is a result of the engine and gearbox sitting transvers across the car resulting in un-equal length Drive shafts, as the power will always try to take the path of least resistance(shorter drivshaft) the car will pull to the side with the shorter shaft.

Rear wheel drive cars have almost equal shafts(only a few mm difference) so the torque steer trait cannot happen

[Mr Singh]

Thanks for the correction Mat.

[TheDon]

wow looking good, that charger set up is realy clean!! loving it.

Sounds like you loving it! im interested in the blow off valve your having fitted, does yours not re-circulate the air like the TTE charger does?

[Mr Singh]

Thanks mate, not 100% sure if it re-ciculates the air, but when JPS had the car they said it would make difference.

Probably go for a Blitz one i think, might get it done in next 2 weeks

[Colin P]

can't wait to see your car either! this years meets are going to be good (providing people turn up!)

how's the ICE coming along?

[Mr Singh]

Working on the ICE everyday now, but i keep wanting to add things!!

Door builds are my next step.... 4" deep mids :o

[TheDon]

are you taking this to hot import nights?

and are you also going to USC (ultimate street car?)

[Mr Singh]

Depends when those are...

My wheels arrive this week i hope... waited nearly 3 months for them :o

But tyres are soooooo exspensive :(

[marcus]

Looking good mate :winky:

I recall you going for some forged American wheels, 5 spokes?

What sizes offsets and tyres (sizes) are you going for?

Do you envisage any mods to the arches or lining?

[Mr Singh]

Yep iForged Aeros.

8x19 fr -45mm offset

9.5x19 rr - 55mm offset

As far as i know there will be no mods required... but then again i will slam it as far as it goes... if the archs get in the way, then out with the angle grinder!

from looking at the pic Mr Sing posted when he got the kit, it doesnt look there is an external bypass valve there (unless it was in the airfilter box) but it is perfectly possible for the supercharger to have an internal bypass valve.

not negative offsets right?

Thats pretty hardcore, I take it you're going for the pimp daddy look as opposed to track fighter :winky:

Can't wait to see the pimped out drug mobile fo sho!

[Mr Singh]

yeh neg offset.

Yep, not keen on the track look, its a luxury/sport car, so i'm just putting some fine jewellery on it

Who knows, this might set the trend for others :winky:

Fluff... tbh i not sure, but afaik bov will help.

[OLI_EP3]

Am

You serious? -ve 45 and -ve 55 offset????

"Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
