Nice car Yoofo,

My fave bits are the wheels and the paint, you do a great job of polishing it! More than I can ever be arsed to do

80bhp on top of a 75bhp engine though. That's just crazy talk!

ah should have put, engine is 90bhp and 93lbft without nitrous, that's 80bhp on top of that

Prime yoof mobile. Love it

A beaut! Top job yoofington

Karl.

You forgot to add the paint loving factor to your description

Did you get some spacers that worked for the front?

so have you actually used the 80bhp nos? can it handle it?

and does it feel like 170bhp's worth?

nice car by the way, lovin the wheels.

He changed the jet sizes just so that he could write in his spec list that it's got 80bhp worth of gas... Of course he's used it.

Can it handle it? Probably not long-term, would be okay I reckon with a progressive controller though.

Bhp ratings of nitrous jets are bollocks, a 50bhp jetting will give 15bhp on one car and 60bhp on another. Really depends on the setup. It's not as quick as a 170bhp G40 by any means, but with the old 50bhp shot (which RR'd at a 30bhp increase) it was as quick on the road as a stock G40.

absolutely mint!

absolutely mint!

thats just what i was about to say

I love the way this car looks. :)

what wheels are they? they look wider than 7's

cars looking mint, what nitrous sytem you buy? did you fit it or get someone to

I can assure you they are 7" rims.

More recent pics:

As above, the wizards of nos system, and I have compelted all the work on the cars myself.

Absolutely awesome dude i love all the work you put into the engine

Have you done a 0-60 scince doing all the work or had it rolling roaded?

Not had it rolling roaded or done any sprints yet, sitting on my drive with no suspension at the mo.

Last outing gave low 15s on the 1/4 (around 7sec 0-60) with new set-up minus the nitrous be nice to break stock g40 power figures.

nice work

deffo looks pimp, love that car, colour coded wheels look sick

Hope you don't mind yoof. Love this car, got a quality snap at Polo show.

Ah cheers chirs, excellent photo. Do you have any high res ones please? if so drop me a PM and i'll send you my e-mail addy, cheers

Car is awaiting some new front shocks and going to be raised a little, corrado interior, better speakers and possibly a sub.

Then the engine niggles will be fixed, and car will be mapped and then rolling roaded, hope to hit the roads june/july time.

Yoof

Please note, hammer on wall- very usefull.

Going for its MOT next week hopefully, then being pulled apart again and tinkered with- such is life

car is a credit to you. good work love it esp the rims :)

Cheers Mate
