What have you done to your car today?

He signed off as Dave, so I'm guessing not?
Pete?
George is the guy who did the dip (I think). Talented guy, gifted at window tinting too (he's done 3 cars for me).

Ohhhh, sorry I thought you were the guy who did the dip, and you were checking to see if DXP55 was your neigbour.

Not that I did it, but I had someone change all the speakers, add a decent amp and sub...
I did stall the car for the first time, coming home, as I couldn't hear the engine struggle

I want to plastidip my car if not purely for the satisfaction of peeling it all off. Be honest, how much fun was it?
On bits I could peel it was fun.
But the rest was a hateful job

Looks much nicer, even with the little scratch.

red looks miles better, good job

Installed a new boost gauge, supposedly amber but actually just red.. still looks good though
Replaced the start button on the 370Z with the red one from a GTR. Arrived marked though
looks much better

I raced against a 400hp Fiat Coupe at a charity trackday and that thing was a rocket. It easily kept pace with my 500hp Audi on the straights, it may have pulled away slightly too, awesome car!

thought they was FWD? Kept up with your RS4?

It's around 300 at the moment. 297 on dyno after mapping a couple of years ago, but changed downpipe and intercooler since then. Aiming to get a new exhaust done sometime this year and change fpr to a 3.8 bar one, then get it mapped again and hopefully ~350bhp.
They're ok for 1/4 mile I think, always going to be handicapped by being fwd but they do get the power down pretty well. I have a Racelogic traction control system on mine (which also features launch control) which does help. Stock diff doesn't like standing starts with big power though (4-500), everything else seems to cope though.
Never had mine on drag strip, but did some testing with a Racelogic vbox a few years ago, got 5.5s to 60, and 11.9 to 100
Rybo, they are fwd yes, but the one he was up against was a lot more powerful then standard
In fact that car did (for Tauren) a 12.38 1/4 at 115mph, with 457bhp although an estimated 50-75kg weight taken out too. So a lot slower then 4wd would be, but still pretty quick. Rolling performance in them is very good as IanH can attest to!

But, but physics?

A launch for you there Rybo
Launch control needed some tweaking, was dropping revs too much. Worked ok if I timed the launch right though.
