Tony C Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 You certainly might have done. I met a whole lot of very expensive looking sportscars coming the other way - plus one 7 😬 BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

Tony C Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sound test video added - I'd better not post the speed achieved during the first all-out accel, but 0 - X took 14 seconds BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

Beelzebub Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Tony. The sound quality on your vid is light years ahead of anything I've achieved with the little mike supplied with the RF concepts bullet cam. Could you enlighten me please 🤔 Thanks Dave.

Tony C Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 After lots of fruitless experimentation with the supplied mic I gave up with it and bought one of these from Maplin and because my video camera audio input wasn't totally correct, I then added one of these. I also have a mocrophone like this, but there's no significant difference than the results from the first one from Maplin. I have the mic velcro'd to the crossmember between the dash and the pax footwell, on the higher setting. Because your video camera may be different, you may need to experiment 😬 BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

Unclefester Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Tony, what sort of bhp does it make? SeaView!!!! 😬 😬here *eek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 The rolling road plot from Emerald shows 147 bhp / 6129 and 137 lb ft / 5046. I was disapointed and Oily was surprised - we were expecting more bhp (and I never could figure-out why Dave Walker kept spraying aerosol grease on the back tyres to stop wheel-spin. "Hey Dave, do you know this is grease?" He is the expert and assured me it was the right stuff) However, as I have no idea of the actual standard output, I was more than satisfied by the perceived improvement and considered the modifications to be good value for money. I think the gain in peak torque and its flatness from 2750rpm is the reason for the much better throttle response, acceleration and smoothness. The lightened flywheel and the 4-2-1 exhaust, as well as the ECU and TB's, all play their part - I definately wouldn't want to go back to the standard set-up 😬 The reason I advertised the whole set-up for sale so early is to give prospective purchasers the chance to try it out - once it's out of the car to make-way for the Duratec - it'll be like buying a puss in a bag 😬 BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.

Tony C Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Not yet removed from car and still available. For the reduced price of £2500 complete this is essentially a free engine with the bolt-on goodies at 60% of their cost price BRG Brooklands SV 😬 It seems that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
