Get one that is a different colour to what you have in there at the moment. That way you know when it has all been blead through as it changes colour.

Got my new car tuned
Got my new 997 turbo, and just got it back from being tuned up. Its mighty fast 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds according to the tuning shop :clap:. Running over 600BHP although not yet been on the dyno to see the finnished figure. I can honestly say I have never driven anything like it, it goes so fast the digital speedo scrambles as it cant keep up. The boost now runs right off the end of the 1.25Bar gauge :drool: Its gonna take a bit of getting used to, its so rapid yet you can lay all the power down with it so its still a really good drive. Im also still getting 18MPG so happy days. My Zed is almost done as well, it should be more of an Animal than this, it will not handle the power so well. Heard it today when I popped in the Garage, it sounds absolutely lovely like a dragster or racing car. Guy said it should be around the 750s BHP wise when its all finnished and run it. Goodness knows what it is going to be like to drive :helpsmilie: might be ready for me to collect on Thursday so I will keep you posted.

Upgraded Chip or stand alone management system
AEM is good but you will need it mapped properly, faliure to do it correctly could destroy the car!!!

Yeah you need that I believe, I certainly had to put one in on mine. Basically you remove the MAF sensor. Put two air filters directly on the pipes that would normally go into the MAF removing the stock unit. Then fit the sensor into one of the hard pipes going into the car air intake. To get a good air tight fit on the sensor we drilled a hole in the hard pipe after we had flattened the spot out a bit with a round hammer. Then used some shpaed washers and some gasket sealent and tightened it all up. Make sure that you put it in close to one end of the hard pipe so you can get your hands in there to tighten it up. You can see a picture of where mine is here http://www.project300tt.com/2010/05/24/all-together-now/

Update from the garage
Im starting to get excited, my zed is all mapped and running 100% fine. They have done the initial set up sorted a few minor issues out and she is puring like a baby now!. :closedeyes: Going on the rolling road tommorow then they will make sure everything else is ok and modify the exhaust and do a few other bits I asked them to. Fingers crossed she might be on the road by next week some time. :ohmy: After all this time doing it and now im getting so close to drive her. How exciting!!! show time...

My parts for sale.
Jaffa you have some nice stuff but most people on here dont have big kind of money to buy it. A lot of members run their cars on shoe strings and just cant afford the money. Personally I do think you might want to re think or at least research current prices as I know a few bits of yours I was thinking about were about the same as buying them new. I now know a lot of my stuff is less expensive than when I bought it less than ten months ago.

My New car
I think you maybe right to a degree Stellaz, I had a challanged upbringing on what can only be described as a reservation rather than an estate. Mainly because it was full of people that were animals, they stole, burnt, beat, and destroyed anything of value. One year for Christmas my Big Brother got his first job and bought me two posters. The first was of a lovely tanned women in Hawaii with flowing dark eyes and flowers around her neck. The other was of one of those 80s Blonds with the curly top gun stylee hair, wearing big round reflective sunglasses draped over a red 911. Every morning I woke up and looked at her and the car for a good few minutes dreaming and promising myself that one day I would own one. I have to say that I have done some really special things in my life, and been fortunate enough to start a great company on £100 that went places. There have only ever been two days in my adult life when I actually cried. The first one was when I got married, and the second one was when I bought my first Porsche. When the guy handed me the keys and we left, I sat behind the wheel and after five minutes of feeling that it could not be true, I honestly sat there with my wife and cried. I could not believe that all my childhood dreams from longing day after day for a better life had come true and it was the most important goal in my life I ever had. Yeah they might be common now but im just a common kid come good so maybe we suit each other lol I did Cry when I had my 360F1 but only because the fecking thing kept trying to catch fire, or over power me with the smell of petrol fumes in the cockpit. One day when the fecking thing did its usual spin sideways at a roundabout thing I got out and kicked the shit out of it. I am shuddering now thinking about that blinkin piece of Italian crap. Honestly some things in life are just a con and im afraid Ferrari is the biggest let down I have had. Everyone told me they suck and I thought I knew better only to find out the hard way. I would not swop my zed for another piece of Italian crap if you paid me.

Very quick video of the car on Dyno

My New car
Mrs told me I should have a weekend car as well as the Zed, so I did think about having both for a minute but thought its a waste of money. I just need a decent daily driver and the zed TBH. There are quite a few Porsches on the road these days but 911 Turbo is the top of the range and is still the one to have. I must say though Audis are still a lot lot more common and jo bloggs just thinks the R8 is just another Audi.

My New car
Audi is only 420bhp as standard so you would need to tune it an awful lot to get into the 600s. I can get this over 600BHP for just 7K

Sunbathing cat

Does my bum look fat in this???
I like it

My New car
I did really like the R8 to drive but it was so slow, im not sure I could have lived with the loss of performance. But im sure it would have been a real nice and reliable daily driver to own.
