[Mark19909]

so I finally found the love for the Rs again after 4 years of no use i am now in my 9th year of ownership.....so decided to spend some money on her I have booked the car into sabre for the stage 4 upgrade on there Black Friday deal 🤙 also awaiting a date from demon performance to have a full underside restoration done

can't wait for the new year 😛 then bodywork to follow

[DanT404]

Great plans! Be great to see photos of the progress etc.

[Westy]

Stage 4 should be fun... plus a resto! Will be quick and clean, perfect

[Nemo]

That really is showing it some love.

I can't imagine not using mine for that long I struggle to leave it for 4 weeks let alone 4 years. Good to hear you have got the love back for it and treating it to some very nice work.

[BartFRS]

That's true love, you will enjoy the car once all work been done.

[Mark19909]

I had a new Sachs clutch fitted today and it's the first time I've really driven the car in 2 years just love everything about these cars even the smell inside awesome cars

[Mark19909]

So I picked the car up from sabre today after 2 weeks of dropping of and to say the way it drives and performs on the way home even tho the ground was a bit wet is unbelievable pulls like a train so can't wait for the summer to see what is like 😛

it made 412 bhp and 392 torque at 24psi

[Poynter87]

I bet you are happy with those figures and it sounds like it goes well so now it's time use it a bit more and enjoy it.

[Mark19909]

Yes really happy with it low boost is enough but hi boost is just nuts lol it's going away now until the underside has all been done

[Nemo]

Nice power. What is the spec and is this a standard engine?

[Mark19909]

Yes standard engine witch I'm a bit ?? About......usual bolt on stuff + front mount inter cooler up rated fuel pump and injectors sabre 400rs turbo and mapped on a blitz boost controller

[Mark19909]

She did make 430bhp but they tuned it down as I was to much they said

[Nemo]

Yeah putting 24psi through a standard engine is really at its limits surely. Mines a very similar spec with a GT32 hybrid running 21/22 psi for a 397 power reading. I'm taking it for a power run at Page Motorsports soon. They have a dyno dynamic rolling road, I'll be interested to see what power it runs there.

[Mark19909]

Yes I was a bit sceptical about achieving this power I did think around 380-390 but they got what they did but will mostly be run on the lower boost.....until something serious pull next to me 🤣🤣

im after some new tyres to help with the power what do people recommend
