Re: suicyde engine
Engine looks great, now all you need to do is change those rear lights

Re: suicyde engine
Went to check up on the bug this morning... tuning is still ongoing and I should be able to pick it up tomorrow morning.
I took her for a drive and had so much fun.... wow, different car altogether.
At that stage she was sitting with 126kW at 5320rpm and 241Nm at 4450rpm, with over 200Nm from 2800rpm all the way to 5500rpm.
A slight dip in power and torque at 3200 which is getting worked on.
more news tomorrow....

Re: suicyde engine
got the car back today.... easy to drive but slightly dissapointed by the lack in revs. I was hoping to hit at least 6500, but changes are happening around 5800 or so. If I push it, I can hit 100 in second. Maybe a cam change is in order sometime in the next few years.
I have some videos, but youtube is giving me grief and wont upload them.
0-100 is definitely in the sub 6 second range (under 6), with the video of me hitting 100 in 2nd hinting at it possibly being 4.xx seconds - I'll need to double check that one again sometime, but for now lets just say its under 6 seconds.

Re: suicyde engine
Anything under 6's to 100km/h is VERY quick. Scaring some entry level (if there is such a thing) supercars there!
