[Dave]

Darren O's car, he got it done and custom made over here, Peter Whim i think it was, haven't got his number to hand but PM Darren i'm sure he'll send you on the number.

[andy-b]

tnx dave, been cruzing this forum n reading up on some of the old stuff how you getting on with your car,Turbo,bodykit etc didnt think that rpw had these for sale yet? any way gotta try and track down darren o cheers m8 andy

[Dave]

well we're RPW's agents over here, and it's a GS we're throwing a turbo into, should have it fitted withing a week or two and no doubt everyone will hear about it then.
no other news on the car apart from that.

Darren maybe hard to track down as he doesn't come online that much, i can get his number if you want it.

[andy-b]

that was quick, well good luck with the turbo,an e-mail would be better if you have it, dont wonna ring him straight off cheers andy

[Dave]

yeah friday afternoon, not usually too productive

just found the number for the guy who fitted his kit for him, Peter Whim, 00353-1-8357983

[andy-b]

nice one m8, ill ave to give him a ring,so what the story about gr turbo's then ?

[Dave]

no worries, turbo GR's not in production as yet, we are still in talks with them to see if they are willing to put the time in to develop the kit as i know there are quiet a few of the UK boys interested in them, there is now a supercharger kit in the pipelines, but it'll be late march before we know more.

[andy-b]

ok m8 yeh thats what ive already heard over hear,looking more like ''nos'' going in then for me than turbo,but thats after ive sorted the a$se end, what sort of increase bhp wise r u hoping on the gs then?

[Dave]

hoping to be handing the GPX boys their a$$'s on a plate! looking at approx 50% increase in bhp and 80% in torque!

Hehehe! Maybe your torque figures but you'll be doing very well indeed if your BHP figures are better.

[Dave]

we'll see! i reckon 180bhp with equivalent torque with the reduced weight of a GS, we will see!

oi don't be hijacking threads!!! or you'll be moderated!

[Dave]

any joy on sourcing the rear bumper on this andy?

[andy-b]

hi dave not yet ive been in contact with a few company's over here and there not keen on doing it but ill get there in the end,i have just found out about a friend ova friend that's in fibre glass moulding's need to e-mail him today and see what he say's cos there's a chance making em in different syles and selling em

[Dave]

nice one, there's such a limited range of kits for the FTO, someone who know's what they're doing could easily do up a few custom kits and sell em!

[St3vo]

Hey.
Andy... Im looking for kits aswell. Im new to modifieing FTO's. Were did you get your front bumper from.... i take it that its a veilside mould??

Cheers
