Yea of course  come and see me as im a bit shy to go and introduce myself to new people 

Driving it around now it feels soo much different, spool seems about the same but it just has so much pull now!
Before with both front tyres warm it would wheelspin in 2nd but not for too long (225 toyo r888s) now today with the tyres nice and sticky in the 16 degree heat it wheespins all through 2nd and most of the way through 3rd (thats not trying to provoke it spinning either)
The pull feels soo much stronger even with it mapped how it is!
Its really hard to explain.... but it sort of feels like standard.... but with shed loads more power and torque! no nasty spiky bits in the delivery and no massive slab of torque to work round!

Cant wait to feel it when its fully mapped 

Oh yea the Eibach ARBs are mega! there both adjustable too which is a bonus! i forgot to weigh them but they feel alot lighter than the usual upgraded ARBs, initial response to them is that the car corners allot flatter with them fitted! paired with the Club sports it feels so planted on my setup! Nice and oversteery when you want it to be, but if your driving on the limit its not going to turn round and bite you! very very impressed! 

anyway, i cant wait to get out to the nurburgring now! one week to go

What are you planning mod wise for after the hybrid is mapped and you have finished the ring trip,

[jabbalad]

How long is a pice of string.... haha

Immediate thing will be MWI, a diff and Uprated engine mounts!

then it will be a case of what products we want to develop and test on it, as it is my own personal car but its also the main development tool for Jabba....
I think my goal is to get the engine right (valves, pistons rods and so on!) then develop our own kit to go for some proper power 

I will be looking to do a few other bits too, like different seats and loosing some weight out of it but without making it a car that wont be nice to drive everyday! 

Will see what happens

[Janner_Sy]

well its near the end of the day, so the good news is.......

Suspense is a killer     

[owen lcr]

cant be long now , be good to see what this car is capable of

[RobH]

I bet its postponed again

Been trying some map revisions in Luke's today on the road...

Will get on the rollers before he sets of for the Ring..

ill be inconsolable if its not finished today.  i need dynp graphs and i need them now

Right, take this the right way guys, but I think everyone is waiting for these magic figures may be missing the point.. Also, try and give the guys at Jabba a little bit of a breathing space..

A hybrid K04 isn't going to make silly figures, but what it could well do is really improve on the OEM turbo's power and torque curve, translating into 'actual' real world performance, and not just pub talk peak dyno figures..

As we all know there is massive disparity between dyno's, Stage 2+ cars making 350hp to 400hp with no differences to spec.. So there is always going to be that argument too.. Something that no one can defend against unfortunately.. However..

I think Lee would agree that a much better test would be to look at 1/4 mile terminals, and as Lee recently ran at Santa Pod this will be a true measure of the cars performance.. 111mph with K04 and standard cooler then ???mph with hybrid and S3 cooler.. Thats what ill be looking at anyways

With 390-400hp 116+mph terminals would be easily attainable..

Wish you the best of luck!

I dont care about the dyno figures i just want to know what the bum dyno thinks i.e Luke. Also some logs on engine temps etc once the water meth goes on, and yeh some 1/4 mile improvment
