Re: Valandis Build
Can't remember if that's the actual seller that I got mine off by the way as it was a couple of years ago, and I presume that's for a set not individual, I paid about that for a set.

Re: Valandis Build
Never revealed the total cost. I rekon 30g's..... at least!
rofl, f**k that.... waste of coin imo.
Could have spent a fraction of that on a turbo conversion and gotten much better gains. Or even put that money towards an evo conversion....
each to their own.
srsly though 30kw increase for that amount of coin...that's just f**king crazy haha

The owner of the car did what he wanted to do and is happy with the results, and in the end of the day we can look up to him as a pioneer...mosti wrote:Never revealed the total cost. I rekon 30g's..... at least!

Yes, for less money he could have got some old rotary and made it run 10s but that is not what he wanted

I refuse to argue with people online.
Exactly, I could not be happier with my car. It's exactly what I wanted. I didn't want turbo. I love NA power.spetz wrote: The owner of the car did what he wanted to do and is happy with the results, and in the end of the day we can look up to him as a pioneer...

Re: Valandis Build

They will look awesome on your car with the bonnet and lip.

Re: Valandis Build
I did say "IN MY OWN OPINION"...
and I also said "EACH TO THEIR OWN"
I'm glad you're happy with it....because that sort of money spent on this car and those gains is quite a bold move.
IN MY OPINION...it's too much to spend on what has been achieved.

Re: Valandis Build
In my opinion, 30kw is pretty good, and its not just about the power i guess...
Its having better(more durable, reliable?) parts in the engine, customizability, eye candy to the owner externally(and internally? including engine bay), and overall driving pleasure.
So that much money(or guessed amount of money) might not be too bad

I started with 76kw and now i'm on 116kw and it might be more as i've tweaked a couple of things.
Been meaning to go for a quick tune up!
40kw increase. Over 50% increase without touching forced induction.
The torque is phenomenal, the sound is mind blowing, the handling is insane and i've got nearly bald falkens...
Plus this is still tip, I am more than happy with the outcome.

Re: Valandis Build
Yes you said in your opinion however the way you phrased your opinion was still rude especially considering how much time effort and money the owner put into this build. There were better ways of saying it with the same meaning but a better response from other members. Also keep in mind that this is a car which has been untouched by the aftermarket and it is nice to see that at least some people are doing their best.mosti wrote:I did say "IN MY OWN OPINION"...

Valandis, can you take a video of your instrument cluster during acceleration?

Take a pic of your car at a similar angle to dwaynes demo shots then super-impose. Best way to tell I suppose.
And to those that have commented before and will in the future, who cares how much he spent on the car, I spent 10s of thousands on my wagon I now don't drive and isn't finished, but I did it cause I wanted to.
Let people be.
He's happy, your opinion is only valid to yourself, so keep it to... yourself.

I know, now it needs another clean
For your viewing pleasure here is a video of me going through a Targa Stage down here.
It's not the full stage (only the first bit... the rest is much better) and Im still learning it so not going 100% plus this was before my alignment so handling wasn't as good.
I had the tripod set up on the passenger seat but it kept on falling over in the hard cornering!
So don't expect anything amazing..... Yet

Sounds pretty nice and seems to pull strong.

I'm telling you to f**k off... check your meds dude, you've been in heat for a bit lately.
Harsh criticism and disrespect isn't an opinion, it's simply rude and unnecessary. Be constructive.
Back to topic, nice vid Val. Pity in a way the FTOs don't have the head rest mounts for the camera brackets.
