can anyone get in touch with them and show our interest in buying them?
they need 24 buyer's,we could help them reach that or take the amount higher :rolleyes5 ...

[paulmc]

Ian,

I have pm'd Weeble asking if I can buy being an x member and now member of a closely related site :-D , if he agrees I will see if we all can join in or maybe I can order a few, not sure as I don't know him that well. I will let you know what he says

Paul

[paulmc]

[paulmc]

Calum,

did you get my Pm.

Looking at this thread again I think I may have miss read it. I thought you were going to ask weebl as well, to see if your m8 can get more. On reading it again you are maybe waiting on me to give an answer :help: :dozey: :rolleyes5

can your m8 get any more.

Only reason I said PM me was. He said because I used to be a member he would give me a FEW as long as I did not take the p1ss, he also said keep it quite as he did not want everyone know we were getting some.

not sure if 8 is a few is it?

do you want me to see if I can get 8?

Paul

[calum]

Sorry - haven't checked the site for a while.

I didn't intend asking Weebl - I was leaving that up to you - I was just trying to keep th thread tidy by starting a list - as mentioned earlier, I'm already down for one.

I've PM'd my mate - I'll let you know.

Paulmc,

I think the MLR are ordering theirs tomorrow. I have spoken to my mate who said he forwarded my request to Weebl, and that you've been in touch with Weebl and it's ok for teh vr4 guys to get these.

Just one question - what's the plan for payment/ despatch?

If you need a hand or need me to cover teh payment upfront then let me know.

Cheers,

Calum

[paulmc]

I have sent everyone interested a pm re payment, (Weebl asked me to keep it quiet) they have ordered and paid by paypal, in the comments bit at the bottom they have put their names and addresses for posting. Weebl will send them out as soon as they arrive. Some have not replied to my pm so not sure if they have ordered or not.

Must say Weebl has been very helpful as have you.

thanks

Paul

[calum]

some people may not see this in time, so if there's anybody who's payment needs covered give me a shout - I feel kind of responsible for starting this!

Cheers,

Calum

[adam_shaw]

I hope I got there in time - just got to the office today.....

Oh well, fingers crossed....

A

[wirdy]

Got mine today- just looking at it now.....should I go out & play tonight???

Well worth the money. :-)))))

[slider]

can anymore be ordered as I was not on here then and I am interested in one please

[wirdy]

can anymore be ordered as I was not on here then and I am interested in one please

I think it was a one-off group buy. There must be some MLR members who missed it too though- a tactful e-mail or PM to the group buy person may suffice.

[Nick Mann]

can anymore be ordered as I was not on here then and I am interested in one please

I think it was only open to full members of CVR4 or the MLR. Registered users of the MLR could get on board, but for £5 more.

Good spot Nick.

Oops, apologies Slider, perhaps I gave premature advice.....(there are some benefits in joining that aren't immediately apparent).

[Roadrunner]

Mine arrived today too :)

[wirdy]

If you don't get on with it-people are bidding on eBay for these at £45.
Looks like we got a good deal.

[Big Ian]

has anyone had time to play yet?
hope mine's arrives soon :rolleyes4

[Nick Mann]

Mine arrived yesterday. But I may not get a chance to play with it for 2 weeks!!

:bigcry:

[adam_shaw]

Got mine today as well.

Nick, why can't you go out to play? Nothing unpleasant I hope?

A

[Nick Mann]

Nope. (Although don't speak too soon - the MOT is being done at the moment!)

Just far too much other stuff to do. On a stag weekend this weekend, then the wedding next weekend. Both on the Isle of Man, so much travelling involved. If I can find time to play I will!!

[pezza]

Hmm got mine yesterday

I have the manual with me now but almost crashed the car pressing buttons whilst driving this morning..

I may try a leisurely quarter mile up the high street lunchtime!

:beatnik2:

[Big Ian]

:2thumbsup GOT IT
picked it up from the post office after work
now all i have to do is work it out,then do a few run's with the cat-con still on then once ive fitted my BDA De-cat i'll go again and see what happen's

just got to go buy 4 set's of scale's so i can weigh my motor!
:thinking2

[pezza]

I know this is not strictly ON topic butttt...

Had 2 runs yesterday with the following conditions :

4 18x7.5 rims with 225/40 in the boot(for sale to fit V6 if anyone interested :) )
1 spare legnum wheel..
3/4 tank of (NOW dont shout at me..) Esso 95 RON fuel (It was a desperate
situation)
wet road
23 stones of adults
auto mode
11:36pm

How fast do you think 0 - 60 was on average to the nearest 10th...

[Big Ian]

well ive done 2 set's of 5 run's @ 0-60 and my average was 9.7 sec's in the wet...
so Pezza,i'll say you would have been in the high 7 sec's?
:huh: gonna try my BHP later

[paulmc]

7.6 :2thumbsup

[Nick Mann]

6.9

How long do we guess for before you tell us?

[pezza]

6.9

How long do we guess for before you tell us?

Well averaged 7.9.... so will empty boot, try with optimax / ecu reset and then try with the BDA decat!!!

Its a nifty lil unit.. may try the HP and G test later... The Legnum is approximately 1750 kgs?

Cheers

D

[Big Ian]

i'll wait till the road's dry-out before i try again,i got an 8.6sec 0-60 just before the rain came back on (BDA,De-Cat will be on for my next trial :) )

[wirdy]

VR4 saloon Kerb weight=1520kg (3351 lbs)
VR4 Estate Kerb weight=1570kg (3461 lbs)

VR4 Saloon gross weight=2110kg (4652 lbs)
VR4 Estate gross weight=2160kg (4762 lbs)

Any ideas what the exact differences between gross & kerb weight are?
4 people? / 5 people?/full tank of gas?

I know from the bike world that manufacturers often quote weights without ANY fluids - just to keep the bidding wars going between rivals. Is this the same with cars & kerb weights?

I'm kinda assuming that for measuring HP I'll need to put in legnum kerb weight+driver+fuel. About 3650 lbs?

[SGHOM]

only a guesstimation, but I think Nick, [ driving ] BDA & Fabian recorded a sub 5 sec sprint in mine ! :rolleyes4 /lol /lol

Oh, the joy of NOS !!!

[Kieran]

I'm kinda assuming that for measuring HP I'll need to put in legnum kerb weight+driver+fuel. About 3650 lbs?

That formula is the same one that's in the instruction manual for my Apexi Rev/Speed meter, So I'd guess so.

Christ, that's about the same as the standard acceleration figures for the V6-24 (8.2 secs)!!

IT AINT YOUR USUAL GLS!!! :beatnik2:

[Big Ian]

what can i say, but you have witnessed it with your own eyes K.

[Slimshady]

Yah for that price I will defiantly take one (possibly 2 if brother-in-law wants one for the Carlton) defiantly count me in – just tell me where to send payment (pay pal / wire) and I will send delivery address.

Slim

[Slimshady]

Bugger, just realised the thread is 3 pages long & most of you already have the unit installed.

If this promotion is still about please let me know

If not BUGGER!!!!!! (missed out big time) :( :sad3: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

Oh Derek!! If you used that lovely little AP22 unit that you have then you'd know for sure!!

[bernmc]

If this promotion is still about please let me know

Offer only lasted a couple of days, slim, so it's long gone.

If you're anywhere in the neighbourhood, you're welcome to borrow mine for a day or two (and that goes for the rest of the club too.)

[Roadrunner]

Did one run this morning on my private test track - this one (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/vbgarage.php?do=popup&image=http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/vbgarage.php?do=getimage&id=289) :smoking: - and did a 6.01s 0-60, and 14.64s/98.64 for the ¼ including lifting off momentarily to avoid a stoopid pheasant. Very pleased with that, but obviously need to do more and average them as it says in the book to authenticate the times.

Nice wee device ... /yes

[pezza]

Ian.. your car is just plain mental LOL

H.7 Thats a top figure... and quite a bit quicker than my 7.1 late last nite!!!!!

Was that tip or auto mode?

:rolleyes4

Time to take wheels out and fill up with optimax LOL /yes

[Roadrunner]

Full auto mode, full tank of Optimax, standing start from tickover revs (around 700rpm). But also peaking at 0.95bar with a decatted exhaust and a Powerflow back box :)

[The Vee]

Got mine yesterday, Thank You - after mail "lost it" for a couple of days!! Will try it soon. Looks like people are getting good results. :2thumbsup :2thumbsup Nice bit of kit then

[Big Ian]

Ian.. your car is just plain mental LOL
:2thumbsup Derek,it's not the car........ :inquisiti...it's the driver!!

had another shot at the 0-60 again earlier,got 8.8 sec's this time.wish the road's would dry out,then i'll have a go at 1/4 mile time and BHP?

which one is the weight of the car,i have 4 different weight's on a vin (type) plate on the bulk head?

[Roadrunner]

Don't know without seeing it, Ian (my car doesn't have the weights displayed anywhere). What's actually printed on the VIN-type plate?

[Roadrunner]

H.7 Thats a top figure... and quite a bit quicker than my 7.1 late last nite!!!!!
And it just gets better:

0-60 in 5.74s, standing ¼ in 14.25s @ 102.3 :) 60-0 showed 147 feet. I don't know how accurate that is 'cos I braked from around 80 ...

[Kieran]

Bloody forum's not showing post again!! GRRR!!!!

[Kieran]

And again! Twice now to make it show!!

[Roadrunner]

Patience, K, patience ... it just takes time. Nothing works quickly on a Sunday :zzz:

[wirdy]

Well Happy.......

two runs today on the airfield ring-road.

1. 0-60 5.5 secs
2. 0-60 5.4 secs

Just me in the car, full tank of LRP (garage had no SUL yesterday!), and three ammo tins full of explosives in the boot. 3000rpm start, max boost was 0.95bar.

(non-nitrous) Manuals rule!!

[Kieran]

Did you get chance to measure your standing 1/4 mile time Wirdy?

[wirdy]

Did you get chance to measure your standing 1/4 mile time Wirdy?

Hello Nige..

Sorry to hear about the ding in your car... my drivers side rear cluster was smashed on my V6 or else you could have had mine :-(

Those are very impressive figures!! Is there something else that you and H.7. are keeping quiet? :rolleyes4

An interestin note there about using LRP.. does this mean that refilling on SUL and resetting ECU you could possibly go faster? :dizzy2:

[wirdy]

Those are very impressive figures!! Is there something else that you and H.7. are keeping quiet? :rolleyes4

Nope, just the normal exhaust, air filter, boost controller mods like most people. Was lovely and cool today though and my fan was blowing in lots of nice cold air to the filter.


An interestin note there about using LRP.. does this mean that refilling on SUL and resetting ECU you could possibly go faster? :dizzy2:
AFAIK LRP is about the same oct as SUL, so probably not.
LRP is only used VERY occasionally, if I can't get SUL, over time it could deposit sodium (or whatever additive is used instead of lead) on your valves. It certainly goes well on it though!!

Funnily enough, the lady at the filling station commented that did I know I'd just filled up with LRP, since normally that pump is just used for people with jerry cans for their mowers!! :)

[pezza]

Any new times today then? :beatnik2:

Maybe this is really new thread time :)

Still done 5.1 with no nitrous........Autos rule!

[Legnum Boy]

Still done 5.1 with no nitrous........Autos rule!
I concur.... I have had 5.45 to 100kph and i'm 20 horses down on you two. Autos still butcher the way... /yes

[Kenneth]

Still done 5.1 with no nitrous........Autos rule!

wirdy mate, cant have that... You may need to do a 2nd gear launch!

Apparently the trick is to take her up to 4500 or 5000 (2nd gear) then let the clutch enough so it grabs but still slips enough not to bog. you then should be able to fully engage pretty fast as not to compleatly ruin your clutch. this is apparently the skill bit, as the better you are the less clutch wear you will get.

Theory is that so long as something slips (clutch or tyres) you dont ruin your drive train.

I'd be tempted to do this myself if I had the gear to get 0-60 times.

EDIT: I dont actually advise you do it wirdy... I dont mean this post to be taken seriously as egging you on to do a 2nd gear launch. have fun with your G-Tech! :2thumbsup

[valmes]

Still done 5.1 with no nitrous........Autos rule!

For now, only your auto is better than manuals... but that should change! :)

There is no need for Skill, :) as much as with manual, to get good, consistent and fast launches on auto box...

I am getting "launch control/flat shift" that will put autos where they belong! :) Full boost start from pre-set RPMs, shifting on WOT (means nothing is vented and you stay on boost) should make a difference. Does on 3S cars and EVOs!

Seriously, I think in terms of performance on VR-4 - autos and manuals are very close... so its up to the driver and amount of mods to decide who is better, not what kind of transmition you have!
