Hitting steering wheel after a turn increases acceleration by 50%
True
LPedro SF this is a legitimately funny comment 😂😂😂
Haha lol
The real-life equivalent of pressing the button harder on the Xbox controller.
That was really annoying!
Dynoing would’ve been interesting to see if it really works or it’s just placebo nonsense
I had an E46 gas, and I was told by a tuning shop that the chips won't help unless it has turbos
Actually no! All that matters is what happens on the tarmac and its clear if you saw the end... Most supercar owners nowadays only go by real life 30-130 times instead of some dyno numbers which can be manipulated with ease!!
It would of been better being dyno tuned mind...
trust me when I say chip tuning on a diesel is very noticeable, diesels get crazy amounts of torque from the simplest HP gains and that's what you feel very different
Bucky Barnes don’t go back to that shop. Straight up misinformation. Sure you won’t pick up as much horsepower as a turbo car but a tune for the most part is just about throwing more timing where it is safe to do so. It might not net you peak numbers necessarily but it’ll definitely help with area under the line
Bucky Barnes all cars have limiters from the factory to help with emissions so turbo or not your car will gain power with the limits being removed
This 'race chip' works to a degree but is no where near what you can get with a proper remap as they are just boost pressure sensor interceptors. They also have no control over the fueling so rely on the engines protection features to stop it running too lean - the result is EGT protection can kick in and it runs very rich to try and compensate for too lean under full boost....this means that on first few runs you get a load of power but the power can fade as EGT protection will keep kicking in. Long and short of it is power gained from these things is usually inconsistent. I also worry about these things burning valves over time (again from intermittently running too lean).
blower winning comment
yes but they cant sell proper remap in shop.........LOL
A diesel can not run to lean and won't get to high EGT from lean mixture.
However those piggyback boxes are utter crap anyway.
+Powerguru78 I was referring to petrol engines - of which this 'race chip' is available for. For the diesels it does seem to have some control over the fuel rail pressure sensor, but that's a poor way to control fueling. For petrol engines it has no control, their instructions also seem to indicate it doesn't even tap into the camshaft sensor for RPM measurement so on some petrol engines (if not all) it really is just a boost pressure sensor reading manipulator.
You are risking very much by going to a chiptunning company and letting people programm your ECU. You people can read what chiptunnig does to your car after a while. I went to BMW Krasta Auto building and asked what do they think about chiptunning and they said that most of the engine's parts will much sooner become unusable and then u'll have to go fix your car for a lot of money. And there is an artical, where a BMW enginner explains, what happens after you chip your car (really bad). Wouldn't even consider it.
So the entire 330d series was just a setup to sell a bolt-on from the Car Throttle shop?
Yes
Except weight reduction, they don't sell that one
@@Mr_Kurosaki But they can sell tools to do that
Maybe they will.Thought of neongasBallons yet?Now hold on a second.This was supposed to be a joke.But that could work right???
@@MrNickelbrille Helium has a lifting force of 1 gram per liter. So if you have a balloon that contains 5 liters of helium, the balloon can lift 5 grams. So no, hydrogen would be best but you know what hydrogen does when exposed to heat.
So when is the dyno hitting the car throttle shop so you can actually tune the car? 😂😂😂😂
Santeri Saari Because they can't sell a custom dynotune on their website and the whole point of this build is to showcase their shop and products they sell. Which is nothing wrong about it, just not what you might be expecting from this build.
Exactly, they can't promote and sell a custom map
Yes, they could. :D They send you an email with attached pdf-file of 63'297 pages of binary that you can upload trough obd2.
Boris Kalashnikov they do work... to a degree, nothing like a remap though obviously
Now that the chip is in, you should really, REALLY, remove the swirl flaps in the intake manifold (if it hasn't been done by a previous owner) before they come loose and go into the engine. It's a common and well-known weakness on multiple diesel engines from BMW (like the M57 in Gareth) and is the reason for multiple broken engines.
Also, please remove the EGR-valve and buy an aftermarket downpipe. The downpipe should realease a horse with power (maybe even two) 😎
Damn, this must be the longest comment I've ever written. I'm quite cool, obviously
Got those replaced with blanking plates on my '00 E38 730d, I've driven it over 50kkm since I bought it. It now has over 410kkm(255k miles) on the odometer.
You are! :)
It has been done, I checked a few days ago .... So relax !! They're not going to get snaffled by the engine
Theyre also on some Alfa JTD engines,as i just found out to my horror.
Yeah these bloody GM/Opel/Alfa 1,9 CDTIs eat them as well as the 4 and 6 cylinder BMWs...
Just found this series today and binged it all wondering when the next one was coming
This series is so much entertainment and so educational, I learned a lot about suspension and mechanics than how my Engineering school taught me (CS major !).
Thanks a lot !!!
this thing is more expensive than a custom tune with dyno sheet in my country
Even in uk its cheaper to get a proper dyno tune. This box is for people who have no clue. No petrol head will ever want a box.
@@a_maze_snaps Ah the usual "no real petrol head will ever like this thing I don't agree with for no factual reason" comment. 👍
Diesel tuning is one of the most satisfying things every just seeing torque figures shoot up. Like on the 1.9 TDI engines!
I had a 1.9 Ibiza cupra tdi, 210 bhp on remap. Rapid.
Just chipped my Golf 4 equipped with an AXR TDI engine,Can confirm! :D
I also have the AXR engine, an extra 60BHP just from a remap 🤙🏼
I got about the same,this plus a straight pipe,launch control and rev limiter=So much fun.
Love my E350 CDI - remapped to 306HP and 510 FT/LBS. Aventador Torque
Guys, 2 years past and THIS is still MY FAVORITE youtube series
Ethan’s face when a faster lap is done is priceless XD
You spend so much money on this car and dont buy a proper machine for measurement the exakt time ot the laps. This is totaly ridiculous.
Pro88teC seriously
Haha it’s so that they can fudge numbers a bit for products that really don’t do shit
Because you can't buy that in the CT shop.
It's not about getting there , it's about how to get there .
And you can't even spell. So...
The torque on these Diesels! 👌🏼👌🏼
ive got an e39 from 99 530d tunned map with 230hp and 550nm, daily ride
@@Speedgear turn the torque down and the power up.
Life isn´t a video game, power is the product of torque and the RPM you make. [ HP = ( Torque in nm x RPM ) / 5252 ], diesels generaly redline at around 5000 - 5500RPM and make peak torque at around 1500 - 2500 RPM, this is why even though they have more torque then petrol engines, they tend to make less power. This is also the reason why the huge freight trucks who redline at around 1500RPM seamingly make so little power while having huge torque numbers.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 The torque and the power are tied together.
@@WryJab bullshit i only got 335bhp outta my 330d 245bhp e92 with a few hardware mods no way u got that. Show us a graph from rolling road
Hi there, my name is Luke and I'm really proud of your time and work on Gareth. I want to say that i have been watching every single video that you make and I'm thankful for helping me get over my deppression
Perfect hype video for my autocross tomorrow morning!
I’m after some biceps like those on Gareth, but can’t find them on the car throttle shop??
@SDD525 racecars run on e85...
Check in the steroid section.....
You can save your money and buy them 2nd hand in a mortuary.
Get it mapped you mincer
MUCH better with a proper map
@@dHan82441 correct ! Marketing is at it's best here...
I was at this circuit yesterday! It's so much more engaging to see you drive it knowing how it feels.
Great series, enjoying watching!
USE PROPER TIMING SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it makes no sense doing it with iphone timer
Yep i love these vids but that part is a huge fail! Wouldnt be hard at all to get a vbox and measure the lap times! Im sure they have one but probably dont know the feature is on there(the gps maps any track you want to make)
MasterBolitz seriously
Or just use the date from the camera at the start?
If they do so, how they could increase time with this tuning?🤔
the times are fake anyway, it's like watching Top Gear guest laps.
Finally an episode I was waiting for. THX guys.
Another great episode, cant believe its over!!!
Really enjoying this series.
Yes mate I do like these different series of videos.
Spot on
Put a new diff on Garreth
I dont think they will. They can't sell them on their store
And a new better flowing exhaust!
weld it
U need to weld it if u want to drift not to race
DUVO Bikes why weld a diff on a track car 😂😂
There are so many bylanes on the track. In the POV mode, i always go on some lane in my mind. Great job team carthrottle!
Great series, keep it up
When does Garreth get a LSD? Get that diesel grrrrrunt some 2 wheel gription goodness!
they don't sell those...
I think that's against RUclips's guidelines.
@@jebbush8491 what is against youtube guidlines.
@@jebbush8491 a car diffrential is against youtube guidelines.
Will not make much difference if any, and it's a costly upgrade.
Flash>piggyback I would never put one in my car.
If you have the money, go ahead, but if someone just wants to have fun on the budget, chips will do. Its not killing your engine, thats a hefty lie. I wrote it above but I write it again, my neighbour has a mk2 octavia 1.9tdi pd fitted with a chip at around 200k miles, now its on 367k and still no issues whatsoever, chip increased the power from 105hp and 250nm to 120hp and 300nm and all that for 79 pounds instead of the 300 pound remap. Not everyone has the budget to just get a remap.
@@waifuracer6516 totally ignoring the fact that it's a generic tune that doesn't follow the proper mapping. These things are notorious for both overfueling and under fueling. Proper tuning makes sure the ECU follows the fuel mapping the tuner set, which is specifically set for that exact motor. Why would you risk fuel washing the cylinders, or burning the rings just to save a couple hundred dollars, when a rebuild is roughly a couple thousand?
Your logic is flawed. Save your pennies for a few months and get the right tune.
You are the one ignoring the facts here not me. If it didnt cause any issue under 167k miles, than why do you still think its gonna fuck the engine? Also who in the right mind rebuilds an engine that is used for commuting, when you can buy complete engines off of ebay for under 1k especially for cars like the octavia that is litterally everywhere, the parts are everywhere and since there are a lot the prices are quiet low... Of course I wouldnt chip a car like an A6 2.5 because that engine is a pain in the ass to begin with and if it blows a new engine is costly as well but with a 330d or an octavia? nah man. Chill
@@waifuracer6516 bahaha you're telling Me to chill when you're going through the comments telling everyone they're wrong, you literally just ignored FACTS with your anecdotal evidence. That's called straw man.
Run along straw man.
@@waifuracer6516 this video was recently released, with the chip installed. That's not 167k
Go ahead and ignore my warning, and keep washing those cylinder walls. I'm sure just because you don't notice the compression loss immediately it certainly isn't happening.. riiiighhttt
His reactions to the chip reminded me of their car salesmen video 😁😂
People who doubt any of these , i have the last version of the 330D e91 with the M57 engine , 6 speed manual and X-drive , with option to turn it off. Absolutely quick cars ! 316 hp and 750Nm on a stage 2 tune and downpipe/Egr delete / Swirl flaps. Sad thing is tho, after this , you need to spend A LOT of money to find a worthy UPGRADE. SO better keep it :D
Used to enjoy this series... now is getting a joke... no dyno proof , as we know and being tested , these chips are bs..... but yeah , you sell them on your shop... ffs , stop taking times with an iphone and get proper tools...
I think you maybe missing the point...this isn't BTCC
@@timmeh101851 you are missing the point. Here they talk about IMPROVING the performance of a car. You have to prove that properly when you are a "car show" .
Indeed the moment a chip comes with "engine warranty" I roll my eyes, there's no way they can do that. With more power comes more wear, on all components.
@daniel guta chips actually work on turbo dieselt unlike those 20€ ebay chips for your civic
@ 1. I don't own a civic.
2. No dyno test , no proof.
3. You have no idea how these "chips" work :)
It’s friday and RUclips feed was showing already-seen videos.... until.... Gareth!
Cool comparing each modification and how it improves the car👍
I like the video even without starting watching it and I don't know why, oh, maybe cause you guys are awesome!
Hybrid turbo injectors front mounted intercooler and it goes like a spaceship
a) it already has a front mounted intercooler (where else would it go?)
b) the turbo is actually pretty sophisticated (VNT and all)
c) the injectors aren't the problem since it's not a gasoline powered car.
And a real tune
MrSchorschschorsch it would go where the stock one is. Lol new to modding cars ?
@@MrSchorschschorsch Top mount intercoolers do exist...
@@BMWE90HQ yeah it really needs a real duno tune, but they cant sell a dyno tune on their store.
i feel like this is towars the car throttle shop than the actual project car and that annoys me
Love watching this series
Looking forward to the next episode!
Its a shame you guys went for a piggyback box. It will fiddle with fuel injecting and throttle response will be way faster but you will still be limited to the original ecu torque, boost and injection maps, not to mention that over time the self adaptation of the car ecu will compensate the piggyback box overfuelling.
So I challenge you guys for a proper review with dyno figures on install and after a week of trash driving (to give time to the ecu to adapt) and then do a proper ECU remap on a bespoked company and see the difference.
^^ This man knows what he's talking about, this is indeed not how you do tuning.
^^ This man knows what he's talking about, this is indeed not how you do tuning.
They’ll never do it, it would jeopardize their revenue for said piggy back box they’re peddling on the shop
Orvieta he’s talking common sense, doesn’t mean he knows his shit lol
Pedro Branco sorry but you’re talking shit. I should know, I’ve bought three RaceChips, Audi Q5, BMW 428i and now in my 2.0TFSI Arteon R which is generating 334HP and 100 extra torque. I’ve had RaceChips for a combined 3+yrs and they are faultless, they do not lose power, they DO increase torque and they perform as well as any tune. Also, judging by the pissed off A45 AMG driver on Sunday who I blew off at the lights, it’s pretty bloody good value for money!
Unless i see a proper dyno run i don't care. A highly edited video of crigeworthy track racing doesn't mean much, because there are much more variables other than power. i would also expect a bit of a black smoke out the exhaust when in race mode, but it was as clear as countryside air. This junk will most probably ruin your car, because it's not properly custom mapped.
Two_Number_Nines it just mainly increases fuel pressure, shouldn’t do anything harmful to the car, they’ve been tuned for the specific model of ECU, they have these things in mind you know, they are going to know if it messes with the car or pumps out black smoke lol
@@DoktrDub only thing the box does is overfueling. The ECU can easily adapt after about a week. Then the box does basically nothing. Proper remapping will stay permanent and will work way better
I think so too. I can in comment to confirm. I would not put that thing in my car. Don't promote stuff just for the buck
I love the fact that u took an old, cheap and reliable car and showed that to have fun you don't need an expensive car
hahaha i love it! best video yet this series!
Race Chip is rubbish. Tested one on a MK7 GTi some time back and the car actually lost power. I don't know if they are any better now but piggy back or ECU foolers rarely work, in fact they can be quite dangerous. The only plug and play system i would trust on a BMW is Burger Motorsports's JB4 or in your case JBD. These have been proven to make good safe power. Ideally you would just want to flash a proper map on to the ECU though.
All piggybacks fight the ECU. You will not be able to adjust the torque or cylinder pressure limiters. You are also not adjusting the AFR or timing, so stick with a proper flash tune.
Have no experience with them and have not heard much either. You should check out forums for people's experience of them. But if in doubt, i would say just go with a reputable tuner and get a proper custom map flashed on to your ECU.
Been running a jb4 for almost 3 years and it’s by far the best performance per pound. Great bit of kit
proper maping is the way to go
Race Chip destroyed the engine in my VXR, no word of a lie. Avoid this crap if you value your motor. A bespoke dyno or live map is far safer and superior.
That poor turbo you can hear it screaming to death after some rounds. That heatsoak loses more than 10hp. You should improve the cooling if your going for more power.
Haris Lekovic you’re
This is the best mini series you’ve done Alex
Gonna have a look at an E46 330D Touring tonight, hopefully this one will be just as awesome as the carthrottle one!
Preprogramed Piggy Box is very much BS.Declared HP increase never going to happen.But anyway I enjoyed this advertisement,hopefully you will go on rollers and see reality on dyno tune.Keep it up good work!
WellWisher proper tune is much much better though.. but what about JB tuning? A lot of people done it and makes a lot of number for 320i 328i 335i (turbo gasoline)
drag strip testing would've been adequate
Had something similar to this chip box (I think it was called KCR Diesel) to try for free on my M57D25 E39. These boxes do make difference, but in my case it was pretty shitty. Yes, the car felt quicker and the throttle response was better, but other than that the engine had strangely more vibration and also fuel consumption has gotten from 8/100km to about 10.5/100km. So I guess these will never be as good as a proper dyno'ed remap
Had one of these from tdi tuning uk on my old golf gt tdi, 2 injectors died 4 months later, mechanic said it was because of this box and a proper map would’ve been a lot safer
Fakin mint m8, you just made my day, hell you made my week go from shitty to good right when i saw your vid pop up in notifications, thank you , contuinue being awsome
my 2.0 TDI is getting an optimization next friday from a very experienced tuner. can't wait! way better than these data cheating, non individual devices. my tuner is setting up the boost, fuel amount, security stuff, ignition timing with petrols, have it dynoed etc. for not much more money than the expensive race chip. and the cheap ones suck even more. and you don't see a software change, while this box is right in your face.
Sick!
Went from 180hp and 400Nm to 250hp and 600Nm. Stage 1. 2.7TDI
I did it with my dads, golf GTD, I myself have GTI. Both mark 7 the GTD is know faster with a whopping 225 HP and 460 nm of torque its insane
40.000 miles further with the dsg gtd and still no problems. Its at 80k miles now
That's great but where's the new V6 MX-5???
Because of these series of videos, I'm actually looking for 330d to buy. This is addictive
Glad to see Gareth is still doing well
At this point it cheaper just to buy a e46 m3
what fun is that...besides you can do it to a E46, C3PO and even an R2D2 if you want
M3 is way more fun than a diesel station wagon trust me
CSL would have been ideal
They did this more for the content, this was more enjoyable to watch than them buying an e46 m3 and doing lap times
Not in fuel
Yass. Been waiting for an ECU TUNE/REMAP/CHIP since the beginning. 🤟🤟🤟
Me too
Not with this. Total bull.
@FourEye i agree, this isn't a proper tune, there would be far more potential
FourEye id have prefer a real remap, but it’s better than nothing. A real remap would have taken it further.
The map may be even worse than stock. Just more high end power
I love the color, and I like the wheels as well :O
these dudes really gonna make everything for my car and I'm gonna buy everything, I need this! do headers!
1) seeing comparisons on a dyno for actual before/after figures would have made this more credible.
2) the m3 you tested isn't stripped out, so why should we lose the interior in Gareth? It's no longer directly comparable to the m3.
3) your mates thumb still has enough margin for error that your lap performances are also barely credible.
4) for a show with a budget like yours I would expect far more accurate comparisons to individual mods.
This segment is really frustrating because I really want to see genuine proof of improvements for each modification. Lap times, g meters, dyno's. Numbers will prove your shop gear is worth a damn
Scott Dann that’s why it will never happen
2) It wasn't comparable to the M3 in the first place, since it's a Diesel Estate car... Plus they lost the interior on the IS 200 and that helped a lot.
@@starshape6650 I would rather see the car almost make it with a full interior than just beat it with no interior. I guess I want to see it as still an everyday daily driver still.
How big do you think their budget is. It's a fun video not a scientific experiment.
@@23gatesy Well the channel is worth around $1 million and Alex is worth $86 million as of 2020, so I'd say they're not exactly on as tight of a budget as many of their shows seem to suggest. Then again, they may want to keep the material closer to their viewers than to themselves.
When car throttle uploads it's like an event
Damn i cant wait till next week. I recon they should have pulled out all the weight on first episode so when the struts/springs were installed they could have been setup for the weight loss. This currently my fav series of videos.
simply one of the best intros Ive ever seen. ever
Schlurp, schlurp..instead of just guzzling sponsorship schlong, how about explaining how the magic box actually works? Like, how does it effect the mapping to increase power, for example? Previously, there was close attention to detail with some really good technical people explaining suspension setup, but here there seems to be no explanation of how the plug-in is functioning. It's hard not to conclude that you're selling out somewhat.
richard boggon This. It’s painful watching some of these nowadays, like the days of Clarkson Top Gear, it will probably never be as good from here on out
When will you start on weight reduction
That's a bit personal.... Oh, sorry, you mean the car.
next ep
Hopefully...
Did you even watch the end of the video?
I wrote my reply in the middle of the vid
The flexing in the 2:17 is just awesome😆
I tested a Racechip Ultimate (now changed the name to GTS Black) on my Seat Ibiza Cupra 192 PS... and it was running 9 psi prior to the chip and 14.35 psi after the chip. Revo claim their remaps run at around 14.5 psi, so it’s pretty damn close!
Also, a dyno run showed that power increased from 189bhp to 246bhp! Running premium unleaded and an upgraded intake as well.
Having said that, my friend used one on his N54 335i and had misfiring issues and constant management lights...
When are you going to paint some go faster stripes on and kill all lap records by weeks.
240HP is a very low number for one of these! Could've easily gone more with a similar remap
Until recently I had a C350 CDI and that had 240BHP stock. 240 doesn't sound particularly impressive.
Wish you'd do these runs with a rolling start - say, idle speed in 1st. That would eliminate inconsistencies with your clutch work - and make the results more useful.
If it's AT ALL POSSIBLE to get ahold of an E46 M3 it would make a solid benchmark to this endeavour as well.
It would be impressive to see Garreth match an E46 M3 in time around this (now famous and world renown) track.
so were supposed to believe that this bullshit changed something without showing us the car on the dyno . alirght
thing is this stuff actually works, it's worth the small price compared to other modifications
It's not that difficult to believe
yes this needs dyno test,
When he said it was something people have been crying out for in the comments, I thought he would introduce a proper lap timer :(
11:30 Hahaha That's escalated quickly 😂
Another mega episode m8
we want phil back !!
Oh I see, so they won't do a remap because they won't be able to sell it on their website, it starts to make sense!
Can’t wait for the weight reduction episode might make 37.5ish, also loving the series great work
I did in my 2004 330d dyno run, and it made 222HP stock. Changed IC for bigger one and re-mapped it and it gave me nice 280HP. Great engine. Loved this car so much... Unfortunately wrecked it and almost killed myself. I miss her so much...
Few more episodes and you guys are going to make it like an M5
You need new tires .. all those laps, thread is most likely wearing off.. those race tires aren't made to last too long...
Daaaamn... I was expecting exhaust next. Guess we will have to wait for that more...
Taking out the interior of any E46 has a dramatic effect on the grunt. I got taken out in a stripped out E46 track prepped car when I last picked up my car from being serviced and the difference was astonishing. CF doors and panels all round, roll cage, usual coilovers and BBK, but currently stock power on the unit. I swear this thing could easily hit 60 in well under 5 secs with a good launch. After taking the heavy seats and liners out ol' gareth will possibly have nearly another 3/4 of a sec to shave off that lap time, taking it well within a midges' nad off that stock E92 time! Be very interesting to see the result. Making me look again at those Sparco R333 race seats now...
I love the 330d want to do my own👍🏼
Like Number 1😄
Get the car tuned on a dyno. Not a silly chip.
A flashing china box :P
This comment didn't age well
I've had my XF-S 3.0 TTD V6 remapped from 271bhp to 325bhp, 600nm to 700nm, not a huge boost as it is already tuned by Jag over the standard model. That said, it is noticeably faster than before plus it's had one of those exhaust mods which increase power quite bit :D
Finally a performance chip! Love how easy you can make more power with turbo diesel! 😊🏁
Went to the shop. They only do it for diesel and turbo models. I've got a 330Ci so you can't chip a NA.
Thanks for the advice. What do you think about a CAI? Any noticeable gains there?
Not really any improvements on N/A cars with chip. Minimal gains and maybe raised RPM limit.
CAI makes little to no difference.
If you want to try get some power you should get aftermarket headers, cat delete etc etc.
If you have the money, supercharger is also an alternative. ESS has some good ones.
Don't know if the coupe is different but a manual 330i touring has a 2.94:1
zeroyon223 put a downpipe in it with remap maybe 20 hp
smaking the wheel adds +50 horsepower
What a bolt of lightning wow
I love these videos
Who else can't wait for that weight reduction??!
I don't want to sound like an ass but a 30% increase in power is a bit optimistic for a chip tune. Unless BMW are really incompetent in tuning a car properly that is.
Depends. Most manufacturers detune their engines slightly to comply with emissions/noise regulations, make it more reliable and resilient against lower quality fuels, and sometime to keep the car within a power bracket so that it doesn't compete with a better specc'd car.
That’s pretty realistic for most turbo diesels for a proper dyno tune.
The 30% figure applies to torque not power. He got it wrong. Power gains are around 8~10%
Why did it take YT so long to inform me? Damn. Next week I'll keep your channel on so I won't be late. This is a very exiting video series. So two more weeks? Next week is gonna be hard for you. Stripping will give you the opportunity to break later but you got used to the breakpoints. In the last week I would like to know how much a roll cage cost.(In seconds not in pounds ;-) And maybe before you do that compare it to a stock Model with a bigger engine that has these lap times.I hope you do Clips like this series to many cars,maybe even to Miles:-)
Of course they missed the biggest upgrade opportunity ... give Alex some race driving training. That’s not a snippy comment, would genuinely be interesting to see how much faster he could go with just improving his own race software
Now turbo it to 70 psi so you can make 1500 ft lbs!
Bye bye gearbox!
More like bye bye everything 😂
Hello Moon
U have ambition. Love it lol
Probably won't get taken notice of but.......... How about some professional tuition? I mean bouncing off the kerbs must be slower than actually having the tyre in contact with the asphalt.
Dan gould exactly!!
@@RobiB95 I'm sure their could be 2 seconds easily by tidying up lines.....
Dan gould I must say he sucks att driving, he has driven that track hundred of times, he better know the lines now.... I’ve been to couple trackdays, learned the track quite fast lol
@@RobiB95 yea I feel the same.... I pick up lines quickly but then again I'm on an R6 so a bit different
Dan gould Glad someone has their mind in the right place haha ;)
That pretty fly shirt🔥👌🏼
My dad had an ex police car vectra vxr when he had it serviced he was told it had a chip too they had a rough guess that it was running about 310 bph and you felt it alright
