Default Back on the net and the road

Hi all, it's been ages since I've been on here thanks to the computer dieing on me, and I've just rebuilt the bloody thing. It's funny though, it died on the same day that I got the ol' crate back from getting the Wolf 3D installed.

Anyways, just to let you know, before the Wolf went in it pulled 138kW at the wheels and ran like a bucket of shit, some of you will know how badly it was missing and the like, now after the Wolf it does 161kW at the wheels, and goes very nicely

Just letting you all know and catching up a bit!

Alex

Glad to hear from you Alex! Don't suppose you can make the meet on Monday.

That's a fantastic dyno figure, glad you sorted out those computer probs.

Long time no see Alex Sounds like the old luxo barge will be frightening a lot of others on the road now!

Oh and thanks, you've just made me realise how much I am lagging in the performance stakes now...

Thanks guys, good to be back

Wayne the ol' LWB is going alright, although cold starts still seem to be a problem, although it can be tuned as I have the hand controller. I'll have to take some pics. It's a lot of fun in the wet, just can't get traction! It's a hell of a lot quicker now and peak torque is at around 3500rpm then is pretty much a flat torque curve right up to the cutout... Although you can still feel it struggles a little with all that weight. Doesn't matter though, it runs well now and sounds like a monster at idle, especially through the maccas drive through lol

It idles better as in even when its cold, but it's still lumpy as hell as you can image, it doesn't like it below 1000rpm...
