Did you see the episode of Scrappy Races they won ? They were unbelievably professional about the whole thing, welded a SAAB engine/trans into the back of an Uno. Even had time to do a decent spray job on it :)
I had to go out. I saw them looking for cars, and saw them pick the uno, and when I got home, I found out, on here, they had stuck a Saab turbo engine and trans in. I was gutted. Was it scrappy races, scrapheap challenge, or Panic Mechanics?
You can't teach kids today can you? If you can't hook it up to laptop, you can't tune it, end of. What do you mean open the bonnet? I might get me burberry dirty.
They actually appear much cooler than i expected :D
People often have that kind of responce when passed by a 2 litre moggy, or V8 Reliant that looks like a slightly odd plastic pig. 0-100 in 10 seconds in a flying bucket. Yes Please.
I'm pretty sure it was Scrappy Races, the one with the Simmonite sister on.
They ended up with a n/a saab on carbs for ease/availability IIRC.
lol bloody ozzy's :)
Chips are shit anyway. If you want real power you need to get an aftermarket computer. Not some ROM chip that isn't setup for your car.

I used Chip as a generic, from Superchips, to Unichip/Emanage addon/piggybacks, to Motec/Autronic/Megasquirt standalone full replacements.
Fair enough. I'm running a unichip on the rex. I just hate the replacement rom chips that change fueling/mapping/limiters without any idea of what has been done on the car.
Fraser
Yeah, I know. Superchips have a chip for the GT4. It just removes the fuel cut, without adding any additional fuel maps for the additional boost you will be able to run, without fuel cut.
Great idea in my opinion.
