I have just bitten the bullet and booked in at GTT for a 210 conversion next week (I already have a typhoon intake) Can't wait for my 'S' to come alive and be more than the car I always wanted it to be.

Thanks to all on this thread who convinced me be all the good feedback about GTT

See you next week Roland

roland2003 · Jan 10th, 2006, 04:06 PM

Yes I think 210bhp is the power that most of us feel the car should have had straight out of the box. 163-170 is painfull in a car of this weight. See you next week.
Regards Roland

jamiep · Jan 10th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Thanks Roland, looking forward to it..... Hmm what to do all day though while waiting with baited breath

roland2003 · Jan 10th, 2006, 04:22 PM

You can 'gorge in the Gorge

' cafe in Blandford, or better still catch a bus to Poole, it has big indoor (read warm) shopping. We give lifts to & from Blandford town centre anyway.

Lucky git Jamie!

Tell me, what did Roland have to say about the K&N CAI, as I have the same fitted, and wondered whether Roland tried to persuade you into going for his own CAI?

Cheers,

James

I may also have to go with this kit. Wish there was someone near me who had one I could ride in!

jamiep · Jan 10th, 2006, 11:21 PM

Hi Albert, they said the K&N was ok but if ever I wanted to change to the GTT one I could fit it myself easily. To be honest I will probably stick with the K&N as performance is not my only goal, I have had K&N filters on all my cars since I passed my test (too many years ago!) and I have always liked them, besides it looks cool.

jamiep · Jan 10th, 2006, 11:23 PM

Minibbb, where are you. If you are not too far I would gladly meet up

john_o · Jan 10th, 2006, 11:33 PM

I must admit I'm a little scared of all the shiny display cases with 'stuff'. My bank manager is going to hate me I know it

never mind .........

Enjoy your new toy! I'm sure you will

marlin · Jan 11th, 2006, 10:09 AM

There is only one downside, after a while you will want more! its a drug

jamiep · Jan 11th, 2006, 10:41 AM

More good news. Just got a new Insurance quote today (runs out soon) and saved £400 after adding all the mods. NU

Greenlight

roland2003 · Jan 11th, 2006, 10:55 AM

Now thats the type of insurance company we like! You make it faster & more powerful and they realise the power is going to now 'get you past the arctic in time and back in again without having a head on with the car coming towards you

,no prang & no claim so the premium goes down!
Fantastic

Regards Roland GTTuning

jamiep · Jan 17th, 2006, 04:00 PM

Not long now, early night tonight

Will post up the results when I tear myself out of the car tomorrow

AndyH_MCS · Jan 17th, 2006, 05:12 PM

The results would be great! I am getting the same kit on Monday and would really like to know what you think of it. Are you getting the extra pulleys fitted?

jamiep · Jan 17th, 2006, 10:19 PM

Yeah, having the extra pulleys done, was thinking about the exhaust reroute but that may wait till next time

jamiep · Jan 17th, 2006, 10:26 PM

So much for the early night
