Thought I should move this update over to here

Went down to GTT on Thursday with my mate, both in MCS Soft-tops, left one car there overnight so Roland could get straight on it Friday morning... Talk about a sleepless night! We pick up my mates car at around 12pm friday and leave mine there. My god its fast! We spank it off to the tank museum to waste the next 4 hours while mine is done.

Well what can I say, we get back at 4pm cos I couldnt wait any longer, fortunately Roland had finished, within in 15 mins we where off, like little rockets! I have to say the 220 package is well worth the money, absolutely brill!

Mind you I didnt realise how quick these things are until we got back to our own patch and the roads we really know well, its only then you can appreciate the performance increase...

Great Job Roland!

Ant FR · May 29th, 2007, 10:43 AM

asodo · May 29th, 2007, 10:45 AM

ah yes, saw your motor when we arrived, looking very nice too

My mates was also a Silver MCS, but in soft-top...

Ant FR · May 29th, 2007, 10:48 AM

mine was ina right state that day desperate need of a clean, but under the bonnett looked good once Roland had finished with it., i'll have to look out for you if i am down Margate way ( which i am occasionally). I had a play in mine against a GP on saturday night and thre was nothing in it at all, which i think ****ed him off a little....lol

asodo · May 29th, 2007, 10:50 AM

lol - yes I had an audi s4 trying to pull away from me, wasnt much in it, and in the end he let me pass

Ill stick up some photos too

asodo · May 29th, 2007, 11:04 AM

Some pics, not much to look at I guess

Ant FR · May 29th, 2007, 12:06 PM

bugger you got blue air filter, I wanted black which i ordeed but Roland mistakengly fitted blue, but i have a red element.

ROLAND any chance of swapping my red one for a blue one, as mine don't look that good compared to asodo's

Damo · May 31st, 2007, 07:56 PM

Does Roland do different coloured filters?

More than welcome Roland, it's still running fab but I think I need better brakes now!

ONED · Jun 5th, 2007, 12:26 PM

Is there not an intercooler upgrade with this?

This is what I had done:
GTT220+ ecu remap + optimised bypass valve + high temp iridium sparkplugs + GTT supercharger pulley + shorter 'stickier' drive belt + GTT twin bearing idler pulley. + GTT 'cold ram' induction system £995+vat FITTED

Except the ECU remap, because its not required and so got the job a bit cheaper...

minimadmunday · Jun 21st, 2007, 09:04 PM

So what effect does the 220 have on insurance - I want to get it done this summer - just getting there for a day is a problem.

Can you give me some more info. on how it changed the performance in your opinion, 0-60, traction etc.

Can't wait

made my insurance cheaper

with 170 bhp was with AA, THEN went to A.flux with mods and it was cheaper with 220?
i would get a quote b4 work is done though, as insurance is a minefield

no dyno or stop watch but much better [more available pull] than a 05 works s for less than a 1/4 of the price, so what else do you need to know

roland2003 · Jun 22nd, 2007, 08:23 AM

...Hi, yes Adrian Flux are very quote friendly with GTT modified cars..

...goes back to the R5 days.
Best Regards Roland GTT

Ant FR · Jun 22nd, 2007, 11:16 AM

80quid on top of normal premium for me with A Flux, I';m paying just on 600 with all mods declared.
