info on purchasing car


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I'm looking at purchasing this V7 Sti. Does anyone here know the car or who built it? Or anything that needs mentioning? The car is down in Wellington. I'm from Auckland but I don't think these pre purchase inspectors would do a thorough check on these sort of vehicles. It currently has a green sticker for noise also, there is no cert for the mods either. but putting that aside i just want some info on the motor, as i plan on getting it road legal anyways.

 

There was a Trademe Listing but it was expired but here's a facebook link for the Marketplace that it's advertised in.

It's a V7 in white with these supporting mods.

 

- Masterpower r595 Turbo
- tial wastegate
-tial bov
-hks 660cc injectors
-detchwerks 650hp fuel pump
-custom steampipe headers
-full 3 inch exhaust
-excedy clutch and lightened flywheel
-hdi intercooler kit
-twisted turbo setup with full flexi downpipe

Probably missed a few things

Turbo and wastegate are brand new

Runs mint just had fresh service

 

Dyno numbers.

 

272kw @23 psi
229kw @16psi

I know the car and I know it is quick however to be completely honest with you I wouldn't touch it. The car gets handed around and is nothing but beaten on. The car had to have a lot of work done on it a couple of months ago and was all completed as a home job. 

 

In my opinion the reason it hasn't been put back on the road is because its known the work that has been completed is masking a larger issue, it has been in the process of "getting cert" for yonks. Why would anyone in the right mind not just get the car a silencer and warrant and sell for way more with that much work and proven dyno power.  

 

After I got ripped off with my car having the problems masked I wouldn't hope that on anyone.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
