323 BPT 1.8 Impressions.
Hello guys. I just picked up my car from Derrick at Corksport and I am very pleased with the performance of the car. It feels at 8PSi(what I ran it home from Portland on) much quicker than the car at 20PSI before. Lots of torque and great throttle response as well. The 5th gear swap worked beautifully and dropped the freeway revs at 70MPH to 3000RPM and at 80MPH to 3400RPM. I still only got 200 miles per tank! OUCH! What surprised me the most was how quite the car is at freeway speeds. The only noise comes from the Ground Controls occasionally at 80MPH(a slight rattle). I had 2 "tests" on my trip home. A yellow Audi S4 and a new red celica GTS(with custom everything)did not see which way I went as I dusted both of them from a freeway roll(the car gets to 110MPH very quickly) There are a few things that need to be sorted on the car, but nothing major. I can't wait to get the rest of the car finished with the hood, 16 inch wheels and tires(my 15's are a joke)and a good paint job. If anyone has any questions feel free to email me. A special thanks to both Chris and Derrick at Corksport who gave a whole new meaning to customer service at Albertsons. Thanks guys.<BR>Brett.
