single pipe ftw, this is a Perfect example of a sleeper

Post Mon Jul 04, 2011 12:11 pm

i did want the car to look standard'ish . i think the single pipe and it still being badged as a 318 finishes it off

Very nice mate, what sort of power do you get from a 24v'er then?

Post Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:21 pm

awsome !

what sort of cost to buy and get it in ? what sort of power and mpg ?

only thing im not keen on is the bucket seats, is seats would be much nicer cosmeticly

Post Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:27 pm

Nice

Where did you get your pressed plates from? After a set for mine.

on the dyno at Alan jeffery's devon

Any mods?

[quote="Jhonno"]Any mods?[/quote
ecu chip from EAT . light m20 flywheel . 2.5" single pipe zorst , with my own cut and welded m52 manifolds . m30 air box .
i never thought that an m50 would give that much , although i have had it dynoed again a couple of months after that and it only did 208 but a bit more torque .

Proper sleeper....

Sounds like the figures are about right then, if it is giving similar on another dyno!

the strange thing is it was the same dyno . but my thermostat was lazy and not letting the engine get up to correct running temp so i am guessing it was a bit rich

Clean looking iS with a 24V bite!

Post Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:01 pm

thanks for all the good comments . i need to wax it again and take some proper pics but that'll have to wait as i have a couple of rear brake pipes a set of stainless hoses to fit before the mot in the next couple of weeks .

oh and another 5l waxoyl to spray on and let drip off on the drive .

Car looks much better in the flesh these photos are not doing it justice monkey. May be cook will do a photo shoot sometime he seems a good photographer.

This car is amazing, a real credit to its owner who does not cut corners and finishes jobs properly, it is like the engine was born in this car. Love the torque that the engine delivers spine tingling.

Think i may get lpg fitted to my IS but it seems to be eating a fair amount of oil any ideas? Hope the family's well. Oh an what are the 1998 + golf TDI's like as thinking of getting one for Angelina soon, i.e. parts prices, reliability known issues.

Post Sat Jul 30, 2011 3:40 pm

thanks Al . i was going to take some more pics of the car as i have just finished polishing it but i have just sat down & opened a beer so no photos today

. i think a golf tdi would be a fine replacement for your 306 , is it a late mk3 or an early mk4 ?

another RR day yesterday 212 bhp not to bad for an old m50 .
