Nah, that wouldn't suit this type of wheel. Besides, did you know I did not paint the BBS wheels hearts? The former owner (they were on a custom GolfV) I bought the wheels from painted them gold, I just bought them like that. Mostly because I was looking for that particulair size (9Jx18 is rather rare, most rears are 10Jx18).

Dare I ask, what are your plans about the bbs wheels?
They will be sold to raise funds to pay for the semi-slick tires I need for the 17". The current owner of my former 412S has an interest, so we'll see if that works out ;)

oh, if I remember correctly, I saw a picture of the 412 with those wheels on, and it looked veeery nice.
If that doesn't work out in the end, I'd very much like a price quote on those :D

No worries mate, you'll be first then, but he would be very foolish not to accept as I asked him a very reasonable price (which would be same for you then of course ;)).

Hi Wally

So what did you do that deserved a kiss and a champagne spray, besides driving a cool car?

Nah, she's cute too ;)

Last event this year was a dynoday with 12 cars.
Was very cool and lots of fun with many familiar faces :)

My heap made 458 hp at 7000 rpm with 1,7 bar boost, which was a little disappointing as I would have expected 20-30 hp more with the much cooler weather.
Oh well..the dyno operator let the engine run on by accident, so it peaked at just over 7700 rpm where I had set the rpm-cut. It had still 1.7 bar boost (25 psi) at that rpm, so I am very happy (and almost suprised) the engine survived that!

Very nice Walter
 
Hi, during the off season will you take your engine apart for a inspection? That engine has done very well:eek:

70Turbobug November 27th 2011 02:03

Congrats Wally!! That's freakin awesome! If you expected more,then one explanation could be if it the dyno bases its measurement on speed,possibly the smaller wheels produced a slower speed? Maybe the correction factor hasn't been changed since your last run? A larger wheel would turn the dyno faster at the same rpm.Just a guess....
