Evolve carbon fibre intake- now with a video

[jamiez]

We need audio when you get it back

What are these gonna cost group buy?

 

[Woots]

That looks fab!!!!!!

And that's not even got the production shiny finish!!!

 

[Beedub]

And the limiters removed! Winner! What's theoretical top speed in 6th?

I'll never hit it....just curious

I reckon in standard trim about 175mph in a Z4MC. With 30hp more you ought be able to do a few mph better than that. Maybe 178mph ish?

That's gorgeous

178mph - bet that's quite stimulating :evil:

Well somewhere else in Europe they seem to have an M Drivers Package that raises the speed limiter to 174 mph. So I would have though derestricted more than that.

TBH "when in a country/location it was legal to do so" mine felt a bit flat above 140-150.

Yep. I think it actually sounds more fruity inside the car than a CSL and I had a few passenger laps around The Ring in June to compare. You will enjoy it! 8)

How's your sleep now?

Really? Mine was the opposite and relatively speaking, shot over the 150 mark up to and over, an indicated 160 leptons.

 

[Woots]

Can't sleep due to jet lag and excitement!!

Today's the day ill try and write something up by the end of the night, not a full review, just a taster

 

[MrPT]

s**t, that looks incredible. Like a massive carbon fibre leech eating your engine.

 

[Bing]

Is it going to be shiny by the time you get it ? Have fun

 

[ranski]

That's flipping huge - Jealous!

PS looks like the head off Ridley Scott's 'Alien'

Well I reckon 30bhp qualifies as a reasonable gain so that sorts that issue out, good news will be interesting to see the graphs and how/where the extra is made. Power aside though, it does look amazing and should sound even better, I'm not surprised you're excited woots, I wouldn't be able to sit still let alone sleep!

I was also baffled at just how easily it got to these speeds and at how much more it seemed to have left - utterly ridiculous but absolutely brilliant :lol:

Tbh I reckon a lower final drive would be the thing to do on these cars. Who needs more than 150/160 anyway? I'd much rather get to 100/120 even faster.
