My FD Kills Aston Martin DB9 & Vanquish
 

Anyway...driving back from having the car tuned after a fresh rebuild and my BNR S3 Twins being fitted. Merrily going along at around 10pm.

Im coming off one motorway onto another on a 50mph slip road. Im on inside lane. 2 Astons pass me on the outside. So i look over at my bro...we both grin...

I waited until we got clear of the bend...got closer...closer...not aggresivley...just steady. They are both in the middle lane now i move to the outside. Pull up along side. Driver of the DB9 Convertible in Sky Blue looks over and shakes his head as if to say you dont stand a chance...I gun it and leave him for dead.

Drop back down to 70mph...they catch up. Im in the middle they are in the outside along side each other he nails it i leave it in 5th and floor it! I stuck with him until he had no choice but to move over and let me pass! Played with him for a good few miles passing each other...a good run...but theres more :D

So do the same again with the Vanquish...Silver Titanium...awesome sounding car! We go full out for a good 3 miles me reaching 6900rpm top of 5th! By that time he was about 5 car lengths behind!!!! By far the best race iv had in the FD up to now. I had a play with some bikes before but not up to these speeds. Bikers tend to back off at around 140mph :(

Anyway we all cool down to 70mph and they both decide to stay behind me until they turn off the motorway. I blinked my hazard lights in recognition of a good run but they chose to ignore it...

I was soooooo pleased! Finally after 16 months off the road the day i get it tuned i destroy a 5.9L £160,000 500hp Vanquish

Muhahahahaha bring it oooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Probably that 4k pounds of weight working against them.

Exelant kill, I love it when a eruo gets kaned. I can wait to find a car like that here in NZ to race. Just need to get my GT35/40 setup tuned now.

good kill! i was dead even a few years ago with a vanquish and my mods at that time were only intake, dp, exuast, and m2 ecu.

Nice kills. Seems like every Aston driver I've encountered is a paumpus ass.

How much rwhp did you make on the BNRs?

ahhh yes, and we wait for the answer....................

im curious to find out too.

dum dum dum dum...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I might have believed your story until I read this. In 5th gear, at 70 mph, you don't have shit for power. As far as I am concerned, you have ZERO credibility after writing this.

Oh, and why are you listing your speeds in mph? Since you are in the UK, your speedo reads KPH in large lettering. I think you are full of shit.

adam c

I agree completly with you. This story is total BS, this just so happens to be his first post in 3 years and the 1st time he has his car tuned/on the road/etc/etc/BS/BS/BS

People should back there stories up with video, that is the only way I believe half of these stories!

I think the fool disappeared. lol

Fuck you guys...just cos im not a thick yank and i know what kph = in mph & we work in MPH here in the UK, just because my speedo reads in kph doesnt mean i dont know what speed im doing in mph?? How do you know i dont have another digital gauge that tells me my speed in mph...you dont!...and also i also have another user account...

Shit for power...sorry but have you driven my car or similar spec car? Possibly but I dooooont think so...what spec do you drive? Iv got 3 FD's all running over 400hp...so fuuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu

And anyway what would i actually have to gain by lying?!?! At the end of the day i know what happened my bro knows what happened so frankly i dont give a fuck what you think!

& in answer to the HP question i dont know yet because it hasnt been dyno'd

im from uk too. my speedo has a converter to read mph. roads here are mph. rixio is a sound lad. one of his rex`s won best of show at rotorstock this year.

Rixio,

Most of what you initially posted was believable. But, like I said earlier, your car isn't going to make very much power in 5th gear at 70 mph. Unless you are an imbecile, you know that too. You may make 400 hp at 6500 rpm, but you sure can't do it at 4000 rpm. So, if the other guy was racing (and wasn't a complete idiot), he should have destroyed you. Was he an idiot, or simply not racing?

I don't know what you would gain by lying, but it happens frequently here.

70 mph in 5th gear .....what an idiot.....

also are you running the twins seq or not..

What a strange thing to write. Speedo's in the UK read in mph in big letters, even on an import, they have to be converted to mph as that is what our speed limits are in. Do you think we're in France or something? :lol:

As for the 70mph, 5th gear thing - personally I would have changed down but I know Rixio too and he has no reason to make this stuff up, it does sound a bit far fetched unless he's non sequential but not enough to flame him.

Good kill, mate.

70mph in fifth ??

I run a Apexi rx6 turbo unit and can leave it in fifth too , all depends on what rpm the turbo kicks in guys :shocking:

I personally know Rixio well and i know the guy has no need to make things up :icon_tup: .

Hes a sound guy and is a willing helper to anyone who needs a hand. :)

I think what he believes it true really happend.

Hes running bnr's seq and has one of the top tuners/builders in the UK as a close friend and duz all his work, including his rebuild so i wouldnt be suprised if something nice is going on under that bonnet. ;)

Dunno about the ports or anything else but i know hes aiming for the highest bhp in the UK on bnr's

Give the guy a little slack as he dont deserve flames.

You should be ashamed of yourslefs but then again flames are all to easy to ignight here, guess its cause the average age here is lower than UK FD owners (just an asumption). :tonque:

Flame away if you like as it will fall on deaf ears as im 2 long in the tooth to listen to yas :D

Well, Rixio may be a nice guy, and maybe its all true. However, trying to race someone while in 5th gear at 70 mph is just plain foolish. If the Aston Martin driver were in the proper gear, he would have easily walked away from Rixio. Maybe they are both poor racers??? That's the only explanation unless the Aston Martin driver simply wasn't racing.

yeah i agree...seems like rixio has a good reputation. i dont care what turbo u have at 70mph in 5th gear...he would get smoked like a mother fucker as long as the guy in the other car knows what he is doing. i am not gona argue anymore. this is just dumb.

Thats how I walked all over a Mach 1 Mustang (newer model) in my FC. He didn't bump it down a few gears so I took advantage of that.

:rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

At the end of the day is it that important???

Maybe the Vanquish paddle gearbox was slow to react, maybe the driver was, or maybe Rixio has managed to map his car and get his turbo setup better than yours? who knows - point is he whipped the asses of two Astons That is a good thing yeah?
