Top Gear Magazine

After having done the article on the Litchfield S/C car, Top Gear Magazine contacted Fensport with the view to doing a similar article on their AVO Turbo option. An opportunity like this could not be passed up, so Adrian and I have spent the day at the Top Gear track in Surrey, Southern England

We took both my manual stage 3 car, and the Fensport GT86S automatic car (which is stage 1). Without jumping the gun, I think it is fair to say Top Gear were suitably impressed, and I cannot remember when I had such a fun day.

Ollie Marriage - the Editor of Top Gear Magazine said that the printed version should be out in about 6 weeks, although he would try a publish a review on their web site sooner. For me I think the highlight of the day was when he took me for some laps of the top Gear track in my car - it really did it well, the handling and acceleration was fantastic.

A Couple of videos and pictures:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xemmuL5v51I&list=UU78UMY7SeVbKZE2o35uBzSQ"]GT86 Acceleration - YouTube[/ame]







A massive thank you to Adrian and the Fensport team for building me such an awesome car, and for making yesterday possible

You inspired me to go get a sound clip of my exhaust. Not a drive-by, but at least got the startup.....and a drive-over? hehe

Avo Turbo Kit, FA20club overpipe, Invidia catless Front Pipe, Invidia N1

I actually need to flash a new tune and get a couple logs in, might setup the camera for a drive-by clip and maybe a few pulls in a bit. It it warms up enough outside and the ground is dry.

Your camera sweated bullets when the front wheels came down to the ground.

I've installed my kit and sounds like an exhaust leak.

Called avo and nobody picks up or answers my emails to send me a base map. I even paid a local ecutek vendor 50$ for a base map but I can't even use it because there's zero license on the cable.

I bought a cable and it comes with 0 license?

This has been very frustrating. I'm almost on the edge of pulling this off and going with another company.
