I tihnk we are on the wrong side of the earth mate, why we are having so many problems lol

[e30guydownunder]

Haha thanks bloke, I'm keen to have a few laps in the dry now I have the boost control sorted!

I love your car. It makes my car piddle itself in jealousy.

You will also note before EC I raised my bonnet at the rear. I just drilled a new hole in the mounting brackets about 15mm lower than the original slots raising the mounts the same amount. Not sure how big a difference it made but all the hot air coming out of the bonnet was fogging up the OUTSIDE of the windscreen so it definitely works.

Car is sitting in the driveway all ready to go for Wakefield this weekend. Last event for the year before the usual off-season "bit more than I could chew" work begins. I'm hoping it won't get tooo out of hand.

Some pics from EC

looking at going 16's and 245 slicks. trying to get Rota's of some description (marc's dont have enough offset) as preference (RB's 16x8 et4 sounds nice) but XXR are putting out some new wheels early 2012 that look alright too.

"big wheels"

Do tell

[e30guydownunder]

Cheers guys.

Keep at it Ben, it's all worth it when you get there.

My Chrissy break looks like:

tear engine out for freshen up, headgasket, studs and timing chain
re-do all the engine associated wiring with new ecu
fit cams and 1000cc ID's
big wheels, guards mods and tyres

then some paint somewhere. My thing might be going but its far from over. Ah the joys of modifying cars :D

SR20 is the tits!! I kinda wanna burn the purist in my heart a little more and get one!!! ;)

Cheers Mate. 262hp on the conservative dyno. I recon its around the 220kw mark on your average dyno dynamics, NOT in shootout mode.

I can relate! But mines sitting outside in the rain with the dead lift pump, was only just enough petty left in the surge to get it off the trailer! Our shed is full of M6's / parts currently.

How far off is yours now? got all the exhaust stuff done, much more?

I have a heap left to go still, Fix a few oil leaks here & there. Get the alternator back on. Turbo drain & feed, Cooler piping, Custom rad hoses, Bov Piping because I'm running plumb back, Clean up the wiring in the interior for the guages, Fit wideband & all the vac lines for the wastegate ect. & ecu + tune. I can do majority of the stuff with what I have laying around here. Mainly finding the time to do it at the moment. With any luck it will be at a stage where its ready for Ecu & tune in January sometime.

Me likey too.

[e30guydownunder]

And it's glorious! Fasts is where its at, I love chopping people everywhere.

[DTM190]

i must have upset the OG's with my ability to go fast, nobody else seems to likey.

lol JDM engine + E30 = FONC as it was once explained to me.

You too have thrust yourself into no-mans-land :p

Looking good man, Must be nice to have a running car, how much power is it pushing out now?

I cant even get to mine at the moment with the amount of shit in the shed. Let alone do any work on it :(
