From the brief instances of driving it so far (off boost) it feels pretty good. Surprisingly light. Very grabby, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James 23 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hope you went to a better garage this time not that cowboy like before lol I like to think I did haha - I did it myself using a mate's garage! Nobody to blame if anything goes wrong this time! Though, I actually took care to install it properly without tearing it, and actually sealed round it as well. Leigh did none of that. Useless!

James 23 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Nothing really worth updating since getting the good photos down back at the tail end of last year! It started getting frosty up here mid November: https://scontent.flhr4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15978059_566044154213_4885274417114997521_n.jpg?oh=18e883bfa54cdb5c8afb92ed27e7f366&oe=5911DA98 That prompted me to put the car into the wee garage I now have. It hasn't been seen since. I look forward to the decent weather coming round and I'll bring it back out to play. Just in need of a front droplink and it's ready for MOT again. Had some issues with getting the 4" downpipe I bought to fit (the guy welding it made an absolute mess of it and it is scrap). That will be revisited once the car is back on the road. Would be nice to get down to a couple of meets/events at some point later this year if my schedule allows as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James 23 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Not a massive amount has changed over the last few years, so not a great deal to update on this thread! I went to a couple of shows/events: Had a lot of fun at the above one and managed to twist my propshaft and break some teeth on my A03B diff. Replaced the prop with the SRD Heavy Duty and fitted an A02B instead. Replaced the interior with OEM seats retrimmed in Chili Red leather: Had a 4" downpipe fabricated so now running 4" turbo back: Had a shoot done for Banzai but it will be going into a different magazine instead now (proper pictures will be provided later, this is just one I took during!): I also test fitted my new Workmeister S1 3pc wheels. Just need to decide on a finish for them and buy some new lips to take them in by 1/2" as they poke out too much for my preference. I think that is about it for now.

erachter 8 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Can we get more pictures on the interior with red seats? Really interested in how that came out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James 23 Posted Thursday at 04:56 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:56 PM Not much to report in the past year or so - car has stood still for most of it! I had a feature in Japanese Performance recently (will dig out the associated pics) and had the car dyno'd - it made 574bhp / 544lbft. There seems to be something strange going on with the fuel/AFR based on the plots, so I plan to review the ignition and fuel systems, pull the trigger on a Syvecs (AGAIN! Did so before but foolishly sold it for paintwork) and see where I get to from there. Next step after that will be a change of turbo and cams; still keen on the idea of the Garrett GTX3852R Gen 2, which I think will also fit my current GReddy manifold. Oh I also have some Aventador LED rears to fit as well. They're almost done, just need to supply new housings for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
