we still have several options ( i only own 1/3rd of the car ) the most viable of which was fix and sell :censored:

So you want someone local to rag your car then to find any faults? I'll give it a shot if you have no other offers

Hehe :whip:

No seriously I don't know the S13's that well (it would probably be better if someone who does took a look) although I have driven them and I am happy to have a look if you want.

not sure about rag it. i'm still running it in. (done 360 miles now)

just got the odd nosie here and there, don't know how to set the timing, tell me if it seems to be running ok, etc.

for all i know, something obvious might be wrong and i could be killing it.

when are you free Papa? where could i meet you?

Cheers, Tom.

cheers for taking the time to come and see me Papa. i love your car mate :thumbs:
Papa Lazarou

No problem mate. Like I said I don't think your car has any major issues I could detect. Sounds sweet. Like I said, feels a bit flat, but 7 psi and probably the timing isn't helping matters. Sort that and open up the boost valve a little.

I reckon your rev counter is telling porkies, perhaps if you could set the turbo timer to display RPM all the time that would be good? Like I said it didn't feel like 4500 rpm I was taking it to. Perhaps it will come alive a bit more with more revs :)

Papa Lazarou

Dave200
