Had the car mapped yesterday, but could only get it done at 1.4Bar because for some reason the ECU cuts fuel supply when the boost is set over 1.5Bar.
Had it on the rollers today aswell and the graph ain't pretty
Looks like there could be decent amount of power there once I get it working properly. The goal was to use 1.8Bar boost.
Anyway here is the graph with 1.4Bar:
Here is a video of a mile run.
It was pretty chilly weather so the boost went up to 1.5Bar and the car cut out 3 times during the run. Only got 242km/h
Looks like I somehow failed to post a link to the video
Anyway, here it is:

I shift after it cuts...
Got new rims for next summer.
Was going to get Rota GTR + GTR-D combo, but at the last minute decided to go for XXR 526 instead.
Fronts:
18x9" ET25 with 225/40/18 Federal RS-R
Rears:
18x10.5" ET20 with 255/35/18 Federal RS-R
Test fitted the rear rims yesterday and it seems like some extensive arch work will be needed to get them to fit
Rims will get new paint on them before fitting as the original paint is flaking
Might go for flat black with a colorful dish
Got some new parts yesterday. 4 new lower ball joints from the states and bling bling battery cover from Apex.
Finally I can ditch the adjustable front lower arms.
Just read the whole thread. Nice car and pretty much what I`m doing with my car right now. Keep it updated please. I want to see it on new wheels .

Finally got some old photos taken last winter and thought I should post them here.
Head bolted on:
Apex'i headgasket:
I used lots of Redline engine assembly grease:
This baffle had to be modified to fit the Tomer RAS kit:
Tried the rocker cover on:
And as seen in the last pic it didn't really fit without some modification:
Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate for oil cooler installed:
And couple of pics of the "Freddy" winged sump that had to be seriously modified to fit:
Engine almost built:
And back in the car:
FMIC in place:
And finally a pic of the chemical used in the project :
Car passed the MOT last saturday so I got in back on the road
Took some pics of it now that it's finally here
A little teaser:
wow those wheels are going to look awsome!
great job with the engine dude, loving the rocker cover
Painted the wheels today. Didn't go so well and will have to do it again some day, but for now they are in the car.
Tooks some pics after fitting the wheels and here they are:
Wheels are looking really good. Just need to see some nice side on shots now .
Here are a few more pics:
Now I guess I'll need maybe a half a deg more negative camber on the rear and drop it by maybe 20mm...
Took a few pics of the engine bay today. Would need a good clean up and some general tidying up, but here is the current look:
Love the look of this mate! engine bay looks sweet dude!
Had a "professional" photoshoot of my car a few days ago. Here are some of the pics:
Looking good
Finally today I started fitting the bodykit I have had for over 2 years.
It's GTAuto GT2 bodykit I got from SRBPower in 2010.
Front bumper fits surprisingly well. Don't really have to do much to get a decent fit:
Sideskirts will require a bit more work to fit properly:
Rear bumper would fit otherwise ok, but I will have to change the rear silencer. (It won't fit the hole in the bumper)
Took the stock rear wing off aswell and to my surprise there wasn't any rot under it
I have DW Carbon GT wing that I will fit with the bodykit...
That kit is going to take this car to the next level, looks spot on, engine bay is sooooooo clean, top work mate!
