ok new update.

Car now has new suspension, new rotors, new pads and new Nitto Invo tyres.

So it's stops and goes around cnrs heaps better than stock.

Also ran it on a mild tune at WSID 2 wed nights ago and managed a 12.300 @ 117 mph but had crap 60 and still have the stock gear farts in there.

So a 1.9 60 and sharper shifts should see a high 11 real soon!

Similar thing happened to me recently. Flew from Perth to Melboune to pick up an F6. Driving back at the SA - WA border the turbo bearings failed. Tow from the middle of no where to Perth = $4000 nice. Ended up being a blocked turbo filter. Wouldnt have expected that at 3500Ks. Those filters sure bring heart ache to a lot of turbo owners.

Bigger mate!

Trying something a litte different, this turbo that I'm going to use sits bewteen a GT3450 and a T04Z and we believe it has the potential to get us over 450+ rwkws!

It also uses a billet wheel and a .70 front cover.
