Ive done a little bit of work on this lately...went to the track 2 weeks ago for its maiden voyage and layed down a 1:23.3 as my best time for the day.

Identified a few areas for improvment on the car, first and foremost the KU36 rubber was not really cutting the mustard...next time im going to step it up again with some federal RSR's, whilst they are still just an Ultra high performance street tyre they should last a few more laps before going off.

Power was the next problem I was having...being pretty much stock power wise my brother in his red evo 5 was walking away from me on the straights...I set about amending this last friday by fitting the dump pipe, front pipe and race cat ive had sitting in my shed

car makes another 3psi of boost and sounds very angry now

next up is a 22psi actuator and aeromotive 340 stealth fuel pump

Then its off to SKR for a tune and hopefully I should see some numbers around the 220-230awkw realm.

I also got my hands on a Varis rear wing and the materials for a splitter and diffuser are on their way from the USA...Ive got no excuses for next time to crack under a 1:20!

I also found some time last weekend to smooth off my rocker cover and paint it with crinkle coat black...came out really well I thought!
