looks fabulous.

I do like the 'lighter, floating' look those wheels give to the car.

Is that sunshine in your pics? We've not seen the sun since last March!

Ever had it on a dyno or drag strip?

[Bludnut]

Hey Ramon,
Not had the car on the drag strip but I'm told similar setups have been timed in the high 12's.
It was dynoed the week before xmas at 210bhp at the rear wheels.
I've had it at Waneroo Park motor racing circuit in WA for a track day and it was keeping up with my mates M3 BMW and an STI Subaru and my boss's 924 Porsche.
As an everyday runner I'm happy with the way it is.
Might enter it in whoop ass Wednesday night drags this season down at Kwinana drag racing strip south of Perth just to see how it goes.
Have you had yours on the strip? Sounds like yours is similar.
Cheers

Not done any quarter since I got it working, then I made it not work again (dropped a rotor) but I will need more grip when I get it back together. Running 10 psi it felt easy high 12s so prob similar power to yours. I got bigger turbo and more fuel so should go alright once I wind the boost up.

LSD to go in, wider rear wheels and tyres, polybush rear will go a long way to helping!

LSD to come back out again too shortly after dumping the clutch on the line too maybe.

Be interesting to see how it holds up.
