hey mate that some nice hp u have there :smokingn a stock motor hows it handeling it ?wata sleeper faaarrrkin awsome work mate.................................>>>>

Thanks dude The stock motor and trans are liking it so far lmao. When I get the built trans installed, I will push the boost much further on the stock engine and see what I can extract from it then

I went to Mallala for the Mallanats and entered for a laugh. I got in the finals of powerskid which wasnt a bad effort. You were not allowed to stall it off the line so I was up against drag cars with big stalls and manuals lol. My car has the stock trans, stock stall etc so I had a major disadvantage. I just had to smash it off the line and when boost came on I put it in 3rd at 7 grand for the whole length of the straight. What fun it was! Here is a pic. I am waiting for a vid to be posted which I will post a link to soon.

Awesome work Shane. How did the Turbo kit hold up?

Cheers Nick. The car and kit have never missed a beat mate. I drove the car there and gave her a hiding, zero issues on the day. I changed the trans fluid for the first time the night before after owning it for 30,000kms. Thought it best to change it finally lmao

I finally got the video posted of the powerskid, here is a link. I have to back off early on the skids due to running out of road but damn it was the most fun I have ever had in a car.
