Ah yeah, sweet as,
Like you said but, it doesnt matter how much 'power' it has, its more so how fun it is to drive, how it looks and how it sounds!!

That'd be a decent amount, anywhere around there would make it a good fun car to drive.. Weighing next to nothing, (compaired to the newer overweight gurls) That in itself should be fun to keep it driving sideways up the road!! lol,. jst jokes - I don't think you'd want to do much of that after this long of a build..?

It's not high compression is it?

On my new motor, stock internals, 3" turbo back, hiflow t03, rajab inlet and cooler, 6-7psi I got 130rwkw apparently.

It's loosened up a heap now and the old clutch didn't like it much, so I'm due to go back. But I was hoping 10-15psi and get myself up towards 200rwkw as well, push the limits of the standard injectors I guess.

I'm guessing that's your plan as well?

This thread needs more pictures and less talk :p

Ahh so it is high comp, I couldn't remember and was too slack to re-read threads, you should get some good power out of it, my maroon one was great fun to drive when it was high comp/turbo, kind of miss how pokey they are.

So you got it all back together?! Now it just needs a dumper tip to finish the back end off? yeh?

Did you get the Reo painted aswell? Front together? lol - one thing at a time eyy
