Pushed the boost to 12 last night. Was so damn awesome but hit boost cut in 3rd. Amazing what a couple of PSI can do. Now makes me even more keen to rip the stock ecu out throw in the microtech and go up to 15. I'm starting to think if this had the same hp as the clubby it would be all kinds of fun to drive. I don't think many new cars can match the feeling you get from this. It's small, quick enough and handles nicely to..

Picked up a set of stock wheels for 20 bucks. Bargain considering the wreckers wanted 250.

I wish I had boost :p
Can't complain for $20
Should take it down the 1/4 mile

The 1/4 is where things get broken :p Won't be seeing the quarter till at least the LSD is in. Trying to find a spare gearbox is nigh on impossible.

Would be nice to see how it goes with 15 on the 1/4 mile though

Yeah I know. LSD first though. If I continue with this car though I will probably have to find another complete car just purely for the motor and box if/when I blow the current one up.

Oh yeah got an LED thing for the centre light from a customer the other day. Get in at night and your blinded. Now the door lights look crap in comparison though.

The 15psi on a stock old motor is more likely to break something rather then the strip.

These motors aren't as weak as you may think. There's plenty of people running 250+ on unopened motors with 250k+ kms. The weak part is the spider gears. Fix that and your fine assuming you have a decent tuner. Motors are easy enough to come by. Manual gearboxes not so much.

Edit:

Dem doesn't agree I should put semi slicks on the stockies. Boooo.
