Thanks for looking IMG]http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa249/ian437/DSC03143.jpg[/IMG] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

new brakes on. and new turbo. seems to go alot better now on 6psi then it did on 8-9psi with old turbo and it can acually stop just need to get a 1inch master for the pedal feel. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice job, good to see your doing the important things first

looks good dude should invest in some new leads, they look to be the factory ones

thanks guys. Yeah them leads did sh*t themselves so i got some ngk leads and plugs made the car run alot better.

update: Dual stage boost controller fitted. Running 7psi and 10psi no pinging at all. Nice difference. Will have to chuck on dyno to check mixtures to make sure. Hope to be going in for a mandrel 3inch turbo back. upgrade from the 2.5"

Good progress mate. I used to have a beige/cream VLT except my extrior was farked.

Hey guys just abit of a update. Been going fairly well in the cooler winter weather up here on 10psi. Been putting off nistune for a while but Had an injector start leaking so Ive gone with nistune and a set of gtr injectors bigger fuel pump to come aswell. Car runs fairly well with the injectors in but needs a tune. Not on as much money as ive just started my electrician apprenticeship not long ago so slow progress for a while.

bit of an update. 3inch mandrel exhaust turbo back (std dump). Put the battery in boot just for cleaner bay look etc still need to remove battery tray. Just gotta saught out a fuel pump and get it tuned propley. Getting from rear of front gaurds to back of car painted sills to roof and some rust in the boot done in a couple weeks so should all look one colour and respectable. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got a mx7 and new exedy sports tuff heavy duty clutch in but pulled back out due to being noisy seems like layshaft bearings. should be ready in a couple days. Picked up a few calais interior bits. including sunglass holder door trims glove box, kick panels, sun visors and rear seat that i may use in it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cleaned up rear trims/seat and put in still have to do fronts. Fitted an 044 also. Just waiting on tuner now.. Ian

All calais Interior bits in. Front-rear door trims. Sun visors, C pillar? inside trims. rear seat. Gearbox seems good now after new bearings. Got sides painted and rust in boot done. Have 28spline lsd waiting to go in and have a vipec plugin ecu on its way than it will be tuned. Hoping to make around 200rwrkw... Ian

Ditched the plug in idea incase i want to sell car can put std harness in it and keep my ecu. Just finished wiring in a Vi-pec v88 my self pretty happy with how it came out full new harness none of old one left in. Took it for a quick drive, drives alright considering its just got settings to start it. Also got diff in.. its a single spinner soo waiting on lsd center. Also fixed pin hole in fuel tank and new intank pump while i was their.. (044 nice and quite now) Hoping for a tune in a week or so. Than save for bigger injectors and 35/40. Cheers Ian

Just minispool the 28spline centre man, even the LSD's arn't that fantastic.

Yeahh not sure after doing all this... If i want to get rid of it for something newer/comfier like a r33.. After borrowing brother in laws for a few weeks.

Might aswell keep it for now.. Lol. Alright so made up a new intake for it (silicon bend off std metal elbow and some fairly thick walled alloy pipe i polished up). Came out good i thaught.. And tune this week if they can fit me in. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Went for a tune today. Made 242rwhp or 182rwkw on around 10-11 psi. Not sure why they didnt push for more as they were shut when i picked car up. I would like to crack 200rwkw with this turbo if I can but we will see. Thats with std dump so thinking i might get a 3inch dump and get them to try for a bit more out of it if it will take it. Has a bad dead spot down low so its gotta go back anyway. Ian

Picked this up for it today. gt35 .82 internal gate. Not sure if i will high or low mount yet.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Drove down to townsville drag strip to have a run (6-700km round trip). First time at drags best i could manage from 7 runs was a 14.4@96mph with a 2.39 60ft. Best mph was 99. That was my best 60ft all others were 2.4+.. Couldnt put the power down at all with the 205s lol.. Only dramas i seemd to have was a leaking clutch master.. Ian
