Most of you may recognise this car, it's the ex MAVRCK which was owned by ATMO BT1 (Jack). I purchased the car off him early last year and thought I would keep you all up to date with how the car is going. The complete build up of the car can be found here: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...ighlight=jacks (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=108204&highlight=jacks) Since owning the car I have done a few modifications. Engine/Driveline Mods, Not much has been changed here. The car did have an r33 5 speed gearbox with a twin plate excedy clutch, I had this replaced with a KEAS 350kw 4 speed Jatco, 3200 stall with a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter. It is currently waiting to be tuned with the new auto, when this shall be done it will see around the 20psi mark. Future modifications will include a 6Boost manifold with a T04z, aftermarket fuel rail, undercar surge tank and bigger injctors then it will be tuned on 22psi. Body/Interior Mods, The interior hasn't really been changed appart from the B&M Pro Ratchet shifter and 4 point roll cage. It will be sent to the panel beaters in the coming months for some paint touch up's and to get the guards rolled. Future mods will include full custom grey interior and boot setup. I'll keep you all updated with the coming mods. Hope you all enjoy Cheers, Jacko Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bit of an update. Car got tuned yesterday and made 264.7kw on 20psi through the auto, before it went on the dyno we changed the 984 fuel pump to a 044 just to be on the safe side and also changed the .82 rear housing on the turbo to a 1.06 rear. Was pretty happy with this effort. Will be looking into a new stall as the one in there now was slipping a bit which was making it loose a bit of power and to account for the bigger rear housing.

Had a bit of a run at the drags last night. Best run was 12.8 at 115mph with 2.41 60footer on 19inch street tyres. Only had 2 runs cause traction was a problem and I need a new stall. Slicks are on the to do list now.

Added a few little things to the car over the last few months. Intsalled a new overflow bottle, new Garrett turbo beanie, new strut tower covers and new Turbosmart fuel regulator as the old malpassi sh*t itself. A surge tank and lift pump will be put into the boot in the coming days aswell. Here's a few pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
