Im really sorry for the crap the set up has given you :facepalm:
Power figures of 520Fkw were achieved with that setup before i bought it so its strong is a understatment :wink:
I think there are still a video some where when this S13 beat a 1000cc Honda fireblade from a rolling start to top end. :wink:

no no no no no.. i bought the engine from Shane, after his car caught fire due to a faulty battery charger.. engine seemed fine, but there was LOTS of hidden damage... which has taken the best part of two years to fix.

I kind of got the car sorted, then hired it to Shane Lynch to drive in the Top Gear show, he crashed it, and the intermittent misfire came back - hence the new injectors.. and remap.

So to do:

Dyno (Again)
Go to Greensky for Panel Beating, new Kouki Lights and a new wrap..... any suggestions on colour? im thinking gloss wet black.

OK, got it back from Action RaceBoys who are looking after her now mechanically.. its boosting 0.7 now, still pulls into a drift in 2nd at boost :lol: :lol: :lol:

So whats been done since it was crashed:

Cleaned up wiring even more
Install a Battery cut off and push start
Mounted Dictator
New Dephi Low Impedance 1000cc Injectors
Second Pump
Surge Tank
Etc

Damage not too terrible.. putting the proper duckbill spoiler next.. dont know why i wasnt fitted?!

Also,

cutting the arches out as this hasnt been done and braising them
refit Bunny arches
Paint interior
Add a front hoop and door bar to the cage
Maybe connect water meth..?

Gonna get new lights, and fix damage once ive enjoyed her for a bit.

Car is going in for panel beating of the rear next week :D Rear lights have been ordered, interior getting painted silver, carbon door cards will be installed as well. Gloss black wrap with Rocket Bunny logos will be the new look (as the car a few pages back).

CANT WAIT!

Took it to Zwartkops for Supadrift practice, she performed faultlessly the whole afternoon! yay!
