Well, yes and no...this little RB Neo in my car is just awesome at the moment..0.7 bar boost low, 1.5 high..

Serious traction problems out rear that with a few tweaks , had improved. I have a lot to do out rear, running drift suspension does not automatically a track car make..!

I have all these plans and ideas but seeing as my yearly trip to the coast is looming I will do the ecu system and call it quits until I'm back. I also really want to fit my Porsche brakes before ..
Ill see.

If there`s one thing in life that seriously fcuks me off big time its the crap out of china !!!!!

I bought two hydraulic fitting yesterday for the oil cooler from Edenglen Hydraulics. I looked at the barb section and queried the clamping ability with the stupid salesman.

Its fine I'm told. I was skeptic but took them anyhow. BIG fcukin mistake !

On the way to work this morning hose pushed off and pumped 5 liters of brand new edge onto the ground.
Fixed it , filled with a new can and carried on. 8 km later the same bloody thing.
This time I caught it very quick and saved some oil in the sump as I had no fill. Redid the pipe and kept the revs real low so the pressure would not go higher than 4 bar .

Made it to wok but twice in the early morning.

Fcuk chinese sh*t !!!!!!!!!!

Some updates ...

Sorted the holes in the bootlid and fitted the spare front bumper - all nice and sprayed.
Painted the carbon boot spoiler I had and fitted that as well. Really looked good so i have left it on..Will paint the second, slightly different one as well and see what that looks like a bit later on.

Once again I have not updated anything here for some time. Latest was that a chap had stopped me a week ago and asked if I would sell....Well, he came round last night for a second look . I took him for a spirited ride. He wants my car .

What this does is leave me with a bit a of a dilemma . Do I then go R33 import ? I don`t know if I want to go that route. Does not handle like a well set up S14, limited to the engine choice if you really think about it..Cannot very well stick the Lexus into it now , can we ? Maintenance will be a problem when things go wrong. Its an old car already..

The S14 lends it self to engine, gearbox and diff swaps at will..


Mmmmm, will get asking price for her if she goes...decisions, decisions.....
