Just a wee bit lol when you taking delivery matey?
just waiting for the ecu back off syvecs then Jase will run the engine in. after that im going up for full mapping day and driving it home. hopefuuly couple of weeks tops
The mapping was finished off on the car today. The car made 400/445 at 1.4 bar but wouldn't make anything else.. should run 1.7 all day long no problems so ahead jase went looking fir obvious things, boost leaks etc.. then I got hold of Simon from chevron, turns out my turbo is best suited to a 2.0 or 2.1 engine. Not a 2.35 he has told me that the exhaust housing in the turbo is to small so that's why on a 2.35 it won't make the power and on a 71 mm wheel when it would be better on a 73mm wheel. Car km told spools crazy! Looking forward to picking it up tomorrow. Not the power I wanted but hey.. its fixed and I can look later in the year of adding a bigger turbo.

You'll forget about the numbers once your driving it mate, good luck hope everything goes to plan.
Plans for it over next few weeks is get the race tech dash properly programmed have no speedo, fuel gauge or gauges atm.
And get a full Geo set up done with corner weighting
Picked the car up this morning and fell back in love with the car after 10 minutes of driving.. absolutely love it again. Not stupid fast but I don't care at this moment just happy to have it back. Met my best mate with his JDM blob soon as I got back
Congratulations mate. Glad it's finally back and working, what a journey! Looks the nuts too now. Love that bonnet! Needs a front splitter IMO to finish it off. Top job!

Now enjoy it!
Yeah mate 100% needs a splitter want a time attack style on on it.
Not really much to update. I have been going out in the car when I get chance and enjoying it. Been that busy at work not had much chance.. but the big plan next is rotated EFR
