Wow, its been a few months since Ive been on SAU. I had to read the last few pages to work out what I have actually done with this car
the drift vid above was the last outing for 2013. i put it in the shed and didn't look at it until a few weeks ago. ive had a mate Sam come and repair both rear quarters for me. then he brought an even better sam with him, Sams mate Sam to paint it for me this all happened fairly fast. the car has under gone a fairly big change cosmetically and its not quite complete so the photos vary a bit as parts have been added.
the list of parts and new year mods are.....
New turbo compressor housing and intercooler piping change = retune and cam timing adjustment to net approx. 350rwkw.
oil cooler finally installed
rear defuser remade
brought origin wing finally
got gtr n1 lip to go with origin wing
changed driver seat to velo seat from old targa car
fitted dba 4000 rotors front, Project mu club racer pads front and endless pads rear. braided brake lines all round (belive it or not ive ran stock brake lines for 5 years)
above pads and rotors fixed some of my braking issues but i also adjusted brake master cylinder to fix other issues
re mounted front sway bar properly as id been running no front bar for 12months
brought CF headlight duct and canards (arrived this week)
Got gtr front bar ready for canards
repaired body work and painted car
added side skirts
ive done 2 events sofar for 2014. 1 club day where i bettered my pb buy 0.1sec. and a 7km hill climb, by far the best event ive ever driven keen to do more hill climbing.
