Besides the blacked out lights, I don't see that much looks-wise difference between an 8MR and 8GSR...

Not to mention as over-done as some might say it is, 9 rear bar definitely ftw. Front bar I'm a fan of the 8 nose chop, else probably prefer the 9 front to the 8 yet again.


Although the standard lights are pretty ugly haha, definitely on the to-do list... *looks at Aaron*

Haha, yeah, Gunmetal Grey is baws. Mate's is that colour, tis hawt. I also like the Blue the 9's came in - more metallic than any of the other colours.

I would've probably gone Yellow given any choice, though :P.

Re 'eternal battle': As a daily, I can not refute my CT9A choice. Some CP9A's do look the goods though! And yeah, like I said, I'll probably go down the nose-chop route... just not very high priority :P

272rwkw @ 16psi on United 85

RacePace "high flow" cat gave me another 10rwkw. So yeah, top end a little disappointing...prolly the small turbo maxing out...along with internal wastegate and a myriad of other "stock" looking restrictions...but the low and mid range are significantly better. I have near stock response with about 130rwkw more than stock. Car sounds beast and the exhaust smell is <3

Happy camper. Will upload graph when I get home :)

More boost was giving nothing more, so Chris scaled it back to the highest boost that made a worthwhile difference. Another factor that makes me think the turbo was struggling. Nice and safe for my engine at least.

What was it on 98? ~250? That's not a bad power hike

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
