also, bought car with cooked motor, you just did a mohsen.

seriously now.

do LS TT

no... buying a car with a blown motor would only be a mohsen if the motor blew on the drive home

Still deciding, it will really depend what comes up. If a built 26 pops up, I'll consider that for a cheap and risky way out. Otherwise, budget may allow for RacePace to rape my wallet.

Was making 340awkw with the HKS turbos before engine issues (it's actually still quite driveable and the engine idles smoothly besides the sound, so don't know how far gone it is), which sounds plenty for me in a street car. I'd like to put it on sugar cane for response, though.

On the cosmetic side of things

This was a very nice 33R at Sandown on the weekend

Thanks gents

It's gotta get to Melbourne first and that was an absolute nightmare organising transport on the day I was supposed to be flying back :O

Transporter knocked it back cause needed 15cm ground clearance so I had to remove the front lip and leave it in ACT...no biggie as it was damaged anyway. Took off the brake ducts too but they are with me.

Chuck a thicker oil and she'll be right moite.

I've done my share of interstate car towing...prolly would have if I still had access to a race car trailer and time wasn't an issue.

$400 depot to door from Canberra, pretty happy with that.

    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
    • I could see someone trying this to save money on oil changes.
