Its making about 300kw atm but it should be making more.... gonna change a few things, turn the boost up and hopefully get some more killerwasps.

Fkn love EC, cant wait to get out there again. Hopefully it isnt too long till they sort all this crap out and we can get out there again.

Ohh and since the last update I have also added a set of BC BR coilovers and some DBA Club spec slotted rotors and project mu pads. Makes a world of difference.

Also just ordered a set of Bride Vios III seats and rails which should be here anyday. Now all thats left for me is to put a cage in, swaybars, get more steering lock and then do some cosmetics.

Im thinking of doing a 34 GTR front end conversion and 33 GTR rear overfenders.

Yeah I thought they looked weird as well when I put them in but then I sat in them and they are perfect. The rails were made to sit the seats as low as possible...both the front and back of them are as low as you can get them before hitting the floor.. and it still feels a bit high. I've got clearance for my head with a helmet but I think I'm gonna struggle to fit the front legs on the cage and still have room for my head.

not much to update really.... went drifting on the weekend in 36 degree heat... had to do a cooldown lap every few laps to stop it overheating.

Was having a few dramas with the power steering overheating as well.

That said I was one of the few cars that was still drivable untill the end of the day.

Next few things to do are:

- Subframe mods (Solid flush bushes to raise it and welded reinforcements to make it stronger)

- Power steering cooler.

- Soon ill have to start the dreaded job of sound deadening removal in preparation for the cage.

Ill keep you guys updated as things happen...

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me

      Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.

      Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
