I would have loved a BW turbo & full race manifold too.. but when both items cost as much as your car x2.. it's a stupid investment lol

This logic is not logical...how is anything that makes your car faster a stupid investment :rolleyes:

So I spoke to my fabricator and he thinks this is an awesome idea...I mean sure i could just buy an aftermarket manifold, and a cheap turbo and gate option and build the same car every body else does....but wheres the fun and discovery in that.....

need to start saving my pennies ;)

$2057 + $1978 + postage = $2,000??

He said half of what its worth :)

The price went down now anyway, it now sports broken sway links lol

You have another fabricator I assume Dave? I don't remember that conversation. lol. I'm sure I could sort out something Artz worthy though. :P

The stainless body Xspurt 1400's are released now, do you want me to buy you a set mate? You can't be driving around on petrol still...

ohh fekkkkkkkkkking shit box.. I wanna burn it (if only it had full comprehensive insurance)

LOL FYI your sway links are no worse a design than an S chassis and an S14 has a 27mm front sway from stock.

Just bad luck IMHO :)

I'll fix that, then something else will break.. like my wideband, it's completely dead now. I bought a new sensor and it still showing HTR...

I give up, I want a C63 AMG lol

lol welcome to the hobby.

Buying C63 = giving up. You're not a quitter are you ;) ?

nooooo just lazy.. bought a new fan clutch, turns out the farking thing was seized.. ended up bending more fins on the radiator to remove the fan (again) - didn't want to dump my radiator fluid and take out the radiatro just to remove the fan

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
