I bought this car back in March 2007 from a place in Edmonton.
This is how the car stood for when I first saw her:
After a lot of bargaining and hassling as I was trading a car in I got the following thrown in.
Tein Coilovers
Apexi induction kit
From what I have been told “Works” alloys
Boost gauge
Some crappy seats
This is what she looked like when I picked her up
(I got the dump valve cheap of a friend. Its very loud. Looking to put it some where else in the future)
After a couple of weeks I was getting embarrassed of the seats, so they had to go! On eBay they went and on eBay I went for some new ones!
And I found…..
I thought id go to a rolling road, and see the current out –put of my car which was a nice 135bhp 134 f/lb-t from the place I got it rolling roaded “Track And Road” I got given a number on someone who mods jap cars etc. gave him a call, told him my budget and what I wanted etc.
I then saved up my pennies and got the following:
HKS EVC 6
HKS f-con is
Apexi Turbo timer (this was off a mate, but got this bloke to fit it for me)
Loom, and other fittings to fit the above
And a Re-map
From the mapping, I got told my clutch is on the way out, and I will need to invest in cooling mods. Like an F.M.I.C or charge cooler. I got plenty of torque but not so much on the bhp. But on the dyno sheet you can see the 1st time went to the dyno.
After lots of fun with the new bit of poke, I was wearing the tyres out more and more. I made the wrong decision on tyre size, but luckily iv pulled it off now I think. I got Eagle F1’s 195/45/15 should of went for 50’s
some random photo’s
then I bought the Auto Bahn88 F.M.I.C, if you want 12hours of agro and having to go out to buy more samco get this!
also got my car lowered aventually!
now have her completely stripped out in the back. From putting the front mount on, that night my clutch went, so now I have to drive around like a 1.3 N/A lol. But have booked the car back in, in 2 weeks to get fuelling mods, de-cat etc and then another re-map to get as much as I can out of this turbo! But im just waiting on him for now I bought my new clutch of dave burwash “thank you” and now im just waiting, and will post up when all Is done!
Thankyou for looking, all comments welcome
And any suggestions you think I should do are also welcome.
