Thanks Matty

After competing in Eurodrift for the 1st time on Saturday I just can't get over how good this car is!! I treated it to some brand new budget tyres (Achilles) 215/45/17's and managed to qualify 5th in Pro, being placed higher than a fair few EDC drivers

Next job to do is loose the slight neg camber i have on the back as traction in the wet up teesside's hill was a slight issue LOL!!

Anyway, here is my new fave pic of the taxi in action from Rnd 4 (thanks Ross).......





I'm also loving these aswell.....






Here's hoping i can afford Rnd 5!

Rich

Spec is roughly.... frick all.

cage, budget tein coilovers, steering lock washers, stripped, single bucket, 4 point harness, FMIC, cone filter, turbo back exhaust, wasted spark kit that missfires due to shit wiring.

Welded diff.

I don't think I missed anything. Very basic but does the job in the right hands.

Not a prob fella, basically Mikey and Gaz have done the spec, but to confirm it's.......


Engine/performance.......

Wasted spark kit
Apexi cone filter
FMIC with made up pipes to fit (2nd hand)
Japspeed turbo elbow/downpipe 3"
Decat 3"
Cat back Jasma 3" exhaust (2nd hand)
Welded diff (4.1)


Chassis.....

Tein HR coilovers (2nd hand)
Cusco strut brace on front (2nd hand)
S14 front lower arms
Fabricage 7 point cage


Interior.....

Cobra Monaco S
Willans 4 point harnesses
3/4 stripped


Body.......

GTR front bumper
Rolled rear arches
Rolled and flared front arches
Despoilered



Its still running stock boost, completely stock engine, its still even limited to 112mph hahaha!

I dont have any plans for massive bhp, mainly because the car dosent need much more, ideally id like it to have a bit more torque so in the near future i may up the boost a little and do minor tweaks.

Next thing on the list is to sort out the rear camber as it has too much, increase the lock as its beginning to frick me off and sort out some new poly bushes for most of the suspension/steering as there are one or two little knocks starting to appear LOL!

All i can say is i still cant believe how little this car owes me, but i still wouldnt sell it!
