No your right mate. It could've been the diff. But it is a standard diff. Suppose i could always try and find an auto diff to chuck in.

I ment what DTA management do you have, they do different models.

I recon you`d be better off sticking with the ratios you have and just driving it. Will be better for the bigger tracks and allow you to snatch 3rd later. No point building a car for pussy second gear courses. Also if the car has 300ish bhp then its not underpowered at all, maybe use different tyres if your struggling. And you should defo swap your mapper, no question.

Yeah good suggestion. I've been recommended to use Steve Saddler. So i think i'll give him a shout. I'll check the model DTA and post it up.

Right complete change of plan thanks to Bizzle for putting me on a massive downer on how shit the actual work is that the garage has done. O and the look on Matt Carters face when he saw it. LMAO.

Cheers to POLO for sorting me out with a gasket on the turbo. So much better now.

From Polo's. Looks like the DTA is going to be ripped out when i get a little dolla saved up and going back to scratch to try and get this setup correctly.

Mine does a speedo indicated 75ish in 2nd mate and was totally boggo standard when I bought it so you'll just be running standard ratio's, looked good at silverstone, had the same problem as bogging in that centre bit and having to drop to 1st though, what tyre pressures were you running?

40psi on the rears mate and only with diddly 205's on. But after chatting with a few peeps today they said i'm losing so much low down power due to the DTA management. So that needs to get ripped out.

Really sorry dude,
Didn't mean to put you on a downer but it is possibly the single worst built S14 engine bay i have ever seen by a very long way. The work that was done by a certain "unnamable garage" was less than substandard and in areas downright dangerious. The guys that built it should be taken out into a yard and shot.

Im so angry for you mate. You have been c.u.n.t.e.d. off big time



EDIT:
BUT, we will sort it No worries!

Sorry i'm not that Technical.

O and after alot of thought. The WING is going. Not sure if it's going to be replaced with a Bigger and Wider one or just leave it off.

NO, keep the WING we need some where flat-ish on the car to rest the beer when working on it, Dan will agree!
