    Thanks Clive need to get as many days in as I can before I leave the country. Will get some outdoor videos from the above days. 9th nov at pod was just to familiarise myself with the car and get used to drifting again.

    Flocked dash is getting fitted tomorrow thanks to Shaan at Drift Street Imports

    Hi mate.

    What's the spec of the turbo.

    Is it a Garrett GT3076 or 3071?

    And is the exhaust a/r 0.63 or 0.82?

    Cheers

    Turbo is a GT3071 and i beleive ther exhaust side is 0.63 but i can double check.

    Had lots of issues with the breather system not being able to cope with engine pressurizing and spitting oil from the rocker cover. Julian Smith @ Garage-D managed to sort the issue with a temporary fix until we can amend the titanium catch can.

    Had an amazing day at Santa Pod today as well, the car ran like a dream and im learning more and more about its limits.

    If you could check the spec of the turbo that would be great. I've got the same turbo and was considering changing the exhaust housing for a 0.82 but if the 0.63 can make that kind of power I think I'll leave well alone

    Sure thing will do next time im with the car.

    So i managed to get 1 video on my Go Pro before the memory card stopped working. I'm still learning the car and its limits so i was testing just how much lock i could get before it slowed right down. Dont judge the driving its been almost 3 years :)

    haha it made me dizzy in the car, the lock is insane, the transition is a bit to slow for me so may look at switching back to the standard rack to allow the electric power steering to do its job.

    so i managed to survive Lydden Hill. Loved every minute of it and only really had 1 bad session when the tyres i was running were just rubbing everywhere. The power delivery is insane the lock is amazing and this car is so much fun:-

    I also managed to have my Go Pto fall off at Lydden, it was then crushed by another car so all my footage is lost :(
