    Finally got round to making a build thread,

    I initally bought a pretty stock UK touring in green in 2011, coming from a saxo this was a big jump which i certainly do not regret.

    It was fairly stock when i bought it with the few following modifications

    Greddy FMIC
    MBC
    3 inch exhaust
    Boost guage
    Dump valve

    Running 0.8 bar when i got the car was around 270-280 bhp id suspect.


    First purchase about a week after buying the car was apex gen 2 fast road coilovers.. this pretty much started the bug of buying and spending a crap load on this car.

    giving the worst offset ever! :D

    clutch was starting to get high thus it was time for a exedy organic which was on offer at the time.

    Next up was a boost controller and management

    Took it on my first track day and it performed fairly well, wasnt going 100% as daily driver and i didnt fancy wreaking it.

    can definately brake later and use more of the track without a doubt, 4th was crunching into gear under fast shifts so was being easy on it


    Been to crail a fair few times aswell


    14.2 with passanger but should definately be into the 13s, its all in the launch
    got into the semi finals for rwd for the last 2 years, had to pull out with gearbox issues but there fixed and im ready to try again this year.

    running against a friends forged mr2 which normally wins it each year, ill hope for rain :)
