What have you done to your car today?

Started welding up the rear arches.

Looked into a new engine for later down the line. Engines are getting cheaper im sure of it or more people and just crashing cars and there are more parts available

As Dave will attest I attempted to set fire to it and have consequently f**cked it up bad,bad day

Looks great! Are you planning on staying wingless?

For now, yes. Im kinda liking being able to see out the back window...

Also swapped over the locks form my old boot to the new one so I can actually open it with a key now. Only other issue with the boot is without the wing it springs up so fast when you realse the catch if youre not careful itll take your face off.

Cleaned boost solenoid and then checked my muffler:

Oh bugger.

Clicked over 220,000km... Mwahhaha

dude! lol gonna get the adrenalinR?

Noticed identical front swaybar bushes on a Legacy while at Pickapart this wkend so pulled them off and bought the brackets / bushes for $9! Bushes are mint! AT least now I know what model to order (for next time...)!

Got to love Pickapart!

Picked up and installed an old HKS EVC 3 electronic boost controller and fitted it with the help of GC82GO. Running 12 instead of 7 psi now Yeah!

My STI's

Cleaned my alloys with a tooth brush, still couldnt get them clean, will need to jack up the car and remove the wheels

I had a little fun on the dyno this morning

What turbo?

As far i know, raijin is running the Blouch 1.5xtr on a built 2.1l

Pulls look to be in 3rd gear because that's making alot more kw & torque then my 2.5xtr. Also noticed they are uncorrected figure on dyno plot??

Hi it's nothing too hairy given it is also a road car. It's a Blouch 2.5XTR on a built 2.35 CDB with V8 Sti heads and standard cams with v mount intercooler/rad set up and a splash of meth in the fuel. Operator was using STP for correction. These are 4th gear runs. IAT and ECT are handled nicely by the vmount

Install a new left rear axle after i snapped my last one into 4 pieces on sunday

Thanks for sharing info on your setup man. Ahh meth, the good stuff

No worries - indeed 10% meth added directly into the tank (assuming the fuel pipework and FPR has been selected for meth resistance as is the case here) adds huge potential for extra ignition advance. I prefer this approach over the extra hassle, weight and failure risk of a meth/water injection system

how does it go with normal pump fuel no meth?
