Sometimes I drive the Lude around when the line is flashing, but now days my sis drives it since Ive got an upgrade haha. Also take out parents piece of crap Ford now and then, dunno if its just that car or all Fords but something new seems to break nearly every time I drive it dodgy.

My soon to be daily is also my street car. 1971 Datsun 1600. You think corollas are tough? My car is strong like a mini 1JZ..

No this isn't bollocks, cause they rarely see over 120rwhp and it only has to push 890kg or so.

Top speed runs in my car (private land) have generated 120MPH (200 km/h)

in 4th gear, and it's a 5 speed. It also gets to speed like a greyhound on steroids. Whatever that speed may be. It's good on fuel if you granny it, otherwise being a worked race-spec engine, it chews up BP Ultimate (only juice it takes) crazily. I think $18.50 lasted me 20 minutes one time.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
