Think I'm going to have to give PI a miss. Gotta clear a defect, and try get bigger brakes and a rear strut brace in time. Spewing :laugh:

Should be right for Sandown though :D Lucky I'm doing DT otherwise I'm in modified class :D

That's a shame, saw your car at Protek today...

What brakes you upgrading to??

Haha, it's there to get the car ready for a RWC so I can clear a canary.

Most likely get R33 GTS-t rotors and calipers up front, and see how that goes. Hopefully I don't get too much front brake bias. Be good going from single piston to four :D

If my car isn't ready, I'm definately down there to watch anyway :laugh:

haha I already packin' some spares :wub:

The car already has 242rwkw's, just don't use it on the track, so I don't think the jump in power will feel that great to me. My old RX7 was faster I reckon, and a hell of a lot scarier!! :happy:

Want to run around 1.3-1.4bar, but we'll see how it goes. It's a high comp motor (9:1), so we'll see how it reacts. Coils are stock for now.

It's already breaking down a bit at 1.4bar, but we'll give them a clean and see how they go, if not I'll order in some splitfires. I might also put a map in for 100 octane and see how it goes on that.

My other cam gear and timing chain just arrived from japan, so we're set!

Shane: You shouldn't have too big of an issue man. I run S14/32 brakes up front with single pot rears and I don't have an issue. just match your pads well. Once my rear pads went it was REALLY tail happy under brakes, so the rear pads are really important!

RS500: PI can't be your first track day unless you do DT I think.

Troy: It'll be good to see how far the old jigger will go man. I'd be interested to see with my engine too, but I'd rather pull it out and sell it while it's still in good health, and I need a few other leaks, cracked manifold and stuff fixed up at the same time, hence my decision to do it early.

Same turbo for now Troy, but we'll see how it goes. My guess is that it's going to be the limiting factor in what power I produce, but I like the setup so I'm keen to push it as far as I can.

Because it's a high comp setup, I'm hoping the turbo will cope well enough with the boost I plan on running, but we'll see, it's not particularly big...

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
