Will get some better pics up when its back and running. Its a good thing. AP 6pots, Harvey Gibbs Race engine (420hp), Konis, Pectel ECU, councours level detailing to underside of car with everything body colour of poweder coated black etc. Best thing is I did 320kms today and it has only used half a tank...so teh Pectel ECU with being tuned on an engine dyno vs rolling road seems to mean it is a goos tune for power, economy and reliability. Which at AUD$2.50/L for 98 then I am glad its pretty economic :)

niiiice it looks like one of those club chicks that you can tell are kinda fugly without all the makeup and short skirt but their just so damn dirty you find yourself staring and thinking bad thoughts

seriously though great buy, looks tits and I bet it goes like stink... did it pee itself? just a loose hose or something minor?

Think I'll be doing either Spa or the Burgerring next year too, maybe we'll cross paths...

well talk to me phunky. I'm keen to go back and if I miss doing it with bris again I'm always happy to replace him for a new team mate. the only thing is you might have trouble squeezing into an exige but there is plenty of other good gear out there to drive!

I was thinking about this a few days back actually (you often cross my mind while I'm in bed...). I was going to ask if I would get into an Exige, as I'd always assumed I wouldn't. Have you been in a Caterham before?

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
