its been on the dyno made 600hp@18psi on BP98 and we put 109 race fuel in it and it made 710hp@23psi then found the muffler to be too restrictive so when i change that before the end of the year we expect it to make close to if not over 800hp@32psi on 109 but car is getting resprayed at the moment so have to wait a bit. also the car will be unveiled at motorvation 2012 with new paint engine and stereo all together

Nice!

Did you prep the paintwork yourself?

Any clue as to what the color is going to be?

cause despite a lot of peoples opinions i like the autech wing and when you look side on at the car the top of the roof rails pick up the line of the top of the wing so if i was to get rid of the roof rails the wing would just be sticking up there in the middle of nowhere so its kind of a looks/lines thing for me thats why i decided to keep them

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
