One thing i am happy to report is that the Tow Rig was awesome! This was the first chance we had to test it out... We were worried the 35s may cause an issue and a few other things but it was faultless, we hooked up the hire trailer which looks like crap but tows amazing, was SO easy to load and unload too being a tilt trailer, basically drove out of the driveway and pulled the car around town to check it out, was really good... Plenty of torque and nice and stable, only time it felt a bit sketchy was hitting standing water on the highway when it was pissing down rain but even then i dropped back to 90 and it was stable az.....

The cruiser wasnt just the tow rig on the track day, i ended up getting stuck with double duties and had to be the recovery vehicle as well... Not ideal when you are trying to enjoy a track day but what can you do, at least the first lap on the track was in a turbo vehicle lol -

Oh and another interesting thing, i had been complaining about traction issues.... The wheel alignment showed i had 2.2 deg neg camber in the rear so we dialled that out and it was MUCH better... You can see the rear wheels standing upright now! Amazing what a difference it made!

Looking good bro!

Why did the cruiser have to double as a recovery vehicle?

Not sure, SMSP didnt want to use the fire truck as a recovery vehicle i guess which is odd as it had the 2 tow straps already fitted too it :/ anyway, no big deal... Just know to plan ahead for the next one so i dont have to do it! In saying that it went out on track twice as the guys were all really well behaved and mostly recovered themselves!

    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
