No tissue can soothe the hurt in my heart...

Boss was happy I was OK so I didn't get my butt kicked so that was a good outcome :)

Glad you didn't get your butt kicked. The big question now is........ will she still let you come out and play with us?

What happened?

Driving fast on bumpy roads with 4 yr old worn tyres.

She took the 1st (relatively sedate) run ok but the 2nd (more aggresive) run she started to understeer more and more with each corner. I chose to maintain my pace and understeered off the road and nearly plunged into a creek. Over corrected to avoid the creek and spun onto a gravel patch (luckily not a tree). The impact of hitting the gravel ripped my front lip off :(

Have done that road numerous times and have always driven within my limits. The one time I choose to be a noob and ignore the feedback the car was giving me, this happens...

I make no excuses for my lack of professional driving skills but I think a true pro would have chosen to not drive the car at that pace in the first place.

Glad you didn't get your butt kicked. The big question now is........ will she still let you come out and play with us?

Yea she's OK with you guys. Her wish is that we perhaps tone it down a little.

Maybe now she'll let me spend a bit more for happy laps :P

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
