Looks awesome driven over a bump yet

Does racing around a track and running over apexes count?

Actually the front right very slighty rubbed on the screw holding in the inner lining of the front drivers side. I bent it up with my hand (good old ally guards) and she was sweet :)

Would have though there would be epic guard v tyre at the rear

Nah I tested it before I took it out, got 3/4mm clearance to the rolled guards under compression (jacked it up front front corners). Plus add some tyre deflection under cornering would add a few more mm clearance

So had a fairly big week last week with the car, went down to No Limits and broke my lap record for a street car with a 60.19 which is within 1 sec of the best qualifying time the Group-A cars did back when they were racing. Also so close to a 59sec lap which would be a huge barrier for a street car.

Also managed to take out the latest round of the State Speed Event Series which I don't think has ever been done before in a registered car, let alone a closed car. The competition in this is significantly better than your average time attack so I was very happy with the overall and class win

Any more action lately? I havent been able to stalk with no updates :P

Well did round 7 of the State and came first, one round left and I've almost got it in the bag. Have to come in top 15 to win the series (worst I've come in the dry is 2nd).

Also did Powercruise on the weekend, first year I have not broken the car which was good and managed to come 2nd in off street drags. Lost to a 32GTR with 3.4L GTX42, Holinger and ET Streets

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
