Finish off these clear lenses and get the e85 fuel system and tuned, but i saw a larger hks exhaust housing so tossing up putting that on for the new tune, perhaps not...

Then get either half cage or harness bar so i can finally fit the takata harness i have and also a passenger rail so i can fit the other sparco fixed back i have

what makes you think the stock radiator will give in?

what like, not be enough to handle the heat or just get old and not work properly no more?

Yeah I think the heat gets too much, there really thin and old, mine gave up after a few dyno runs of 320kw.. just got it home, turnt it off and she opened up.

I had my radiator crack at SMSP last month. Really wasn't expecting it to go considering I'm making <200rwkw but it was a hot day..

Yep and mine blew the top tank off it a few months prior to Matts letting go, considering the cost of an engine rebuild i would be doing it ;)

Oh and its also more bling lol

Well ill wait till i can see the budget for a decent koyo rad...

Yep i need to post pics of the indicator lenses installed, they look cool and have wanted to do it for so long..

Do your research on Radiators... I had a choice of Koyo vs PWR vs Racepace and had to learn quite a bit while choosing... Bigger isn't always best ;)

So im thinking i will have to roll the front guards and maybe a pump if possible to fit 17x9 with 265 rubber, if anyone knows someone to do it on the central coast that would be helpful...

Another track day coming up too, so need to replace clutch and general stuff like oil & filter change, bleed brakes and bleed brakes.

Hope to have temp sensors installed in plenum, turbo exhaust housing to see changes in air temp before and after ceramic coating to all intercooler piping and plenum... If i can get the time to dismantle and and reassemble... Fingers crossed!

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
