Looking good.

His wiring guy probably needs to learn how to use a ruler or go to Specsavers ??

Never ending saga with this car. Decided to get a decent coil kit, and surprise doesn't fit like a decent kit lol

Make everything yourself

[iruvyouskyrine]

That is f**king shocking. He should stick to billet parts and leave the wiring to the professionals lol

Looking at the first pic again, what was the actual issue? it all looks like it's plugged in and nice and neat compared to the latest pic...

the last coil pack has been turned around so it clears the covers, however you can see the last connector is too short hence the loom is compressed and sits stupid.

So did some last minute road tuning during the week and poured in E85 (because no idea how much timing the motor can take safely so used knock suppression fuel lol) and then took the shit box to a skid pad. 

LOL... Was interesting to say, things to note:

• a car setup for the track setup doesn't work on a skid pan very well  
• a big laggy turbo isn't great on a skid pan, comes on you spin out, clutch kick and you bog
• can't slide around at 4k rpm in 2nd, it bogs, rev it harder and spins out once the turbo comes on (lag life)
• semi slick tires on the rear not a great idea either (borrowed some drift tyres afterwards)

I'll upload some in car footage soon once. I pull I pull it down from my VIRB.

Even the seasoned drifters had a go and couldn't slide it properly in 2nd, mainly slid around in 1st lolol

Here's a clip of Jono aka Signition (a seasoned skid panner) struggling with the boat lol

More like time for a smaller sensible sized turbo if I want to play in this sport, but my heart lies in circuit racing, powercruise and roll racing.

Anyhow, not bad for a shake down. A few things I've noticed after yesterday:

• I didn't seal the sump properly, there's a weep at the front (using a RWD sump on a AWD motor, doesn't seal well)
• turbo is too big for drifting
• should have bought a M235i BMW or a 335i BMW lol

I may have accidentally bought a new turbo ?

Slipped on my keyboard and somehow ended up with a new turbo... oh wells.

Skidpan looks fun. 

Turbo talk and no pics, son I am disappoint. 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]
