Its currently running 10psi, but will fit 550cc injectors + Metal cat + New Intake design and then retune so i can run 12psi.

I've also got a Beatrush Diff brace to fit, and FM Butterfly brace on order. Also need to fit US R Package rear low spoiler and a rear tow hook. Im doing a few little tidying up projects too. Im loving this car

Wow what a car!

This would be my ideal NA

Well done Rob!

the credit needs to go to Daz who built it, i just recognised it as being a corker and snapped it up. nevertheless, i will be making some further improvements

Chris, feels like 140-150rwkw to me. All will be revealed when it goes in for 12psi tune

Looking good Rob!

Very Nice, well done

what a great example of an NA..... if you don't mind me saying, i had a hard on looking at her.

maybe time to sell the nb8b & buy an na8 sliq

I love the front on and rear on stance. The wheel offset and camber really sets it off.

yeah, im going to wind it down about 10mm front and rear i think, no more. The 6UL have really grown on me too, perfect combination of stance/width/weight/brake clearance for me.

Once i do power + bracing the next step is seats and harnesses........probably need a beefier clutch too

I like that car, its just like mine but better in too many ways

@ MDTC

The car developed what i think is some kind of fueling problem, after 3-4 minutes hard it would start to hesitate, splutter etc...almost like a soft cut rev limiter. Will get the new injectors in next Saturday and have retuned, will check out the pump too to make sure its up to speed.
