Thanks. Will do, looking forward to taking it out. Not sure if the 205 tires will hold up.

I would say 8k for all new parts bar the turbo.

It's not cheap. Labour when it all goes well isn't too expensive. It's all the bits you need to do it right.

Car had it's first track day. Decided last min to take it to Marulan. One word.... WOW ...... Different driving experience. NA is quick because most the time your flat out rolling into corners. Now you really need to be on it... Brakes and powering out of corners is crucial to being quick. 205 tires struggle. Car felt mechanically solid .

plus I suppose there is the option if the time ever comes and you want to go 300 rwhp - a couple of thousand $$ should do it!

I actually need more grip. Plenty of power.

Mounted to 7inch wheels which I've been told is less than ideal.
