cheers guys ..
LOL @Jace. i was wondering who was gonna pick up on that :P. Dw thats all fixed now. Also good news today. With my wheels being o disk there wasnt really much hope in fitting any sort of big brakes.. But as i found out today, the nb8b brakes clear front and rear, JUST. So stoked about that.

However id love some Project Mu 4 pot fronts haha. But this is a great alternative. Nb8b with some good pads and i think i would have some good brakes..

looks tops charlie.

Are you running haltec Coils? I thought you would have just gone with the toyota COPs?
Can't wait to see it on the road.

ah - thought they look familiar. You're running direct fire?

Is there any reason you went these over the COPs? Just curious.

They are popular in the states because in the states they are cheaper than toyota cops.

Plus they wont cause me any ignition problems. All of the people running these in the states have high hp builds and this is the best way to ensure no problems

Update:
Car has been run in on the dyno. Just made 200rwkw on 1 bar on a rough tune. Still plenty in it.

It has been pulled back to 160 rwkw just so i can put more km's on the motor. I get to drive it this arv for the first time in over 6 months :D SO farking KEEN!!!

Will go back in a few weeks and get above 200rwkw just like i wanted. Tuner is confident to get well over 250rwkw on e85.

That's pretty much it. Them as much track time as possible to learn to drive this again. Boost comes on hard and fast.

There's things that I want to do in the future like:
- probably .63 rear housing
- nb8b brakes
- haltech ps1000
- racepak dash

Yeah that's the .86 rear housing now. For only a few hundred $$$ I might as well get the .63 and get a but of spool back :)

Dyno was done at gt auto
