thought it was a nice afternoon for a bat lap and a few glama photos at the top of the freo war memorial,



after it was professionaly buffed and paint prepped last week i somehow managed to ruin it by a very average rush wash job this morning, black is so evil.

anyway, managed to get the new braided wastegate line installed along with the brakes, dba5000/ds2500 with braided lines and its made a hell of a difference to the drive and feel, slowly getting there!

its booked in on friday and disappers again for a few weeks while the fuel-system is upgraded and we turn the boost up!

ive settled on running the following,

aeromotive pro series 1500hp fuel pump
aeormotive -12 100 micron billet fuel filter
aeromotive -10 10 micron billet fuel filter
aeromotive billet fuel filter brackets (x2)
aeromotive pro series fuel regulator
aeromotive billet fuel pump controller
sard 1000cc injectors
custom billet fuel rail
custom 10lt fuel cell/surge tank

as usual, ill take a few progress photos and ill be sure to grab the dyno videos once finished!

What's it like to drive?

Beautiful car. Looks like some decent sized rubber on the back - and deservedly so!

endless power in any gear at any rpm. you can drive it off boost and still move along at a decent speed. the car sort of has two personalities. on wastegate and off wastegate. once on gate, all hell breaks loose, the screamer pipe sounds like nothing you have never heard before, a cross between a truck and hipo gtr. you are forever fighting the wheel trying to correct the wheelspin but its not aggresive at all so you quite easliy get yourself out of trouble. traction control stays on most times but when the need arises to turn it off, flat shifting to second or third gear it leaves the most spectacular skid. driving it hard ive had it break out in 4th gear but lucky for me, tc was on!

its a car you slowly get used too, the weight penalty is bit of a performance killjoy but because of its dr jeckly mr hyde personality you can quite easily cruise all day up the coast in total comfort with the stereo blasting, sunroof open and in control, the next breath open the taps for some glorious sideways action!

roy velardi from street fords mag is keen to feature it as a cover car once i get it back from this round of mods.

i enjoyed the feature i did with the S201 in HPI so ill continue to go down this path.

honestly, psc is one big paid ad campaign from various smoke and mirror workshops!
