Way back in November 21, 2011!! yes Samuli it was that long ago!! sign0058
I say loser as the car is still sitting in UK waiting shipment to Finland, life, work and relationships all got in the way of every plan to ship it, then this winter some idiot spunked his savings on a red car laughing-smiley-014
So still it sits, i call it mileage saving! In England. Plans are afoot to fetch it here this summer but took a kick in the balls today as i found the budget car shipper i had links to no longer operates thumbsdown
SO it seems it may be another months salary has to be saved towards it angry-smiley-005
sometimes i wonder if the gods are conspiring against me ever getting it here!!! vash
anyway the ad for the car read as follows
front lip spoiler greddy turbo kit baily dump valve induction kit kakimoto exhaust decat sparco dished alloy wheels vortech fpr momo wheel LSD exedy clutch roll cage with padded bars

Kaide if you need some inspiration, think that this has been achieved by two guys in a shed with a Halfords (read decent Biltema) socket set and a few other tools. from your pics i think you got a much more clinical set up ;) one last push fella and its there

Thanks for kickin my ass ! Now the car is " up and running" . Well , it burns rubber, that´s true ! I tried it with 8 psi of boost , Bipes acu and 70 psi fuel pressure. Maybe about 180bhp ? Now , back to the garage an some working with the suspension , seats, roll cage, megasquirt , injectors etc etc etc ... popcorn
clap glad to hear it Kaide. We have one motto in our team
Just Keep Fighting! :porvarismoke
I am at a deadlock until i get the MS set up as cant do much else till then.
She does run all be it like a bag of spanners but at least i know it works, alas MS doesnt know what injectors we are running etc. so off to buy a laptop with Serial port this week!!
