Sounds like a joy to drive indeed.

I'm with Adam in the sleeper look, you must be turning some heads on the road!
It looks like a family shopping cart down to the stock wheels and everything :lol:

Ian

Yeah the only wheels I'm considering at this point is rota gravels or tbsti enkeis, but I'm also loath to loose the subtleness of the stock rims. I'm also considering painting them gunmetal.

nice, will consider those rims.

Finally got around to removing the shitty LEDs in my fogs and replacing them with the ones from leo, and did my front lip (from on the run motorsport - $220 picked up)

Will have to give it a wash and take a new pic with the lip

Loving this build thread.

I think it would be the delivery of the twin scroll that is more impressive than the peak power number

Would be awesome on the street

Well done

:) that's the idea - I've always held that you can take a 10k car and spend the right 10k on it, and it'll almost always be better than a 20k car. And yes, those mods are effectively money that is gone, but compared to the deprecation on your other 20k car, it's not massive, and you're driving in something that is exactly what you want. I don't understand people who just want OEM .

Thanks mick - it is amazing, the torque is effectively a flat line, so you get that nice turbo push way down low, then it's beautifully linear after that. The transient response is also obviously amazing. I made the mistake when building my 180sx of building a circuit car, but I was driving it on the street - I won't make that mistake again :)

They are great for the money, I am sure that the STi one is better, but not detectably so once fitted and in the real world (sans badge of course, which I will NOT be fitting)

Mint dyno results man, turns out you don't need a 2.5gt to get that extra large swig of torque after all

Might do the bottom of the air duct at some point, or I might remove it entirely

Great setup dude, twinscroll and e85 FTW! Only question - did the tuner explain the hick-up in the torque/power curve?

I've owned a preFL tbSti and can confidently say - the OTR lip looks 99% (if not 100%) identical to the Sti lip, bar the badge. The only real difference are the holes for the attachment points, just a different design. :)

Bahaha looks like Ian got his answer, and wouldn't expect any less from Vicroads. Last white car I had, was registered as blue. :? :lol:
Running no. of weeks without breaking something in the lib: 0

the torque curve is a little strange its 400nm at 3000rpm then drops to 360-370ish around 4000rpm then back up to 400 at 4400 then starts to drop again then up a little then down

It's hardly noticable on the road - you can see it because of the chassis dyno rather than wheel dyno.

This is what it sounds like now - you can also hear me hit the limiter, because I was worrying about the video, not the gears!
