Looking great! Love how neat the FMIC looks, can't even tell the middle bit was cut out

I'm working on bright green track wheels at the moment

Thanks Daniel, you'll love the engine bay shot even more...once my engine cover goes back on you will barely notice anything out of the ordinary except for some blue bits here and there

So when I picked up my car from Garage 88 a few weeks ago, Michael showed me the dyno graph that said 208.9kw atw...then he told me to take it for a drive. The big grin on my face when I drove back into the factory said it all! He then told me it feels a lot quicker on the road than 209kw...and tonight proved it!

Work blocks some images... so i'll guess and say, Well done Rome, you look fantastic in a pink thong.

[mynameisdaniel]

Yes, can't wait for engine bay pic

Wow! Did you struggle for traction at all? And is that a 2 second reaction time? haha

Bosch it was a time of 12.765...

Daniel no traction issues, only had a small tyre chirp, gotta love awd!!

And yes reaction time was 2 seconds but only because I sat on the line boost stalling up to 3,500rpm before letting it loose best reaction time for the night for me was .499 but the RT wasn't as important to me as the time!

Congrats Rome.

A great result.

Based on the result are you still looking at a tune via Kido.

Thanks Bruce! I will say that it's definitely changed my perspective because based on my experience with my car (including logging) over the past few weeks, I am extremely happy with how things are going so not sure I want to change things so soon. In saying that though, there is still some TC slip in high rpms in 2nd, 3rd and 4th and I know Matt can eradicate that issue.

I know I DO want an E85 tune eventually though and it's a given that I want Matt to do that tune for me but don't want to go down that route until next year!

Some photos courtesty of Nigel and Jack! More to come from Nigel including some go pro footage!

Best MPH?

[Rome_BRZ]

Best MPH?

106mph!

106 makes for a pretty quick streeter.
