If there is enough interest, I could do a group buy once I am ready. Probably cost about $2000 U.S. And it would be best to do a large carton, or share a container. Rather than shipping one at a time.

Went to the world famous Phillip Island race track yesterday. Came 3rd outright from 100 cars. Should have put the wing on. It was way to slidey in the rear.

I haven't updated this in a while.
After going thru another clutch I have now installed a button cushion clutch. Seems to be working great. The front brakes have been upgraded to Willwoods. I made a wing for it last week, and tested it on Sunday. It works great.
I entered the Australian SuperSprint Championships held over a Weekend at a Meduim sized track called Winton. I came 11th outright and easily won my class. 6 Supersport cars like West's and Radicals entered, so if you don't count them, I came 5th outright. I did a 1:32, previous P.B was a 1:36 in my first turbo NA6.
Did another track day at Sandown on Sunday, got a new P.B. Of 1:22.0. Won my class and came 4th outright.

Also, I made a 3" turbo back exhaust, but couldn't keep the boost down. We set the boost cut to 16psi, and it hit it straight away. I only want to run 12psi. In the end I had to swap back to the 2.25" exhaust.
Might need to port the wastegate?
I plan on getting some bigger Injectors, put the 3" back on, get a MAC valve, fill it up with E85 and get it retuned. Should make decent power, and hopefully it all holds together.
