Guys

Got my clear corners done today.

Makes the car look not so dated. Abit of work trimming the sides and making bigger holes on the bumper but they now look great.

March 7th 2016.

Went up with the guys and there was a super sezy manual JZZ30 Soarer. The kit and the rims look amazing.

The Golf R was hard to chase as it corners like it is on rails. My back was coming out all the time trying to keep up. The stock rims and tyres didn't help.

Anyway test fitted a set of 18 inch ROTA rims.
Like the look but may go bronze color.

Yeah Leon, I reckon the bronze would look good in that rim.

7th May 2016

Guys,

Decided to hybrid my CT15B turbo. Will be getting it next week. New billet compressor 53/70/ 73 extended , with new shaft and bearings. On the turbine site, it will only be clipped.

Hope it can hold my planned 1.3 bar.

Lets see.

15th March

Looked for the volk racing bronze and finally found it . Not and easy color to get. Almost one week searching for it in Malaysia.

Got the turbo back yesterday. Putting it in now. Keep my fingers crossed that it will all run well. Can't wait for life at 1.5 bar!!

17th March 2016

Got the turbo to the workshop today. Got it installed.

Found the Volk Racing bronze I was looking for and passed it to the painter.

Cant wait for the car to be sorted just in time for a local car event called Retro Havoc next week.

New baby inside the engine bay. Got to get it tuned and then will share the dyno after.

Brake pads are gone too so getting a set of Mintex in . Will spray the calipers too as the red's wont go so well with the new bronze rims.

Looks great! What octane fuel do you have in Malaysia? I'm running my car on e85 fuel here in Victoria. It gave my 1JZ a good power up :-)

Hi buddy

We only have Ron 95 and Ron 97 here. As Ron 97 is expensive, I am running on 95. Still ok to pumpnout 250 whp at 1 bar on an auto. Let's see what my new turbo can so at 1.5 bar. Will share the dyno once the car is on the rolling road.

23rd March 2016.

Crazy week. Firstly got the speedometer sorted out. My original odometer has gone wack. Thx to Johan who gave me an extra meter he had lying around.

Got the rims back from the painters. The bronze looks ok but I expected a slightly darker shade of bronze.

Decided on a set of R35 GTR injectors for my power plans and pick them up this week.

Then got a Tial BOV as my expected boost levels of 1.5 bar, doubt the stock BOV can handle it.

Its off to the tuners this week. Hope they can work magic on the PFC.

Will update the output after the dyno.
