Took My car to the Drags tonight.

Ran a best time of
14.3@96mph which is not too good but considering the only mod is the Exhaust from the stock front pipe back it is reasonable, however I do have a feeling the cat is blocked and positioned to far towards the rear of the car and the car is only boosting to 9psi which should be higher than that with an exhaust.

Finally replaced the turbos today as one had a leaky seal and didn't boost as they should.

Took about 9 hours in total and is still my most hated job on a Soarer.

2 hours to get the Turbos off.
30 mins to swap hoses etc over.
2 hours to get them fitted.
4.5 hours trying to refit hose clips, line up bolts and find all the bits that drop down near the motor.

Anyway its all back together and going a lot better boost jumped from 9psi to 11psi.

I have just bought a new Turbosmart Eboost 2 which I will fit in the next couple of days. looks cool though.

Thought I might update this thread.
Got a bit done on the car recently.

Recent additions include.

FMIC kit
Apexi Pod filter
Eboost2
Momo Steering Wheel
Touchscreen Double din Pioneer DVD unit
Blitz Access ECU
1997 Taillights
Lowered springs (will be swapping to coilovers soon)
18" Volk Rays Wheels

Still have a few other small things to do then back down to the Drags.

Looking like a beast Rob .. what height are your springs? What is CWG measurement? I have adjustable coilovers on and want to lower similar to yours after I put on my 18s ..

Yeah thanks, its getting there.
CWG is about 33cm front and 32cm rear. Its a bit lower than I like but still doesn't scrape on speed humps.
When I fit my coilovers I will set both to 34cm.

It looks like a good colour on a Soarer. Don't see many red ones!

Cool! This might save me repainting my own.

3 Requests, if I may:

1. Can you confirm the paint code is 3k3?
2. Is the paint in good nick, clear coat good? (chances of a pic???)
3. Can you organise shipping at my expense to NT 0810? I recently used trans direct. I can do it from this end but it is a little difficult, and I'd still need you to package it.

If so, consider it sold.

After a lot of thought I have decided to keep the car as I have done too much to it to give up now.
