My Rare As F**K EP71 Starlet Turbo S

Well, there's all of about 3 of these in WA (Saw another one today) and with the demise of the 15 year rule it looks like that's the way it's going to stay.
Mods:
KYB shock absorbers make this car the best handling vehicle I've driven (and I used to build minis) with RS*R drop springs bringing her closer to the tarmac.
A TRUST stainless steel cat back exhaust, while extremely quiet, keeps the restriction to a minimum.
A HKS turbo timer keeps the stock ceramic turbo from melting into a pile of sludge after those hard runs
A set of "drift spec" japanese light rims drop the weight, with some lower profile tyres helping the handling along.
The factory boost controller has a dash mounted switch which allows the driver to select between 4 and 8 PSI, with a factory boost meter lighting up 8 little bars to remind me that the little CT12a is ready to go at about 2500 rpm.
All in all this car is a hoot, I've had it for about a month now and it's still shown no sign of understeer, although it's going to need a new clutch in the near future.
Planned mods: This year: Dump pipe, shielded POD. Possibly SAFC2 piggy back fuel computer, more boost, or:
Next year: complete ECU (Microtech Autronics or Apexi)
Rising rate fuel pressure regulator, bit more boost.
After that: Considering a swap from the current 2E-TELU to the newer twin cam 16V 4EFTE from the later starlets, complete with a T28 or 25 garett ball bearing turbo, forged pistons, rods, cams, whole shebang, looking at at least 250hp.
