continued...10pics per post thingy...

The power graph of the 3s-gte at the wheels on the same dyno as the one before...at this stage the factor boost controler was still in with a home made bleed valve...u can see the boost go right to the set 12psi then fall down cause of shity exhaust and t-vsv (factory boost controler).

So there u guys go...the best thread i've ever done with the gt-2 in detail for the first time!!!!! i hope u guys and girls like!

she pissing me off atm...gear box about to go...clutch is doing something sometimes...and need new front brake pads....i've driven the conversion since june 2004 and have done about 35,000-40,000km with it and the only thing is the gearbox is dieing....should stop trying to change gears faster than F1 cars. and oil leak from the distributor (i'm pretty sure it there)...

the plan by the end of the year is a Full respary red with some metalic and with orange perl...custom design (aka me) front and rear bumper bars and ssv side skirts... to have a full 3in zorst..front mount intercooler (reason to design a nice front bar) and a full programable management computer too (about 250hp @ front wheels i hope... and maybe a high flowed turbo...
