Not as of yet, was going to drop some 550cc injectors, bore the fuel rail and get a bigger fuel pump and have it tuned with an aftermarket ecu on the dyno. With the 440cc injectors Lance from these forums knows someone who pulled 170kw at all fours with a very similar setup.
I'm negotiable so dont be afraid to throw me an offer, would rather sell it sooner then later, couple of MR2s i'd really like to have a look at are around at the moment  So tempt me with offers guys 
Oh another thing, car has a K&N panel filter fitted, the resonator box has also been removed, can supply it with car if necessary. AC gear has been removed but I have it all here ready to reinstall. Only thing required for installation will be to reroute the cold side IC piping, because as is it'd foul with the compressor location.

that 170 AWKW one would be mine , and Spectrals setup was very similar in most respects to mine - he just needed to get his wolf dialled in by a proper tuner on a dyno - and he would have seen simiar results id say
This car has a good strong mechanical package and a potential for alot more go for the right buyer ..
in all seriousness - kiddies need not apply - this car should go to an enthusiast who can make it what it can be !

well, should be getting a deposit within next couple of days, been offered $14300 from a guy who saw it on carsales. If any toymodians wish this car you'd better get in now. To make it fair on current interested party a $200 increment in price will be required to sway me from the current buyer. Last chanceguys, otherwise, consider her sold.
