Neat man

[Mirko]

Nice mods list but no images come up

[joeschmo_57]

Yeah that's night and prices really well!

[Mad RS]

Mirko- I can see the images so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Joe- Mate I have no response to that reply. No clue what you mean.

[Mirko]

yeah not its working browser must be nuts. Car looks mint what kind of power you getting also what size cooler is that doing same conversion and looking for right size

[Mirko]

Scrap that question just saw it was a gtir

[Mad RS]

Hey Mirko. At the moment I'm not sure on power. When it was running 50/50 98 and e85 and with a standard head I was told it got 290rwhp. Since there is no e85 pumps around my area and the TODA cams have been installed I'm just running on BP Ultimate and have to take it easy until it gets retuned. Cherry is booked into Horsepower Solutions on 25/2/2014 so Justin can work his magic. Fingers crossed she goes well.

[Mirko]

Wow 290 on those mods is fantastic as doing very similar. Might need that f series diff and w58 gearbox earlier then l thought. Keep me posted car is great

[Mad RS]

Yeah the 290 is yet to be seen. I am a little sceptical but as I can't rev the car past 4,000rpm atm I can't say if that figure is correct. Once Justin tunes it I'll post up a dyno sheet for all to see. Bring on the 25th!!!
