Not very. Just need the front wheels off the car and some screwdrivers.

Nice, wondered how 205/50's would look on an 8 inch rim. I'm hoping to fit 215's or 225's on an 8. But I think thats a pipe dream because I refuse to run fender flares.

You don't need flares, depends on what offset you are running on the wheels, I am running 225's on 8's and about to fit on some 245's on 9 for the rear.

Good going, car.

Ah that gives me hope. Goal is to start tracking the car and ultimately take on the Superlap NZ series. Has plenty of grip at the moment, but once I turn the boost up I imagine it'll start getting hairy.

225 semi's all around should break my neck in the corners.

Heh 215 was the plan because I do want to run flares but went for the 205's due to not wanting to cut as of yet. You will need more than +20 for bigger I would think.

So unless I am working on Saturday it will be pulling out the inner guards and doing a Rear bumper cutout.

That is super sexy!!!

evel · Post by **evel** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 4:59 pm

What sorta dash is that? Was it plug and play into the Link?

mattapo · Post by **mattapo** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 6:51 pm

Its the race tech dash 2 pro, Link has can protocol to work with the dash 2 pro. You can get them from link, 2 wire can connection. They have everything required for a road legal dash on them.

I picked these up from Redline the other day and just finished putting them in this afternoon. The difference in ride quality is AMAZING, in saying that I did come from a setup which bottomed out all the time and rubbed the gourds all the time so yeah, now all I need is a cert haha. As low as they can go on the rear, almost lowest on the front. Shock firmness numbers that I thought were good for the road is 22 front, 25 rear.

final result, 190w, wastage is not holding so 12psi was the limit, have ordered a turbosmart wastage actuator. just need to re book it in, tune a bit more boost then tune the R85 and go for the 300hp

Engine is getting tired though, rings letting a little oil past when it gets thrashed.......

How much that set you back? I have been looking at Atoms for an NA build

mattapo · Post by **mattapo** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:11 pm

I would recommend a megasquirt over an atom, I have the storm and with the extra I want to do I should have got the extreme. the cost was the put off.
I paid 1700 for storm.

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:34 pm

I wouldnt go a Megasquirt since no one can tune them
