Looks Great!!!
I've been looking forward to finally seeing this thing.
But... Will it be in Small Bore? Just what Small Bore needed this year- another ass-kicking competitor.

Looking forward to seeing it soon. ( I just hope it takes you a while to sort it out)

Haha, I wish. Sadly they don't allow turbos in small bore, even 1.3L turbos ;) You'll just have to deal with the corolla :)

I'll probably bring it out to a test and tune sometime.

Paint looks good, I really like the FC turbos, almost picked one up about 4 years ago. Power, light, rwd. The issues with them strayed me away as I already had a DSM at the time so itd just be two busted ass turbo cars that I didnt have the time to work on :P.

thanks guys :)

I drove the car around for about a week, and then completely took apart the rear subframe :lol:

spherical bearings, camber adj, toe adj, torsen LSD, rear steer delete... and lots of other stuff :P

now I just need to get some new lug nuts that fit over my new longer wheel studs... and it should be done :) I might try to run 2 cars at a future event so I can bring the 7 :)
