steering redesign
got some time to kill atm and been meaning to do some more development of my front steering set up for a while now… my knuckles that i developed for the s14 were the first version that i had and i have learnt so much more about set ups since then so want to take that knowledge that i have gained and apply that to my car. A few customers of mine are rocking my new version 2 knuckles so im a bit behind the ball haha.
stuff ripped out... everything is dirty as hell from various wet sessions and off roading..esp at winton! So much mud at that track haha
its amazing how much of a hammering components get… i bent the hell out of this tie rod after mounting a ripple strip at full angle.. hammered it straight and went back out. everything else is still going strong 😀
A Quiet Saturday – Fitting new GTX up
Got a bit bored this morning so fitted up my new turbo to the car. heres some pics of the install.. enjoy 😀
GTX3076R is in my hands!
i picked up my GTX3076 today from the helpful guys down at MTQ… many thanks to MTQ and Sonic Performance for helping out. you gotta see the quality of the compressor wheel to believe it! huge difference when compared to the regular GT version… here’s hoping it has an improvement over the GT. time will tell and a tune/dyno is happening very soon.
open the box.. what do we have here!
Awesome video
This is one of the better drift video’s ive seen in a long while… well worth the watch!
Selling my turbo – upgrade time!
And so the ongoing search for perfection happens, Ive decided to sell my GT3076R and give the new Garret GTX range a try and do some back to back testing and see how it stacks up to the current turbo. I’ll be keeping the A/R the same for now to make sure that there are no other variables and then i’ll get it dynoed . should be interesting to see the results!
Anyhow my GT3076 is for sale.. if your interested contact me, its pretty much brand new and recently rebuilt.
WTA countdown!
Cannot wait til Aug 6th and 7th… around 20 of us are making the trek from SA to visit Eastern Creek for the 2011 World Time Attack… i’ll be competing in the Tectaloy Drift Challenge which see’s a lot of interstate drivers coming over for this! should be be an amazing adventure not to just drive but also see all the awesome cars and to see them in action. Get on it!
SMM knuckles!
i do all my own work and as a result i have developed a knuckle package for s13/14/15 that works exceptionally well!
S14 knuckles already done and sold
AM Performance titanium goodness!
Check out the amazing Titanium work coming out of AM Performance… im lucky enough to have a set of these puppies on my full Titanium exhaust which is equally as sexy.
