Yea mate i really like it, its still very econimical at around 12l/100 when just driving around town but put the boot in and it goes awesome.

Not really after too much more HP at the moment being my only daily driver but would love to do a manual conversion!

Yea went down, hot night, anyway managed a best of 14.4 but really need to learn how to launch it properly. Also need to get the intake air temp down, but other than that happy.

my reaction times are aronund the .5 and 60ft around the .4 also so need to get a bit of practice under my belt.

Did see two awesome turbo six's EL or EF's running low 11's all night, Very impressive.

on the 14.4 run was 104.

Biggest thing Ive found is heat, I can really notice a huge difference, more than any other car Ive driven, when the temp starts getting high.

Ill have to sort out some sort of CAI as the pod is just sitting in the engine bay sucking up hot air.

If anyone has any suggestions would be happy to hear.

Cut a hole and put it behind the bumper.

But be careful in the rain, and maybe even make a splash guard to keep the wheel from spraying it.

Also, remove the rubber on the fire wall that seals against the bonnet so the air flows through more.
