Yea you know how irresistable it is! I'm going to probably get a 10psi spring and leave it at that I don't want to get into exploding tranny territory!

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Dyno Video Added
Thanks all! I'm kinda keeping this semi-tame, I don't want to get into exploding gearbox territory. I've changed the wastegate spring to 9psi, which is working out more like 7.5psi in reality. The car feels really quick at this power level, I'm struggling to put it to the ground so I'm quite settled!
XYZ coilovers are now fitted, very impressed so far. Ride quality is really quite comfortable for coilovers (on soft). Need to get them setup decently, but it will have to wait for now as I'm changing to 16" rims soon. Could go lower but fat tyre/alloy/ offset combo puts things a bit close for now, plus bottomed out the metal skid plate a few times already! It looks well at this height, it's amazing what a few cm can do to the look of the car.
Few shots up in Portrush for a day trip:
Future plans:
16s alloy change - need more sidewall...for traction and the comfort will do no harm either.
Finally fit rear end wytbishop poly bushing and derust/paint everything that goes with it.
Tweak coilovers/alignment etc.
Tackle rust/paint issues :/
Turbo seals are dying, china turbo does not like launch control.

Re: Marco's '95GS-TURBO :D Dyno Video Added
Thanks! The paints honestly not that good
So another largish update!
5 stud conversion!
PLUS SSR Type C forged rims 16x7" 30offset and nice and light I love them! 12.5lbs / 5.67kg
Now running the 323f BA v6 slightly larger rotors and the larger pot calipers to match
And why you may ask, because I got tired of seeing all the nice deals on 5 stud rims...
Still need to:
-get tyres, hope they fit the arches with the little bit extra offset
-replace CV boot demolished
-bolt up the rest of the 5 stud gear on both sides

Hi Charlie, they're 323F BA 2.0 hubs, turns out they bolt straight onwytbishop wrote:What hubs did you use in the back?

Hmm nope don't think so! I gave up looking at hotmail for a few months due to the amount of crap. I'll take a look!
Thanks! Yes I could, they're quite hard to get but I can keep an eye out for another set. ITBs I still want to try again, so far now they're staying with me I'll help you however I can though.Sleeper6 wrote:Nice progress!
