I just actually had them made. It's your standard turbo decal for toyota suv's I think maybe from the landcruisers (which share the same lettering/font with our turbo emblem) Thanks man appreciate it

In this ten lap race we joined we did start to feel a bit of heat soak at about 7th/8th lap – but I really didn't design this to be a race car since I have a gt turbo dedicated for that purpose. Driving daily though I haven't noticed it much, maybe after an hour in standstill traffic during the day. Otherwise you wouldn't even notice that it was still on the stock TMIC.

Thank you! Hey if ever you find yourself in the Philippines for any reason, just hit me up and I'd gladly show the car to you Thank you man. Yeah I myself thought that I wouldn't be able to actually see this build completed after several setbacks. You really just need to be persistent. I actually have a slightly different setup now than when I had it on the dyno. But anyway here is the previous dyno sheet numbers. These are all at the wheel figures – with the stock ct9 turbo at 1bar, ported stock exhaust manifold, manual boost controller (I misplaced my AVCR boost control unit and couldn't find it until a month later), stock TMIC, stock internals with ARP headbolts on 97 octane pump gas (Shell VPower Racing) Baseline came in at 123.15 wheel horsepower and 128.95 foot-pounds at the wheels. I was able to get it mapped to produce 133.8 wheel horsepower and 157.62 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels. Currently though I was able to source and install a Blitz K1-200v turbo and because it hasn't been mapped properly to this turbo I'm running slightly lower boost at .8 bar. I also finally found the AVCR boost controller and I have it installed and working. I'll have this mapped to the new turbo soon enough.

Thanks!

So, I really haven't found the time to update this with what's been happening with the car. Mainly because I've just been enjoying driving her daily. And now it's actually been about a year after we built this car – so I decided to take her up to the mountains (as I've done with my previous ones) and finally take a video of her. You'll see some of the new updates I did to the car in the vid that never made it to this thread. She's not a supercar by any stretch of the imagination – but she is quick enough. After a year of being daily driven – she's definitely far from being pristine. That said, nothing can really beat this car from being a pretty decent all-rounder. Drive it daily in city traffic, take it to the track, take it on a roadtrip. No worries. No fuss. No problem. I love this fucking car. This was shot an hour before we headed home on an old dinky Lumix GH1 and an ancient GoPro HERO2. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dveD-Toqa6s

I have a couple of updates with the car and I'll update the build thread as soon as I get my thoughts organized. But first here's a pic from a shoot we did last nigh with a friend's Civic SiR.
