jon5698 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Just ordered a couple of parts ready for when it gets here. Ordered a Sard R2D2 Bov from RHDJapan and an Innovite Wideband from Dusty at MVP. Quote

ecksjay Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 feck me, a mate of mine sold his 6sp manual 2jz import supe for £5.5k a few months ago, we were looking at 700bhp ones when he sold it that were around £9k! hell of a lot of money.long as you're happy with it though mate thats all that matters. daves was brilliant when he had it, so much torque it was unreal, just relentless power. wasn't quite as 'drivable' as he liked (i.e they're far too tail happy) plus the running costs were huge which is why he sold it, but was still a lovely car when he had it.be VERY careful with it when you first get it mate, i had one step out cruising along at 70mph, dropping from 6th to 5th, foot down, back end went EVERYWHERE. god knows how we didnt die. they can catch you off-guard like you wouldnt believe Quote
RobSR Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Very nice mate good choice using jurgen aswell! How much did dusty charge for postage etc as I'm after a few bits from him! Cheers Quote

I know what you mean about the tail stepping out lol my mate has a single which will be around 800-900bhp when it is fully mapped and it is an animal.Sparky the wideband was $268 shipped from america i think it is about £160.

ecksjay Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 it is a hell of a lot mate to be honest, my friends was running a dyno'd 386bhp (so not particularly modded, basically BPU-spec), with a 5zigen exhaust and decat, fidanza flywheel and rps max street clutch, bilstein's and a few other goodies. that was pretty much it. it needed a new paint job, but for 6k it would have been perfect (750-1000quid worth of paint job, and it'd have been a very mint cheap supe, as it was mechanically perfect, just had been rattle canned at some point). I couldn't justify spending over 9k on one knowing what they cost, but like you said, you have your reasons, and as long as you're happy, thats all that matters.i had my s14 when my friend had his supe and they were both astonishingly quick, s14 would just about keep up with the supe, great fun on the motorway etc. we've both gone for handling now and have an ek4 and ek9 respectively, as we're well into our track work at the minute.keep us updated with it mate Quote
jon5698 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 How are you finding the EK9? i had one after i sold my GT but i couldn't get away with Vtec, handling was anreal though. Quote
jon5698 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 Well my wideband and bov arrived last week but i was working away in Ireland so couldn't see them. Just got home tonight and took some pics can't wait to get them fitted. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 happy day man!lets see some pics ASAP!Phil. Quote
