I started undersealing it today too, what a messy job that was with no ramp, managed to get about a quarter of it done but it started to piss down. Will leave it for a sunny day if we ever get one again.

Got a few bits and pieces i need to do to it at the moment, in particular i need to

1. Get the Geometry setup, being done this Tuesday

2. Rolling road it to find out what power its making and get the boost set to 1.0-1.1bar

3. Spray my wheels black (Done two of them so far :p)

4. Put my oil cooler on

5. Connect up the oil pressure and temp gague

6. Give it an oil and filter change.

Otherwise its good to go, got the old clocks put back in and wired up but i cant get the fuel sensor to work which is a pain, but then again the fuel tank only holds about 15 litres so it only does about 100 miles to a tank anyway ha ha.

Been a busy boy with the starlet :p

Had the cars geometry setup at Avia Autos, so the camber and tracking are all spot on now, drives so much better.

I also took the car to Gotboost and got it on the rollers :)

On about the 5th power run i completly shit my self as the car literally exploded, for 15 secs i thought the engine had blown up, but a water hose had burst off dramatically with a big bang when it was going flat out and it made me shit my self, phew!!!, my heart jumped into my mouth for a seccond.

We did a few more power runs and i settled on the car making 204hp at 1bar and 180.6ft of torque, slightly less than i was expecting was hoping for about 210hp but I am still happy with that.

Figures below are power at the wheels, based on two runs one at 0.8bar in red then the 1.0bar in blue

Estimated fly figures are here
