Re: Bjs turbo Version R fto
400 is just a number anyways. Have you got your cams back and sorted out?
Are you putting all of the power down?

Re: Bjs turbo Version R fto
yeah its just a number, cams are sorted they end up grinding 4 new cams. Ive had them installed and dialled in with stronger inlet valve springs. didn't change the position of the cams on the dyno yet. it gets the power down.... spins 3rd in a straight line lol stops spinning around 140km. . . think I have just sold my wheels so I will be looking at some 9.5 wide wheels maybe a 9.5 + 20 or 12 all round

Look to be modified Dcuatro skirts with the hole/indent filled in. The entire things looks smoother as well though. (though that might be the light)vanadinite wrote:Looks mint mate, are those skits custom or stock moulded in?
I may steal this design as I've been thinking of doing similar. Although I want to see how expensive it would be to mould the fender straight down along the edge of the skirt so it doesn't have that wobble where it meets the rest of the body.

It took me about 100 hours or so to mould them into the car... I don't think I would like to be paying someone to do thisbjk wrote:Look to be modified Dcuatro skirts with the hole/indent filled in.

That engine bay is fracking super!
Hate to nit pick, but you are a perfectionist.
Is it the angle, or is your front license plate not sitting 100% correct?
