Not much more to report ... Just been paying off suppliers... :( Really hate that part...

Newest purchase is this ...

Image

So car is going to have the ability to run as AWD or RWD depending on the mood I am in ... Part is meant to be rated for 800hp ... So I should blow the drivetrain before I kill the gearbox... Well in theory anyway ..
I just had to add it ......

Seems weird that just a small component makes changes like that! Don't want to ask what that set you back! :lol:

Yeah, need to slightly mod the front drive shafts as well apparently ..

Gotta get Ricol to check it all out, and make sure it is not too much effort. But yeah, "Made of Billet Chromoly steel , this product has been reliably used to transmit 400 wheel hp to the ground on drifting EVO's."

Could make a copy of it, on the cheap, by welding up and playing with an existing coupling ... But would not be sure on how stable it would be under load... So given how much this car owes me, best to play it safe...

Next comes #stance... Blahahah ...

So 249kw atw.. (20psi)... Could run higher boost but happy with it there.. Most efficient range for the turbo on it, and should not put too much stress on other parts.. So no breaking sh*t..

Will get it back, drive it, and see how it goess..

Injectors still have heaps more left to give, so really comes down to what turbo, where I went the power etc.

Swift is going good man .. Has a few battle scars... So will fix those up after the wife has been driving for a while. Still have front + rear extensions to add to complete the kit...

Great car to drive, and very comfortable... Have almost put 60,000 on the clock... 8O

sh*t tyres on the car, made 4th unbearable and pretty dangerous given you will hit higher speeds... The shakes and ride was terrible, due to the tyres being so hard and out of shape... They were about 8 years old, and mostly spent more time sitting round than anything... They were that old, they were on my Sonata... 8O

New rubber is on, and none of the shakes exist that it use to have, but these came after I saw how bad the car was driving.

Tuning wise (and power wise) depending on the dyno set up, and the load applied results should be about the same ..

I want to do a run and see how it goes on an AWD dyno, and see how much of the power goes to all wheels, instead of being lost to the rear, and whatever the coupling and box absorb from the front...

Am loving driving this thing to work ...

Don't want to go back to the Swift ... Hehehehe...

But I think the neighbours are gonna start hating soon .. Have adjusted my hours so I leave at 7am for work, instead of what the usual of 6:30 - 6:45am ...

Have seen some on ebay .. But like $500 ...

Better things to spend on than that ... But may look at it at a later date...
