lofreq's x100 garage slipway chaser

[lofreq]

got the last set of dot coms from Nick at Platinum Wheels, via Magwarehouse. they actually only had 3 rims and had to find a 4th off a demo wall or something and that was the very last of it.

whilst at the 4&rotor show in aucks i bumped into a dude at the mag&turbo stand where i was looking at some advanti ADVAN copy wheels (looked like RG copies) and was asking about them in 18x9.5 +15 as they were quite concave, dude was like, "nah, dont come in 5x114, 5x120 only - but i got some concave wheels u might like, personally, for sale?" and he had these - just fell into my lap after id given up ever finding a set. so, just lucky, met the right person, and deal was done

i advertised the .coms for ages on trademe until some guy in nelson bought them. pretty cheap too by the end of it incl tyres. sigh.

ahh, the other car.. <3 i got no cash thru winter as the other car soaked up all my savings... but i have got dual boost controllers to be fitted to this thing, and brand new turbos, so i can retune for some solid power. goal is about 250wkw daily using an EVC3 controller and the turbo1 prespool mod for 13psi below 3800rpm (as opposed to 9psi stock) big difference. right now its about 15psi below 3800 and then 10psi up top lol, its like a rocket till you get ast 4k rpm then just stock. hah. EVC3 will fix that.

found a crashed uncompliable JZA80 supra with 3,800kms on the clock genuine. turbos are like brand new, not even carbon build up on exhhausts. gonna chuck em on for some good times.

may have aimgain kit on the way also....

just realised i have not updated this in a while

since last pics i have done a HID conversion on main headlights and spotlights (converted spotlights to orange)

got new caster arms, RCAs, balljoints, diff bushes

and repainted my sills, lip and engine bay

ive also added a new SSQV, HKS EVC3 and TurboXS controller for turbo1 prespool mod.

it will be taken to Brendan Duncker when hes back, for a retune to 13psi turbo1, 15psi low setting, 18psi high setting, and see what power it makes, hoping for a reliable 260wkw

so lastly im waiting on some new stickers, and a clean and polish, and she should be ready to rock summer

took this thing and the accord down to the NZPC hardpark on the weekend. hectic as, 400+ cars, cool atmosphere tho, surprisingly few dickfucks, got a little sunburnt on back of neck/gf turned into a lobster/itoldyouso etc

NZPC/pedey and co snapped a few pics here: http://www.performancecar.co.nz/news-59 ... ll-gallery

got me here:

i took some here:

and i wrote a little guiestblog for Grant (GT Refinishers) here as he couldnt attend on the day:

i also read the manual for my EVC3 and managed to reset the data on it, and reprogrammed the boost controller somewhat. it now is no longer on manual mode, its set up for 14psi low, 17psi high - and on the one blast of road i was able to floor it, the needle did indeed go past 10 but then i was paying more attention to the road at that point. didnt seem that much faster but i was only on it for about 1.3secs.

will need to save up a bit more and see Brendan for that tune and make sure fuel is behaving safely. bit hard at the moment as been throwing money at both cars to get them ready for summer as well as my end of yr holiday, going thru NYC etc and will be at Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 also. which is blowing my mind.

summer summer summer time. time to sit back and unwind.
