I know it might not mean much to many, but after searching for such a long time, I've finally found something that I've been searching for for a long time now,

BEST.DAY.EVER (Well, it was the worst day ever being Monday and all, but this changes everything)

So like, I think it's about time I update this thread because, well, it's been a while and stuff so why not.

So this is how it tends to happen. One day it's summer and you're driving along and it's hot and you want to just put your foot down and go but your intake temps are sitting at 62 degrees and that means "NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE", well, I had had enough of that and decided to make things right... by paying someone else to make it right for me.

Naturally this happened somehow

The face only a mother could love, however, I'm not a mother, so meh.

Moving on...

After the fitment I removed some of the grills (As they had to be modified to fit again and I wasn't happy with that, although I am looking for a new bumper and plan to refit the cooler without having to modify the bumper), and also, she was dirty so it was a look that was well warranted

At this time I also did some of this

Because one of my CV boots decided that it doesn't want to be the babysitter of all grease, and promptly split allowing the contents to be spewed all over my fender liner and wheel

And not too long before that

I had to get a few of these, because just after the cooler was mounted, I was on the highway doing some 'Tests' and "POOF" the hotside 90 degree coupler just popped off. So after sitting on the highway for 2 hours with a measly screwdriver and with the strength of Odin himself, I finally popped the pipes back on and clamped them up as tight as I could (After 4 attempts) and limped home. I then bought a can of hairspray and that solved my issues.

Thereafter I did this

Which ended up with this

That's the new graph after the cooler was fitted (Ambient of 28.5 Degrees, 60 degree intake temp as the run started, ended at 40 degrees)

And this is the previous graph before the FMIC

On the same dyno, but on a MUCH colder night (Ambient of 19 degrees)

I also managed to get my hands on this

Which, fitted, looks like this

And that's all that I've done so far, which means I haven't done much at all, other things include importing 2 x GPS Aerials (Both had the incorrect fittings), so meh, no GPS is fine with me

Happy January

I'll keep this short and sweet as the next update will be long and pretty damn amazing if I do say so myself (Which I do, because I just did)

Some Launch Control action

And then some No-Lift Shift Action (Sort of, no shifts were involved in the filming of this short clip)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksEDYQODzUY

I love Bosch ME 7.5

Oh hi

Just giving you guys a tiny little update for now

This seems to be my current direction, the only other thing that changed is I re-tested my 0-100km/h and I managed 6.32 seconds

She needs to be mapped and the DP needs to be connected to the exhaust

Once that's done I'll drop some figures for you.

In the meantime here's a video of her first start

Woah, was the K04 really the last post I made in this thread?

I do sincerely apologise.

Here's a short and appropriate update

More low occured

Some flat foot shifting occured

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbxPNdq7 ... e=youtu.be

Some private night time track testing occured

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hacjYxwQkbs

All thanks to this

Which I built in my driveway after the K04 died a horrible death

I've also done many of these

And lately made this

and then I added some meth and went for some more of this

And ended up with these results

211Kw/368nm - No Meth
217Kw/376nm - 50/50 Mix
223Kw/386nm - 100% Meth

And now she's for sale
