Here are my favourite photos of the beast from the MTC 2014;
The best one is the one in the garage.

What turbo have you got? If it is ct20b you need different turbo or somehow get an external gate - you can't port the stock one large enough to stop creep. EC main straight for instance - you are just producing too much exhaust gas at 200kmh+. And the faster you go the worse it gets.

Thread revival!
I fixed the boost creep issue with my CT26 by enlarging the wastgate holes as well as porting the internals of the turbo so the gas can more easily turn the corner and flow out of the wastegate. There you go - it can be done! :-)

Here is the latest video from Eastern Creek. Yes the car is still going! woohoo!
I've finally built a reliable SDUB.
There were 60+ cars on the track at the same time.

Nice work Glen. Looks like a great day out with plenty of traffic.
Very pleased to see the car is running reliable now.

I was searching for times from a trackday I attended in the Celica. It was held by Powerplay Imports. They held one in 2007 and 2008. I looked at the times for 2008 and found your name and your car attended the event!
I was not driving my car but did have a drive of a friends car as well as doing all the video work which can be found on youtube. What I remember very clearly was seeing your car at the trackday. I walked over to the fence with your car being one of the first cars flying past and its was unforgettable. This wild red 'car' with a wing and carrying great speed into turn one. It really stood out from all the Nissans and the likes. After that, it cruised into pit lane and then remember seeing it loaded onto a trailer. My thoughts were 'that is a real circuit car. I just wanted one'. I think that's what inspired me to 'take the black' and buy my MR2 and build the car I have today.
Thanks mate, you were helping me before we ever meet.

That was a top ten finish you managed. The top two cars spend 60k to get to that level. The GTR was 400awkw, the R31 was a 300kw drift weapon with a top driver behind the wheel, the 350z was a big dollar twin turbo V6 with a top line driver in it but no idea on the EVO's.

Yeah that was me. I was there with my mate Bill (black R34). That was one of the rare times that the car ran well.
I had slicks on the rear that day. Unbelievable grip compared to what I was used to.
I remember that 350Z clearly. I would catch him through the corners and then he'd pull away down the straight. I looked at all my gauges to see if there was something wrong. I expected to blast past him because I knew 350zs aren't fast.
It's true - there were a lot of fast cars there that day.
There have been a lot of issues with the car since then. That day was 3 engines ago!
I have recently set my reliability record - 4 full track days with no serious issues, and still going strong.
