I talked about the dyno chart before, but I have included it below. The tractive effort is not torque (nm) but the actual force on the dyno.
 


The past year I have focused on the powertrain, but now its time to focus on suspension. I have coil overs but the steering is a little sloppy and my bushes are pretty old

To complete my overhaul of suspension, I purchased the following:
  • Prothane Bushing Kit
  • Inner tie rods
  • Outer tie rods
  • Steering rack bushes
  • Sway bar reinforcement plates
I will be pulling all my suspension out and refurbishing everything.
 
I also purchased a Sabelt 6 point extension for my harness.

Next up on the list of things to do is a front splitter. The front end is getting extremely light over 160km/h, and this has always been a project I have wanted to try. 

More photos to come soon

Where'd you get your suspension gear from?

All of it was from ebay. Resonably priced too!

Love the linear power curve Eric!  Hopefully the Gouky ECU will be reliable enough to bring to Wakefiled, can't wait for some passenger laps.

I will have to upload some photos soon, but the poly bushes are in and the difference is AMAZING! The car rides 10x better and steering feels a lot sharper. 

In other news I finally took it down the 1/4 Mile. 

I managed a 12.905 at 175km/h. I dont really do drag racing much so a lot of it would be driver error. My target was a 12.5 so I wasnt too far off. 

My times climbed after the supercharger heat soaked, so i imagine water injection will help keep things in check. Additionally my tyres are very nearly bald and first gear is pure wheel spin. 

With some 255's on the back, Gouky's ECU and water injection (Plus a serious amount of practice) I believe I can get it to go low 12's

I did surprise a lot of cars though, which was very exciting :P

I must join you for this one night. Will have a trailer at the ready as I expect to replicate your cv experience. What time does this kick off?

Small update before MTC

Brakes done and ready for a workout ;)


 
I also removed the supercharger to install a boost nipple. The factory manifold has no boost reference.
This was a nerveracking task as you cannot buy a replacement manifold, and I also didnt want any shavings entering the blower
 

 

 
I also purchased a gauge setup off Dave. Works really well! excellent features and the shift lights are a nice touch. 
 
I recorded a pull up to limiter in second gear to see what my peak boost was.


 
It was also good to confirm that my oil pressures are well above the minimums for the 2GR.

I've arrange a set of used A050's for the upcoming track day, hopefully I can make the most of them!

If you dont do a 1.10, best sell it and buy a push bike!

The only thing stopping me is the fleshy thing behind the steering wheel. My aim with street tyres was 1.13 - hopefully I can do a 1.12 or better now 

Last year I did a 1.16 with no alternator, hopefully the extra 40ish KW and tyres can get me there
