I like the power, the lightweight feel, but not the wagon look. I think my not-so-near future toy car will be a lightweight RWD. I will make it so! And Turbo!

Ian's SR20 is pretty much stock right? It should have awesome low end and the boost comes very early (this is one thing best about stock settings) :driver:

I don't know what you mean by stock. He has R32 brakes, GTIr servo and engine, custom shafts, rojak everything.

Hardly stock!

4k boost kicks in hard. Wheel spin gila babi hard.

Quick update, just got my car back from top overhaul. Apparently, piston ring was out, the head got minor leak and conrod bearings was not in a good shape. So piston rings and conrod bearings changed to stock mitsu and head was skim. Upgraded the stock valves and springs to 2.0 set. Can't wait for the car to run in so that I can test it out. :driver:

Don't pussy foot your run-in. I think I've stressed this a dozen times already. Don't red-line like crazy but don't be overly gentle. You need those piston rings nice and free, not tight. Once run-in it'll forever be like that.

I don't know what dirty thing you're referring to :thefinger: but I honestly doubt he can run in piston rings to the extent it's loose.


Sanekit : go highway spring here and there and maintain 140/150km/h as much as possible. Vary your speed between 110 to 150 and get those revs moving up and down but don't go and floor it hard. Let the speed/revs catch up to your expectations. Meaning be gentle. Don't floor it just because you need it to go faster or slower or stuff like that.
