It might be hard to read but that graph says
160rwkw @ 2,500rpm 250rwkw @ 3,500rpm 360rwkw @ 4,000rpm 420rwkw @ 4,500rpm Then over 420rwkw from 4,500 - 5,700 (rev limit) What do you call REAL power?

I was not able to get them to fit the offset.
I would have liked them but these ones came up at the right price so i grabbed them instead.

A step down form my 8.5" [ previous rims but not much choice i'm afraid.

Old istons and rods (pistons done 2,000km rods are brand new in sealed packets)
Will be for sale in the comming weeks, so if you are interested keep your eyes peeled. .

I'd just like to say this car looks insane in the flesh. Yesterday it was parked around the corner from my house outside Pyroay's mechanics house. I'd read about it before in a few articles but to see it in the flesh, it was just amazing.
I had to explain to the missus why i stopped to look at it when we went for a walk haha Wonderful job on it (y) |

Thanks.
For those who wondered, it was a smashed valve guide that caused the lower performance figures. smashed the skirt of no 6 piston. now replaced and all going well.

Ahh good to hear Aaron!
Any explanation or theory as to why or just because?

Not really, it has only happend twice in the time my guy has worked on turbo cars (about 15yrs).
the other one was a VL, it is an uncommon part to go, but i tend to test the boundry's since mine is put under pretty harsh conditions. I just got back from national SQ finals which saw 17hrs driving with aidcon on full towing a 1.6ton box trailer on a 28degree day.

Good to see it is back to normal. Did it need a new piston?

Yes it needed a new piston.
I normally keep one handy just in case, as it’s a 6 week lead time from the US. Car just ticked over 200,000km. almost 100,000 of them with the turbo.
