it is tuned, but i want to get it a bigger exhaust and a few other things need fixing up first, my mates conviced me to just go straight to a 3.5 exhaust instead of going to a 3 inch then upgrading again in 2 years for a bigger one when i put a hks t51r on the side

Interesting.. not sure how a 3 1/2 will go. I had a 3" on my Barra and I felt it would have been better with a 2 1/2" It had no torque under 3000rpm. But I was auto yours being manual will help. If yours is manual it should be running 170+rwkw.

I think something is restricting yours My car ran 99.86MPH and it was auto and that auto was stuffed.
So yours being manual running 91 something is up...

well on my trip to nsw a few oppertunities have come up and it looks like i'll be taking the mont off the road in the coming weeks, all started when trythis started telling me about a stock as a rock ef that his little brother was offered but his dad said no. needs and exhaust for a roady.

Now this would allow me to take my el off the road and do a few things without trying to rush and get the car back on the road, in the time off the road it will be getting

1. Radiator support replaced
2.motor and gearbox ripped out again
3. the driverside rear quarter straighted out so the door shuts properly
4.interiour completly stripped seats retrimmed black with burguny sticking and a tickford badge embroided into them
5. a respray with dark purple perl and gold fleck with a full newgel typhoon body kit
also hoping to be able to get the t56 and the 9" diff for it at the same time so when i get my open licence it's as simple as just dropping the atomic 998 motor and the turbo parts into the engine bay.



have also baught XYZ coilovers so they should be in next weekend


Cheers Mitch

Woah thats awesome Mitch, big turn of events :|

Will you be fitting the XYZs while the ELs still on the road?

I'm curious to know how they compare to a decent spring/shock combination.
