Yep...have been keeping all the stock stuff for whenever the time comes to sell

And thanks for the advice. That's the whole plan of doing it in two stages....only because this is the fastest car I've ever owned and really I should get used to the power first. Even last night I was experimenting with TC and trying to get used to the whole controlled skid thing. I think 300s a good beginner spot to start off with and as mentioned in another thread, we are really spoilt for power these days. (I'm sure I could get wheelspin if I go back to 245s lol)

The other point is BFYB and ROI as Steve said lol....(Used Xcal 3 + F6 Core + F6 Injectors + Tune + Second Hand surge = $2000-$2200 = with my plaz turbo side already bought 290-310rwkw) then to go up to 350-360 you need Exhaust, Wastegate Mod/actuator, Turbo, 1000cc, possible valve springs, proper cooler, retune = $8000+ (stuff done @ MT)....so 4 times the amount to get an additional 50-60rwkw?

I obviously need a better job or less debt, before I can consider a super package.

P.S. you know Mao? (I think that's how you spell his name)....used to take my stagea to him from time to time. Hooked me up with all the cheap OEM parts (even though he specialises in evo/wrx). funny dude too...

oh snap!

I thought it was some old white dude who did the main tuning?

I did get a little jipped one time...had an Apexi SITC and the guy said "don't put anymore timing in or it will go be bad"....pressed each button thing and all were set to 0 lol

Lol no more timing ?

When I bought my FD I found out it had a tune by his workshop .... Got it retuned straight away by Ovaboost, they immediately took 9 degrees of timing out and it made a lot more power haha

They also charged a prev owner of my car $750 to fit a fan controller, hoses (supplied by customer), and a coolant flush. Biggest scammers

lol....yep. essentially just a box with some green circles lit up (or they might have been blue, cant remember).

It looked real purrdy...........in my glovebox :P

To be fair though, I had a different experience. He would always under charge me for work done. It was nothing tuning wise, but more installing stuff and diagnosing issues and basically threw in free labour every now and then (I.e. installing coil packs, installing AFM and little things).

As you might have read already I done my Flex plate last night at Motorplex.

Anybody know where I can get it fixed around O'conner and surrounding areas?

Or are my only options to put it on a flat bed and send it to MT/XFT?

But isn't that what you want? Have them stand out. I reckon it is best to keep them red.
