wow its been a while since i read this post... and what is there to say really...

All i wanna know with regards to BHP.. is this...

What is the equivelant BHP per SMILE ...

For me it would be about how the car feels, as the IS200 charger doesnt add too many horses but adds huge amounts of smile!

I really wanna charge my GS... and this is looking as the best equivilant out there.. so will see how you get on over the coming months.. hopefully see the car and go from there..

Congratulations is all i can say really... and all i can say is i will be keeping my fingers crossed with regards to it being reliable and powerful!

Also .. could you PM me the rough figures for the conversion etc... need to start saving
TheDon


This is my dream that i wanna get to...

BTW has anyone else heard of Raptor Superchargers from australia?

I don't really know much about the Raptor chargers mate. All I can say is when you put the pedal to the metal she definitely goes!!!! With the minor improvements I have planned, hopefully it will only get better. Will PM you with details later. msn-wink.gif
Mr Mole
Your car is looking ace mate.
You sound well pleased with all the hard work that has gone into it.
And 19's all the way biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

18's for me if they are the darker ones. The wire ones just dont look like they cut it IMHO.

Hey Rup hows it going.? smile.gif just been reading the thread again from start to finish......been an absolute great read...been really good seeing the beast go through all the stages of development... biggrin.gif must admit that looking at the pics of the "19" `s and "18" `s id personally go for the smoked "18" styling kit alloys....
so what are your other plans to do to the beast..? also would be really good to see the beast again......

Keep up the good work matey.!! and as long as it puts a smile on your face every time you drive her then thats all that matters... biggrin.gif

Its been a while since I last posted. Happy New Year Everyone! smile.gif

@ Dazz - I've got improvements and further modifying in mind mate, just finding the time. ohmy.gif She still puts a smile on me face though. biggrin.gif

A little update, as the guys at the ace cafe meet would have seen I have started the install of my gauges. (pics to follow)

The Beast was suffering from the dreaded inner tyre wear which Tony could not recover because of the car being too low. So after some research I purchased the SPC adjustable bushes from the USA, quality of the product was of a good standard.

I popped to see Tony at WIM just before Christmas to have them fitted and the geometry re-set ( I didnt fancy fitting them on the driveway) and they have worked a treat.

Hopefully Tony will comment on the product and recovery. msn-wink.gif

If anyone wants to know where I got them from just send me a PM or if the mods don't mind I will attach the link.
