Still waiting on T61 Supra to come back so we can race that and get a clip.
Will have some nice incar footage of the black FD vs Me coming soon from black FD point of view...raced on a twisty road so not exactly high speed. Will get some 4th and 5th gear pulls on the motor way soon.

22psi, Dyno Dynamics 130ramp rate. I think the turbos maxed out, tried to increase boost more but it would just taper off and not increase....I have so much fuel left to use too. Im happy, 4th gear is totaly mental...havent got to 5th yet.

Should have some clips up soon of some short races with a friends 470whp FD.

Clips are coming soon....unfortunatly i did not film them, the black FD did. Im waiting for him to upload them. We did 4 runs I think....he got the jump every time, eager to get a head start I suppose.

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for comments.

Cool Vids Doc, keep em coming!:driving
Just one question do the lights ever change from green over there, here in the U.K we would have had to stop at every set!:Grrr

Thank you all...to those who have subscribed I have added you all as friends.

Next set of clips I will film with my camera, I get better sound and clear quality with mine as you can see from the screaming RX7 vid. We are going to race on the motor way next so that we can pull to the end of 4th.

Im also going to do a little road tuneing for 1st 2nd and 3rd as they are under different load getting the weight of the car up to speed, tuneing 4th on the dyno is all good but a road tune for the other gears is better as the load is the weight of the car and not the dyno.

As you can see 4th gear is insane, the last clip where I pull infront to clear a car in my lane I change to 4th and just keep going. He backed off after I passed him and he was still doing about 160kph while I shot off into the distance.

Once I have the first 3 gears tweaked I think traction is going to be a problem. Also got to tweak the boost controllers response a little.

Yea they do, they sit on red for bloody hours. That road we were on has a main flow of traffic so the lights only turn red when cars from intersecting roads want to enter.
