With the built bottom end I may throw some cams in and upgrade to a 4" exhaust or at least DP, 44mm or bigger WG and switch to UM software and I have a water/meth kit to install. Gabe says I should upgrade to a hybrid GT40 but Im happy with the 35. Currently power is mid 500 AWHP(21psi) and I'm happy with that because the car is still really quick with no lag and thats how I want to keep it since I want to hit some track events later in the year when I get home. When you start getting around the 700-750HP range then you got to worry about tranny,different clutch set up, and diffs for sure along with some raxels.
I'll keep you gents posted with turbo parts I'll have for sale when I upgrade.

Woo hoo that must be so much fun to drive , would love to see it fully specced, as I know you'll make it.

[schoona]

You are a machine Jay. So much big, quality work!

[Mr. JLT]

Thanks mate.

Would any one happen to know where I can get the tooling to remove/slide out 5mm the rear wheel bearing on the .:R. I have a puller to remove the rear drive shaft but I need the special tool to slide the outer bearing/hub assembly out about 5mm so I can get the 3 each 8mm bolts out that secure the brake dust sheild. So I can try to finish up the rear BBK.

[Big_M]

Sorry mate can't help with tooling.

What you going to run on rear as your BBK ?

This plus brembo 1 pot ebrake calipers and adapters are good to go now just want to double check with the brake dust sheild and then I can get some new ones cut.

[Mr. JLT]

So I'm on revision 4 of the mounting bracket (thanks Steve for the milling)and everything lines up and bolts up correctly, So now I can get some new brackets laser cut out of one piece of metal instead of 3. Now I'm waiting for some 315mm rotors to show up. So in the mean time I need to bead blast the brembo ebrakes and rebuild them and then paint all the rear brakes.
Got another set of rear brake lines fabbed up so I can run them from the 4 pot rear caliper through the rear trailing arms to the hard lines. Ohh and the shop foreman approved the upgrading in braking.

[alex g]

Nice jay , hydraulic handbrake?? Ohh maybe not as there probably plumbed in line with the main pots.

[McDub]

yeah what on earth is that for, some ghetto security mod?
