Time for a update I think.

First of I had it mapped again by mark shead because I added a bigger exhaust cam, mark had to add some more fuel on top end which told him it will have a bit more power and it does hold onto the power longer now.
I also had a low boost switch added and got the laugh control working now.

I've also had some powder coating done under the bonnet to do away with all the polish look, I will be changing the pipes to black aswell at some point.

I've also changed the escort rear arb for a standard 3dr arb and put some 170lbs springs on the rear to get it driving better.

This is how it sits

On track I found I had way to much over steer. As soon as I was turning in the back end would step out, spoke with Ronnie and he said it sounds to stiff with 225lbs springs and escort arb.
He was using standard 3dr arb and 180lbs springs on his 3dr, so thought I'll give it a try

Nice!

Will be a proper weapon once the new turbo and box are in!

I really rate MT's stuff, they fit spot on with NO messing about! I've got his 330mm front brake setup and that fitted straight on, the only kit I've ever fitted that I've not had to piss about with to get right.

Got his rear Supra diff cover to go on mine as well but just not had the time to do it

Yeah his stuff is top quality and he takes his time at making everything fits spot on.
