Injectors, Bigger Turb and Actuator are the plan at the moment. Traction control is through the Adaptronic computer, there is a wheel speed sensor or D/S Rear and P/S Front, and you adjust the % amount of slip, its all hooked up but I have yet to tune the traction and launch... want to get it rego'd and on the road before I really try to break it... plus I have to swap the diff centre over from the locker I have in there to the LSD centre so its a little more forgiving on the axles etc... lets see if it lasts, meant to be good for 250hp. -RUNNER'S- H Plated Mk1 4 Door 1300 14X6 Superlites H Plated MK2 RS2000 - Worked 2.1L Twin 2" SU's 13X7 Superltes -PROJECTS- MK1 2 Door CA18DET Street Car MK1 2 Door RB20DET Caged Race Monster #18

Got some new tyres coming which should add a bit of grip, at least until I get rego and wind the boost up ! Thanks for the positive feedback !

Rego has been delayed though in favour of attending Powercruise in the car ! Its something I have always wanted to do and this year the rules are such that you can enter without rego. Accepted paid up and ready to go have some fun.

Need to drop it from 3500rpm, will take a bit more experimenting.... Awesome launch though when you side step the clutch, and when you do this it hits super hard in 2nd too, as evidenced on the tarmac. Traction control works too, but did'nt get to find out its limits with the time I had today, did have it come on though when I flicked the switch and it does seem to work.
