and most people are sheep that just follow what everyone else does. Granted there is a good reason why most people gravitate to doing things one way, generally because it gets the bulk of the results at a reasonable price. But where would we be if people just stuck with the status quo and didnt try new things??? we would be still using candles instead of light bulbs, that where.
I applaud xris perserverance for staying in there, although the CA is not the logical choice, at the end of it he will be able to sing "I did it my way" will you?

Hey but don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with doing it the simple way either... I just don't know how to do it the simple way, I never have, so I am cursed to be a pioneer. Somedays I really wish I could just do it the way everyone else does, but I go to do it that way and some voice in the back of my head says if you just change that little bit... I take it you are plauged with those same bloody voices :cry:

As do i, many people would have given up a long time ago, but hell, he kept pumping money into it and it's nearly there. It may not have been the best base, but at least he can munch people and yell out the window "it's CA, up ya, bitch", making them feel even lower.

I purchased a set of Tomei adjustable cam gears from japan, and put them in the other night. The car is now booked in with Racepace for next monday for him to play with the tune and to set the cam gears (thought it was about time i gave it to someone that knows what they are doing :lol:)

230kw is plenty for now. further down the track i may want to upgrade to a larger turbo but for now this will do.
