You can have one as long as you don't ask how much they cost to run

Look awesome from a high photo shot. Would you not do the cooler a darker colour?

Decided to put my 3/4 size plate on the rear, looks better IMO

As you may know, I'm suffering from a boost leak at the moment so with a new metal Recirc, I have booked in for mapping on 5th January. Can't wait to get it on the rollers and get some feedback as I haven't touched the car tuning wise.

Few pics with Sean's S14a from the recent JDM Collective meet:

thats the problem with evo owners, whatever they tell you bhp wise you automatically have to knock off 50bhp for a more accurate figure.

Well that'd make 350bhp, dumb ass.

If you took time read the post, my current recirc is leaking and I suspect it was mapped to that leaking recirc by previous owner. When I put my new recirc on, I was seeing .25bar overboost so naturally, the car will need a remap with new recirc on and a proper set up.

Regarding the figure, it should make between 380bhp-400bhp with this set up but rather than quote 400bhp and have people jumping up and down if it makes less, I thought I'd quote a lower figure.

I'll be surprised if it doesn't make the magic 400/400 numbers. A lot of the big bhp owners on mlr say that it's the prefect amount for a road car.

Update:

Few little jobs done this weekend. Got this "Ralli-Art" oil filler cap from Eight Speed. They were listed as faulty so had to bodge it up. Originally, it sat like this:

So once I trimmed the fork housing down, I managed to get it to fit. Job done :smthumbup

Also got this polished manifold cover for a bargain so chucked that on to replace the crappy old one:

Also got a few pics with my mates S14a and 350z:

EXCUSE THE CRAPPY QUALITY PICS!

What sort of bhp gains are you expecting from the oil cap??

Should give him at least 5bhp as he can run higher oil pressure to the fan shroud

10bhp from a genuine one but these Ralli-Fart one's add only 6bhp.
