Full tune done today. YAY.
229ATW with 6200RPM rev limiter.
Have a couple minor issues with fuel and wastegate, but all tuned and ready to race.

Remember RSLC Canberra at the dyno day Alex? When Reg yelled out to Az to dump it? BANG! I just thought of that with this comment.


Good to see its back up and running Frank. Sorry I can't help you anymore with the blackboard. That power and that weight should be fairly punchy hey? Did you take it for a strap around the block again at night??????

I can just imagine the tearfull look on Franks face if something like that happened to him after this build. Haven't been on here in ages. Seems to be coming along pretty good!!!!! The website that is.

Jrod,

we've exchanged a few tearful phone calls every now and then between our builds.

Frank also came and visited and we spooned. You never come and visit. We never spoon anymore.


You need a fresh pair of my panties.

Thanks for all the kind words.
I was just stoked it held together on the dyno.
I asked for a very conservative tune because I didn't want a timebomb and it appears that is what I recieved.

Awesome news, Frank. Look forward to seeing vids/pics of it out at some of the tracks you QLDers get to enjoy (Morgan Park/Lakeside/Mt Cotton, etc)

There is a time attack event at Lakeside in a week or so but they are strict on noise out there so I can't see my car running there.

I know you are up in the hole of the north living the dream.
Let me know if you need me to pick your car up from Serge's mum's.
I don't drive the car on public roads anymore.........................I'm a good boy.

Many a tearful conversation has been had and I'm sure they won't be the last. This is the life of car modders.
I asked you to keep our business private, especially the spooning. At least we're not forking.

Yep, Lachlan tuned the car. No Matt's work there anymore.
I kinda figured that If Matt Spry is the alleged gun Subaru tuner in QLD then I'd probably be comfortable with going to his teacher for my tune. Lachy's a bit of a guru as you may well remember.
Not only does he tune but he is a gentleman, answers any question, and is quite the brainiac.

I don't know. Lachlan has had a few staff issues in the last few months.

I think he went to PITS didn't he?

On another note, awesome result Frank. Can't wait to see this thing in action.
You should join WRX Club of Qld, they do quite alot of track days and other fun things.

This morning at 2.30am I finished installing my fuel system and finished my dash in the hope of making it out to Morgan Park on Saturday.
To no avail as my tuner can't slot me in for a quicky.

Now I just have to find the short that keeps my brake lights on.
