The car feels a lot more aggressive now since the map, and sounds it too. Pulling in 3rd gear really pulls you back in your seat. Need to get the other half to drive it so I can feel what it's like from the other seat lol. I'm afraid I might have the bug.

Words don't break the bank, anything else evo related does lol. Awesome vid!

No, only the 9s did as far as I'm aware. 10.5 is standard on the MR 8MR p/n = 49378-1560 (TD05HR-16G6-10.5T) GSR = TD05HR-16G6-10.5T or TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T (Ti Alloy option) RS = 6MT:TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T or 5MT:TD05HRA-16G6-9.8T Nozzle Area (cm2) = 10.5 or 9.8 (RS-5speed) Compressor 16G6 =...

No, was just in conversation about mine. Seems it has had the turbo replaced with an Evo 6 part, but it's a 10.5 so virtually the same besides being double and not single flapper. I don't think the previous owner realised. The upshot is it doesn't look too old, however you can see it tailing off...

Yeah but at least your car is imported and box fresh. I have no idea why that turbo is on this car lol. I messaged Ant earlier and he thinks as do I that it might have had an 80 series on it at some point and put back to stock. Anyway, the numbers and how it drives are what's important!

Oh, that's only at 1.6 bar. Told him not to thrash this turbo as not sure how old it is now lol. Don't feel so bad about it now, though. Just means I've got an excuse to go bigger :smiley:. On low boost mode it's making 340bhp, so stock essentially. P.S flames.

Just got back from Dynotech. My actuator had seen better days so had been overboosting a bit, so replaced that naturally. Also the turbo has been replaced at some point, but not the right one. It's a 6 GSR, same 10.5 size and you can only really tell by the ID plate, but plan on getting that...

Top trumps :p (don't think this one gets driven much either!)

Get the geo done and car checked over by a specialist.

Tired? compared to what? Might be the shocks, they don't tend to last long. Change all the lower bushes

That's nuts!

Does happen on occasion, but once you've made that mistake - you don't do it again. A long while ago a friend of mine bought an 200SX S14 that had very low mileage, only a couple of owners. It was a really, really nice example for the time. Only when he came to sell it, someone told him it had...

Wednesday is stage one day \o/

Yeah, power delivery does make a big difference. That said, mine has lag and still has a slightly better book time than these. Get it mapped!

Reported for racism

That Pulsar must be one of the best kept left in the UK surely? The FQ360 seems cheap tbh

My body is ready

I would get it bore scoped, you're going to have some scoring at the very least now. At the very least compression test. They're pretty resilient in truth, though. Mine ate chunks of chicken mesh and barely lost any compression lol Edit: just noticed this is the Cooper S, thought it was a...

if it's on overrun it could be valve stem seals.

I dunno, I'll use my Beadle hand

Yeah, Bob at Dynotech said they could get Miltek in no problem but even with a decat I doubt it would be much if any louder than the super dragger. Don't get me wrong, the car is not quiet even with the cat in currently. If you're going to fit a jap can, you might as well do it properly lol

Getting a Nurspec and decat next month with the map. Having a bit of an early midlife crisis, perhaps. I want it loud.

Yeah, old skool turbo lag is the best.

In December when the finance is due on this x34 lol ;D

f**k that I'm waiting for 21:9 variants. 144Hz 4K is still a pipe dream even with SLI, it's the HDR aspect I'm wanting to try

Using the Strix now, waiting on the waterblock :smile: Although, the cooler on this thing for an air cooler is monolithic. Haven't seen above 65c, and with a custom curve that's not the least bit intrusive (still practically silent), haven't seen above 55c It's to be expected, it's not based...

Bet the power delivery isn't anywhere near as brutal as some cars. I mean after all, it was built post 2010.

You could use that line to sum up any Japanese hot hatch /performance car to be fair lol

Wondered what happened to this!

Looks like it was worth a visit
