Well, here's the replacement. Had it delivered this time, wasn't going to take any chances!:lol:
Arrived at 10 o'clock this morning, just as I was finishing breakfast.:mrgreen:
Having just spent the day in it I can honestly say that this thing is simply amazing. It is a basically thinly disguised GrpN car and you can feel it. The driving experience is something else. It's loud, the diffs make whining noises at low speeds and when making tight turns, uncomfy on the wrong surface (but surprisingly well damped on others). In short, raw.
Gearing is different to the UK spec cars but thanks to the uprated internals it happily sits at higher revs with no problem. Like a K20, it loves to be revved, and will happily rev into the high 7's smoothly without feeling strained at all which I find kind of unusual for a turbo'd motor but just it adds to the enjoyment.
It can be very civilised when you want it to be but put your right boot down and it just produces boost from nowhere and carries on all the way to redline. It is just simply manic.
Already had a few things fitted, some Defi gauges, a larger turbo inlet pipe, a straight through intake elbow that removes the resonator box in the wing and a Xenon headlamp upgrade.
Other mods to be fitted soon.
