No doubt this is the best "bang for buck" mod you can do
Totally stabilisers the back end, especially when taking off in full throttle from a stand still

lol yeh how funny is that Socket I got one half (PI Kit) and you got the other half (stage 3 pump). I was personally tossing up between the PI kits that sandwhich between the manifold vs the EOS manifold with intergrated injectors then thought for a couple of hundred extra ($300 to be exact) the EOS one is a nicer finish, easier install and eliminates chances of cracks and leaks. Looks great in Ian's engine bay. They had a special going throwing in the AI6 split second controller for free so its a saving of about $500 AUD on that itself.

In terms of stage 3 pump, I haven't got yet as $1500 sound pretty steap for 2x450 walbro pumps in a bucket, though fuelit does package it up nicely with a hobb switch so is a much nicer fitout. For the moment i'll just run less power and see how much my stage 2 fuelit can cope with

Anyways good luck

Have been wanting to get the EOS since Inky dropped one in his car

Fuel it had a group buy running in May that DrJ put me onto, so I splashed out on the stage 3 while the discount was running.
Unfortunately outta money again, so PI will have to wait

Thanks so much . Enjoyed watching this episode. Absolute rocket. Owner looked terrified and nearly pulled the Jesus handles out of the headliner haha
Not sure I'll ever make that type of power on twin turbos but I'd be happy with 600 hp. Need to install PI and finish tune then put it on the dyno to see what it will do.. Watch this space

Hit JD75 up. I got a good price. He can at least price match if not better anything you see online

Got rid of the red stripes on the engine cover
Back to stock CF

EB89 · 06-04-2016, 11:31 PM

Looks good, does the dinan looks yellow in person?

Wouldn't solid diff bushes achieve a similar effect?

Same... agree... took ages to get the stuff off. Used a mild nail polish remover to avoid damaging the CF finish.... mission accomplished

Dropping car back to Active tomorrow to have the LSD replaced.

Replacing it with the proper diff
The shipping paperwork lists it as a "gear type" but I thought these only came in a helical format??

Definitely the right part number MF-TRS-05E46A and seems to match the photos on the MF website, so might be a Taiwanese typo

Hopefully will get rid of the wheel lock at low speeds and the vibration at high speeds.

Will let you know when I pick it up in a week or so
