LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally run out of talent in the esses... ive got it, ive got it, ive got it... **** sake!! lol Really good day considering the weather, to think the engine had 50 miles on it running in and then a few more running in laps today  First press of the loud pedal in 3rd was comical  Was nice to see a combination of D1 drivers and track day enthusiasts out at eth same time ROTFL!

I drove to the prostreetdrag series in the car with the intention of running a few 1/4 miles but blew out a turbo seal 500m from the entrance to Shakey
 Back home on a trailer and pushed the car into the garage  I spoke to Matt at Turbo Dynamics about rebuilding the 25/30's but it was going to be cheaper to buy a new pair of Garrett turbo's. After talking about application and power figures I have opted for the 2860-10, should be responsive enough on the 2.8 and make around 600bhp without being pushed too much. Spent yesterday stripping off the 25/30's and exhaust manifolds.  Tedious job but glad I did it now, leaves a little less work for Rob when he gets back The new Garrett 2860-10  Big thanks to Matty and Miguel at Newera, for supplying the Ikeya suspension arms, Miguel has been talking to the guys at Ikeya Formula on my behalf regarding settings etc. The Ikeya stuff is very well made and I am sure will improve the Taisan's handling.   Next on the list was to get a decent set of wheels with the correct off set, +22 for a direct fitment. Big thanks to Daytona for a swift transaction. Not sure about getting them painted black, think they look good in the bronze.   Next jobs are to re fit the turbos and remove the stoptech brakes that will be replaced with the Greddy six pots. Fit a set of 888's to the TE37's, remove the old suspension arms and fit the new Ikeya stuff, get the geometry sorted. Sure there is a lot more to do, should keep me busy for the bank holiday weekend Smokey

Cars looking great
Be really interested to know how you get on with the -10's. I have a pair which I'll be fitting to a RB30 in the future.
