Its a weekend / fun car so will be going for a fastroad/track car. Its also an "upgrade" from my 290bhp 200sx so ideally id like it to have a little more grunt and more dynamic handling. I took a lot of half measures in the 200sx to keep it comfortable for everyday driving but in the Rex I want to do it properly.

I love the sequential twins setup so ill just be making that breath a bit easier and should see around 330fwhp after my mapping session next week. that will be enough for now as the power is instant.

Handling wise APT have already done a good job uprating all the bushes to poly units and ll be upgrading the coilovers to track ones in the near future. The brakes will also be uprated with 2500s and better disks to start with, and Ksports if required for track.

Will hopefully see a lot of you at Snetterton this year when its all ready to rock.

Cheers,
Chris

No idea what you're on about Chris? You're damned right; without pictures this place would grind to a halt in about 10 minutes flat.

Lovely car Chris and would looks to be a cracking starting point.
