Just took the little minx out for a good time with my little friend WOT; the right foot!

There is nothing quite like the instant response and "holy shit I forgot how fast thing is" of a proper sequential turbo system working at its best. It really is a case of warping from the place you were to the place you are looking at, all with the howl and flames of the rotary dragon!

The rz brakes were fitted and the car MOTed by the guys at cc motors. They are a lovely bunch and well into their fast cars. Highly recommended!

The brakes have really made a difference to the confidence of the car and should be great on track! First test is on the 4th April. Can't wait.

Car is pretty much done now apart from some cosmetic stuff. I know a car can never truly be finished but it's time to leave it alone and enjoy it for the summer (if we ever get one!)

See you all at the next meet!

Yep I know what you mean Chris, I'm hoping I didnt make the wrong decision swapping to single. Just reckon it will be a different style of driving !!

Nice work with the brakes though

I loved my s14 single mate and also my mates s15 big single. It certainly feels more powerful because it comes in all at once. The sequential system is smooth that it doesn't feel as fast and then you look at the speedo!

I will let you have a go in mine as soon as its got its new tyres on and have the four wheel alignment done then you can see for yourself what the single is like. ....I am pleased with the performance but I still haven't been able to push it too much as the tyre are shot and the road are so greasy. ...it feels more urgent than the twin turbo set up but I do agree that the twin set up is very smooth in its delivery where as tthis is a big surge. ....

The only single rex I've driven is doms and I loved the surge in power and the noise of the wastegate!
