ok so was up at track day performance (tdp.ie) all day today and got my geometery and suspension setup. its set to
2 1/2 neg camber on front
1 neg camber on the rear
slight toe out on both front and rear.

also got my hks evc plumbed in and set up, and got the power fc installed and mapped. so then it was time to hit the dynapack.

yellow is before the map and green is after mapping

oh and this is still with the standard turbo.

@ the hubs

Haha that some amount of torque for a standard turbo


My god shane thats some work you've done, did ya do it all yourself?

As for the wheels, im using 17x9.5's at the mo and for general road use i found
235/40/17's good, or mayb 235/45/17 for more comfort or to fill the arches a bit more.

For drifting mayb a 225/40/17 or 235/40/17, just keep the sidewall low!

Awsome car, thumbs up to ya, cant wait to see it finished!
