Yup its a KO4 and its unmapped too.
I'm more into the handling side than figures.
I think I wouldn't find it too difficult to keep up with a mapped LCR on the twisties with my new set up.
I'm sure well find out soon enough;)

The 52 plate yellow one I played with last night would be up for it for sure :). Would your horns be on or off though?

Excellent to see the amount of work your going to on the handling before doing anything power wise.


Also good to see someone doing it themselves too, I've had a bit a play with mine changing the clutch and rear beam/bushes on the garage floor, saves so much money and give you a nice sense of achievement when it’s back together too! :)

I'd be interested in hearing any hints and tips for changing the rear bushes as I believe these can be a pain in the ass.
Cheers
If I had the money time and equipment this would be done alot quicker but i also have other hobbies that take up alot of time and money also.

If your looking for ways to start I'd say concentrate on a specific area you want to improve first then move onto the next one. I started with the breathing of the engine, CAI, forge hoses then FMIC and now have moved onto the handling as you can see. Once that is sorted I will perhaps get a 3" DP and remap. But to me handling is way way more important than power. Who Norris crashed his EVO the last time there was a guy all over him in the corners (due to being a better driver and a better handling car, IMO) but in the straight bits Norris was walking away from him. I would rather make a fool of someone in the corners and see them walk away on the straight than vise versa.
Just my opinion though, there are others.
