Small boring update, im fixing all the small things wrong with the car at the moment, so ive picked up new slave and master cylinders for the clutch. My clutch pedal has never been right since i bought the car, causing the pedal to drop almost to the floor on occaision which i have to put my foot behing and pull it out. Hopefully this should sort it and give me a nicer pedal feel as the clutch seems to be causing slight grinding in reverse gear only when warm. Also need to replace the lift reverse bracket on the gear stick with a new one as someone bent mine forcing it into reverse ages ago.

Im also FINALLY picking up my second seat on Saturday, also ordered my subframe yesterday and i got the other harness and side mounts here ready to rock. So finally i can have a passenger!

But im tempted not to put it in yet and remove all the sound deadening first. Pics as usual to follow.

Yeah its tough if i dont pull it out when i start driving, when i do its fine for a few days/weeks.

Yeah 15mm spacers on with no problems at all.

The reps are coming off now as im not that keen on them and prefer the superlegs.

Right, i have to say this wot box thing is probably the best mod ive bought for the car. Its turned the car from a quite quick car into an animal. I really need to get some vids of it, but as i still havent got my second seat its impossible to video!

If your thinking about getting one, dont, just buy it.

Its a great mod for any turbo setup danny, especially big turbos. Probably better suited for big turbos to stay on boost between gear changes.

They were on sale for $166 dollars.

Not anti lag.

Mine has launch control in the sense you can set the desired rpm limit in first and launch at that, and it was flat/WOT shifting. Hence the name WOT Box.

For people who dont know what flat shifting is, its gear changes without lifting the accelerator pedal whilst at WOT.

Some people just buy things for the sake of it not knowing what it is.
