High octane fuel costs around $1.85 / liter (converted to AUD) here in Hungary. The avarage wage is around $510/month. If I want to fill up the Starion's fuel tank I leave half of my monthly income at the gas station..

... Can a JA sensor be used with a change to the plug? How can one test a sensor works properly other than trial & error? Has anyone ever pulled apart a JB one and repaired it? I had problems with my MAP sensor in the past on my car, but I wanted to swap the other way around and I don't think i...

And what if I make a removable console for this so it can be removed from the dump pipe if I have to remove the gearbox? It souldn't be too hard and it should work, right?

Hmm, great work, you just inspired me with your dump pipe fixing method :)

I got a TC05 today, so hurraaay :D

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I need some info and this seemed the right place to ask :) Could the TC05-12a provide 10 psi boost from 2500 to 5500-6000 on a stock engine? The same turbo did 10psi from 3500 in my car, but you have to try it :) I would try it if I had a working TC05 :) I have p...

The funny thing is, it would be cheaper to buy your turbo and get it delivered to Hungary via sea mail than reco my current turbo. Plus the fact that no one seems to sell TC06 here... I'm seriously considering this now.

Holy shit, working TC06 for 100$? I'm almost tempted to buy it, how much does it weigh? Sea mail FTW :D

Krorz... Looks great! What do you do for a job? Thanks all for the comments! I have a few jobs, mostly related to computers. One of my jobs is at a small film studio. I do the graphics, video and sound editing. I build and maintain their computers too. (Right now I have to fully reinstall their mai...

I know, I just had to share that picture :)

Fyi those Advan rims are extremely rare! I had a set on my Ex Lancer, and they were used on the rally cars of the period. They weight stuff all and extremely strong. If you have a set hold on to them :wink: Lookng good mate :D Not sure if it helps, but here is a pic of the rims. :beer http://i410.p...

Why is it that my car always looks better on the computer than in real life? Take this picture for example. I added a little contrast and it almost looks like new paint(don't look at the colour variations :D)

how long did that take you? I don't know exactly. I didn't have all the pictures and data I wanted to use, so this started as a little experiment, I tried a lot of things along the way which slowed things down. I would say making the wheel and tire took a few hours but it could have been much faste...

Little more progress:
