Jealous :O
Nah not really. My ST is good enough for me, only thing I dislike about it is the torque steer.

Nice one Nick! Bet you cant wait to pick it up!

Yeah that looks excellent in white. Nice choice.

You would ... but a respray is never as good as factory (note: "never" is a slight exaggeration, you can get brilliant aftermarket paint if the painter puts in car-show levels of effort/detail, but it isn't ever going to happen in a situation like this).

Yeah the OEM orange peel is hard to replicate.

HG currently getting done, picking up next week.

Slow, drawn out process. But it ain't mine so to speak so have not been hassling, too much.

Rather crap that you need to cut the exhaust to get the rear muffler off. Really want loud cracks, pops to make my drive up the hill home sound like a rally stage. Hahahaha.

The COBB AccessPort is such a cool little device, i've been mucking about with it all week. I especially like the always on launch control! The datalogging is really quite good with the AP as well and when using a site like datazap.me it makes reviewing the logs real simple.

I noticed on the UK forums they have a hardon for Virtual Dyno, which i had never heard of before but seems rather interesting. There is a PC version & Android and it will produce a dyno chart based off a data log. Obviously its a "take it with a grain a salt" but as a comparison tool for your car and mods it seems fairly interesting.

You create a Car profile and enter in the weights, frontal area, drag coefficents and gear ratios, then load up your logs and it will plots a curve like a real dyno.

Here is one i made using COBB Stage 0 (Stock Perfomrance), COBB Stage 1 (10%+) and the Stratified Stage 1. I adjusted the dyno correction factor in Virtual Dyno so that the Stage 0 run matched my "real dyno run" i posted earlier in this thread and then overlayed the other runs.

The graphs really do feel right when compared against the butt dyno, the COBB Stage 1 is just a small, but noticeable improvement where as teh Stratified is just mental.



It does go good now though, i was really disappointed with the performance when i first got the car - not any more!

Big jump!

Got this in the garage tonight.



Took it for a quick spin then, rides firm up the hill in full sports mode (S + S susp). Scared the shit out of the son free revving it with a nice bang, crack.

No mods coming, it’s the nopics car. Well for the moment.

Win. Race mode + suspension in normal mode is my pick.

Nice one Nick. Geez that looks good in that colour combination and the blue callipers are the icing on the cake.
