Well to be honest I am in 2 minds on what to do with the car. As you know it's just a weekend car as I have my van for work during the week so it doesn't get used that much.
I had an email off Olly Clark last week with the quote for a stage 1 conversion. Now with the money quoted I have 2 options, get it done and turn an excellent car into something a little bit more special or keep the money in the bank and wait for a Hawkeye RA-R or a T25 Spec C to come along. There is a T25 Spec C for sale now but I think it's too soon to get rid of the Spec C for that.
I did get the car mapped by Racedynamix a couple of weeks ago and just had the MOT done and with the full service at RCM the car is pretty much flawless. A couple of small chips on the paintwork I need to get removed and a full detail is what I'll be getting done next.

Hello Buddy,
Basically it is an upgrade of basic parts, mainly:
Uprated fuel pump
Full straight throught exhaust
Induction kit
Exhaust manifold
3 port bost solenoid
Platinum spark plugs
Ecutek remap
Obviously the above list as well as labour and VAT it doesn't come cheap so I'm having a think before I commit to it.

Obviously rcm are amazing but you could do that lot yourself for a lot less:
Uprated fuel pump - not needed on spec c
Full straight throught exhaust -secondhand h&s or similar for £450
Induction kit -£125
Exhaust manifold - not needed
3 port bost solenoid- £50
Platinum spark plugs-£50
Ecutek remap - dynamic map tweek/ map again £100
Plus updated actuator £120 and labour to fit above bits

Cheers! Yes I have a backbox on it but obviously being from Japan it has to be below 96db to pass their equivalent of the MOT, it has the JASMA stamp on it. It's too quiet for me, at the minute so I have a Vortex on it's way....that should sort it out!
I really want a new Induction Kit as I'm not too happy with the other, when Duncan mapped it the MAF sensor was reading quite hot on tick over, I'd go back to the OEM air box but I'm thinking a bigger Induction Kit will rectify the problem. So once I've got all the parts I'll get it all fitted and get Duncan to give it a little tweek.

Been to Surrey Rolling Road today, also had a 3 port and a RCM induction kit fitted. Duncan was there to tweek the map as well. Think I'm going to have to go de-cat though.
Happy with the figures:

Good man you now it makes sense do you have a boost gauge in it mate ? if not get one and you wanna see it hit 1.7 bar i love the look and sound of the RCM induction kit but i dont like seeing it under the bonnet with a top mount loads of heat from that turbo on full chat 
good luck buddy
