I love how the 200's are so rust free in SA!!!

Lucky man, I battle to just get my woman to sit with me when building my engine which is out of the car 😕

At least she enjoys drifting with me

Like your std RB25 turbo no lag

i must say the std RB feels great in that sense, instant power and litttle to no lag

@ Daniel - unfortunately you need to earn them you can't order them 😛

@Nirvash - Like rat said, spools fast. its a awesome little turbo, should do nicely on the new motor 😀

Ok so mini update... Just got home from Mary's house.

Old motor is out. new motor is ready to be put in. working from around 6:30pm till about half an hour ago.

Mary got tired so told her lets rather finish the install tomorrow. Its just me and her doing the swap. so just want to say I have the utmost respect for her.

Girls that likes cars FTMFW!
