Got my front cut today.

Looks like the gti gear is sold.

Danidad and Rising Star came around today and helped me build some shelving (read as I was supervisor). Will give me HEAPS more room in the garage.

I'm dead keen to get this sorted asap.

Eh? He means he just sold his Suzuki GTi gear and bought a starlet halfcut.

I've got a high flowed CT9 for it. Remember the pics of it I posted when I was trying to fit it to the gti? Got some bloody huge wastegate actuator on it. Bro reckons that the factory one crept above 10psi. When he got it high flowed they had to fit the HUGE wastegate actuator to stop it from creeping. This turbo produced 25 psi, apparently. Should be plenty enough to get the mini moving along.

So the turbo and maybe some other bolt ons.
