exactly why i use it :D
I will upgrade the heat transfer for it and the pump
but i will never get rid of it.

it should get better when combined with water/methenol injection :D

Bennie, THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR MORE BOOST AND SEXYNESS!

Well here are the pics as promised :D

I had a few troubles. The guy that had the car before me replaced a timing belt............................ and forgot to do up the crank bolt.....The balancer came loose, tore shit out of the key and the slot in the crank.....so i need a new crank......

But luckily i have 3 i prepared earlier :D so a rebuild it is but not what i need right now on apprentice wages...

Enough sorrow, here are the pictures!

My old Flywheel

Replace by this GENUINE JDM STi Lightened item

Looks sweet.. I'd have the up-pipe, turbo exhaust housing and dump pipe ceramic coated while they're out.. it will keep those under bonnet temps down :)

Looks good and with the rebuild and more boost will go pretty well too :-)

How do you find the RA gearbox - I had the same setup (including the V2 STi RA motor) in my old RS Liberty wagon - I loved the short gearing - made the car go like a scalded cat. In fact I loved the gearing so much I have a V5 STi RA box with almost identical gear ratios for my Rotary powered Brumby.

Most people with these boxes hate them - reckon they rev too high at highway speeds - but I could live with 3300rpm at 110kmh - right on boost :-)

What diff ratio are you running - should be 3.9 - and what size tyres do you have ? I had 215/40/18 - which is almost exactly the same overall diameter as the standard 205/60/15
