At long last the car is in having the SC, injectors and fuel pump fitted. Woohoo!
Can’t wait to get it back - hopefully later this week... but that depends on how soon Delicious can do the tune for it

So here we are - 3 months and a few happy, fast km’s later.
Gotta say I’m super happy I went with the Sprintex kit (and the SPS version too). On normal fuel it’s great, and apart from a bit of an increase in fuel consumption no downsides thus far. On ethanol it’s just 25% more fun! I know I’m really far from being the first guy to review any of these kits, but I will say this; The 86 looks good, has great handling and light weight... but we all know it’s pretty slow as stock. And so does every Audi, bmw and gti driver out there. Having a car that now has some extra “go” to match the “show” is just a cool feeling. Doesn’t matter that I don’t really race other people (I got his kit for my own enjoyment so really don’t care too much about what other people think) - but knowing I now have a car that can take off from the lights with a little pace, or push hard out of a corner or two, or overtake someone with ease all just makes my motoring experience with the 86 better. Personally I think it’s a great improvement and I can highly recommend it. I must also say that delicious tuning is awesome - and that’s probably a big reason I’m loving the kit too

You know how happy I am with what I've got, but it's different strokes, etc... There's more than one way to skin a cat. After the amazing reliability I've had, I've decided to go for a bit more grunt. Either a slightly smaller pulley (lots of scope there) or ethanol which I know niks about. I'll do some more research then decide which. I'm looking for about 10% more, that's all. See you around. Red Star Raceway is open on Sunday, so I'm considering doing some testing of my latest camber changes before Michelin Cup at Zwartkops in March.

Personally I like the ethanol option if you only want a little more because it also has some cooling benefits (& knock etc)... however, getting supply is t always easy where we live. That said if you don’t mind ordering a 200l drum they’ll deliver for free (which is what I did last time). Then you can use it for your track days etc and normal fuel for road driving All this being said I should really get my ass out to a track day now and have a bit of fun!
