Sekel's Turbo .:R Project

Hey guys,

After many mods, I have finally decided to go FI. Just dropped off the car @ Wentworth Motorsports today to get the stage 2 C2 kit installed, should be done by next week. Can't wait to get it back! I will post a review when I get it back.

Here are some progress pics of my car :)

Semi-stock with Euro tails and Milltek



After wheels




Osir carbon parts added




Thanks to Ben for this pic


Shaved sidemarkers



Dropped it off today!

For now I have to drive my gf's 8 on the right..not bad i guess :P


Hopefully I can somewhat compare it to this big guy back home :beer:



So yeah, cannot wait to give you guys feedback. Also looking forward for suggestions or thoughts from all of you!

Do you attend any of the local meets? I would love to see this monster in person.

you won't be sorry you went with c2, I've got a stg 2 turbo bunny and when stuff has gone wrong they've had my back. Not to mention an extra 100hp was nice. Trust me when boosting an n/a engine you will have a few quirks pop up but Chris is real good at making sure they get ironed out. Just hoping the idle is a little smoother than on the 2.5T but I have yet to see a perfectly idling dub on large injectors.

Not really, I attended one sometime ago.. Just let me know of the next one that's coming up and I'll pay a visit!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure a few problems are going to arise, but am ready for them.. What type of quirks have you had on your 2.5T?

hahaha bisa aja lo.. skarang kayaknya harga lagi oke bgt man, soalnya harga mobil lagi ancur gila2an.. if anything, maybe look into the new ones.. ada beberapa dealerships masi in stock, tapi dikit.. technically used car prices malahan lagi naik, but u can still get one sekitar low 20k..

iya man 250 rada kurang hehe.. gw waktu itu beli nov '07 sekitar 30k..

sick congrats. gt35 here we come. my buddy has an r and he is buying the c2 kit. he cant decide if he wants stage 1 or stage 2. if u dont mind me asking what r they charging u for install? i know a guy out here paid 12k with kit and install. but i guess if u have c2 install it they only charge u 750 for the install. instead of 3k.

it's definitely a special car. you hear all these mixed reviews and even some criticisms about it, but when you actually drive you realize why this car has made a true mark in automotive history

in other words, it's an awesome car! and believe it or not, a pretty good daily driver.
