4th gear or as close to a 1.0 transmission gear as possible.

So off the top of you head what would you recommend to be able to up the boost?

And I havent and wont esp until I got a boost gauge that is accurate, but for my skill level and first manual car this is plenty of machine for me right now.

assuming my upgrade list is near complete; does anyone have any recomendations for my first upgrade. I am not nesecarily looking for biggest hp increase but a good "base" upgrade that will help engine performance/longevity and give me a stepping stone for later upgrades.

Haha, after typing this I think I am asking too much from one upgrade but ill throw it out there anyway.

You just got the car.. I say just drive it and enjoy it for a while.

If it felt like 375hp to you then who cares about making more right now?

Absolutely good advice thanks. I meant down the road, I was getting way ahead of my wallet and skill. But I am a huge planner so I always try and plan my moves 5 or 10 steps down the road.

Maybe your right though about the suspension, the car does like to sit down when I really get on it. Maybe in a few months I should think about heavier springs.

Isn't this Justin's old car?

https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...-for-sale.html

Looks like Turbo Ted patched it up and sold it?

The interior appears to have the seats changed and a harness bar added, and the IC pipes are different, but it looks like the same car to me.

Yeah, there are way too many small details the same (breather in the engine bay for example) so I'd say it's the same car. Seems like the shop kept some of the better parts and put on originals.

I know it was another rennlister that sold the car due to an accident. At least that is what i was told. If i got another members car I would love to know exactly I got.
