Thought I would provide a little update for people who were interested in my GT4. After moving to Cheltenham it sadly gets used very very little, probably on average single figure mileage a week. However as the car is costing me next to nothing to keep I figure that there is no point in selling as the value of it is not great and replacement options would be limited.
Back in Spetemebr last year I had a FMIC fitted from an Evo 8 to aid cooling in the summer months and had a Link G3 fitted to the car, it is now running 1.1bar of boost and pulls very nicely. I am unsure on power figures but it had 290bhp at 0.9bar with the stock cooling system and ECU. The car now manages an amazing 26mpg on a run instead of 20mpg before the work.
Running costs are very low the only things I had to replace last year was the battery and a fuse to the battery which popped in the cold weather we had. I am sure that running cost would be a lot higher with extra mileage, you have to remember that this car is nearly 16 years old.
My friend recently bought himself a absolutely lovely E46 M3 recently and so we went for a drive, he was really surprised how little difference there was between the cars even to interesting speeds. He also admitted when drunk that when our cars were parked next to each other outside his flat he was disappointed that my car generated a lot more double takes and peers through the window.
Anyway less talking and more pictures.
EDIT here is how she sounds Noise
