I have spent a little bit of money ( ) on the old girl in the past 6 months so I thought i'd post up some pics.















Recent modifications

-17inch RSGT shadow chrome rims with shit maxxis tyres (bob jane special)
-Anodised front mounted EVO 5 intercooler sourced from NZ
-EVO 3 510cc yellow top injectors
-Bosch 500Hp fuel pump
-Full power steering conversion
-Apexi rev/speed metre
-Alpine 6inch splits
-custom plates

Fully tuned and on the dyno it produced a lazy 203KW at the wheels @19psi. I was pretty disappointed as it should be producing over 220 at the boost level. There is a restriction somewhere because the power tapers off between 6 and 7000rpm.

Anyway, on the rev/speed metre in produced a 0-160km/h time of 10.51 sec and a 2.48sec time from 80-120km/h in third gear.

Future Mods

-More boost
-Adjustable cam gears
-Rear disk brake setup
-colour coded front/rear bumpers and possibly a full fibremaster bodykit
-super sticky tyres
-recaro seats

I hope to have around 230-240kw's at the wheels by the end of the year and give it a good run down the drag strip over in the eastern states (no drag strip in SA currently).

Hope you like it.

nice lovin it man. what turbo are you using?
cheers
Dave

Evo 85, well done, mine produced the same power at 18 psi but now runs 22psi on overshoot for 4 seconds!

Makes for a hell of a ride!

PS: Lol @ spell check, it doesn't even know what a "Cordia" is.

*drool* very well done! the splits look mean! whats the sound like... ... i also like the secondary head where the tape deck was... equalizer?

i had a guy at autobarn convince me splits were the best thing since sliced bread but i have never truely been happy with em... i got pioneer ones though.. maybe alpine ones are better

looking good champ! you really need to get that thing down the 1/4, Tis good to know there are other people out there equally obsessed about thier mid 80's fwd jap sports cars

Thanks for the positive comments guys! The car was stock as a rock when i purchased it off a female owner back in 1998. There is hardly a single part of this car that i haven't replaced or enhanced in one way or another, so it has come a long way in the 9 years of ownership.



Nup, no equaliser. Apexi boost controller on the top and Apexi rev/speed metre on the bottom.

The splits are the Alpine type 'S' which are only running off the headunit. I have had Pioneer and Kenwood speakers in the past but the Alpines are by far the best speakers that i have ever purchased.




The sad thing is, I could have purchased an evo 8 or 9 with the money i have spent on this car!

Anyway, considering my front tyres are literally missing chunks of rubber, when I purchase a new set (semi-slicks ), I am definately keen for a 1/4 run.

Sweet EVO, i'll get Bitza out aswell, just let me know!

Pretty hard when there is no AIR!

Thanks mate just trying to compeer my specs to u specs to see what sort of power I am looking at it’s about to go on a dyno any day now
ps Love you car looks mean as wary nice work

Well, finally I have performed the magna rear disc conversion, with DBA slotted rotors, braided lines and bendix ultimate pads. I also replaced the whole rear end (axle beam and swaybar) as I sheared off a nut inside the hub and a wheel fell off!!!!



I also added a 63mm throttle body elbow which has given me a few more KW's. I hope to do a dyno power run this week and post it up...



I decided to take a few photos today when the sun was out...hope you enjoy!

wicked

top quality.

so when's it in fast 4s?

I had the opportunity to give the Cordia a dyno run today now that I have hopefully ironed out all the problems and headfvcks... 33 degrees in Adelaide proved a bit warm to extract the most out of it, so I could only run 18psi instead of a potential 22 pounds....



I said before the run that I am not heading out tonight unless it makes at least 200...so, it looks like I am heading out...just...hehe

Well done.................nice figures.

nice work looks awsome mate well done
