In With The New











With all the race car projects on the go, one build that has sliped under the radar is the work truck that is currently in the build. So to make way for this the Trusty BT50 has to move to a new home. With just over 30,000km on the clock, in the year we have owned it, it has been faultless. With the full service history, and lots of extras including a DP chip to boost performance, This truck is a great for someone after a reliable and comfortable work ute.

Badass Bugeye @ Superlap




In the weeks leading upto Superlap we worked around the clock putting together Connors 2001 WRX,


It received a full rebuild, inc a fresh 2.5L race engine, with a Garret GT30/40 Hybrid Turbo,


Haltech PS1000, and Racepak Dash.


The car only just made it to Superlap in time for some practise on thursday.


We worked all night, running the car in, and completing final touches.


At 9:00am on Thursday morning we rolled it off the dyno and straight onto the car trailer.


pushing 315kw at the wheels and 580nm of torque on a mild tune.


Connor managed 1:47, which we were quite happy with, as the car had never been tested. The car still has some teething issues which we are working on so we can be back out on the track in the next few weeks for our tackday.

Helping get the car to this time, was a freshened up 2.3L engine, sporting a GT30/76R turbo. In the suspension department, things were improved with a set of Cusco Zero 3X coilovers.


Plaining has began to be faster for next years Superlap, with a 39 the target for this daily driven Evo.

The Cyber Evo, showed the world they are still the fatstest, but they had to fight for it, as The Sierra Sierra Team from the US put up a big fight, and held the fastest lap for quite a while.
