When you say your car is daily driven are we talking like a 40 mile round trip to work 5 days a week or its just street legal?

![]() Its also not 'just' street legal. It has the (turbo) power on the official vehicles papers! Furthermore I do track days, runs several laps Nurburgring (15 miles for just 1 lap) and drive to all european drag day events on its own wheels and in germany at sustained speeds of well over 100 mph on the autobahn. So the car has a worse life than when it would be daily driven ![]() |

I know you never said it was a DD, I just wanted clarification on how driveable it is, off the track, seems its very much so...

Ah, yes, its remarkably drivable: I can drive in 3rd gear 1100-1200 rpm and power on without hesitation.
That's a bit of EFI tuning as well though I must confess ![]() |

I'm STILL getting together all my EFI bits, and I can't wait to get that kind of driveabillity, my dual kads are the suck... but they were always a stop gap solution until I got the EFI together...
I SO badly want to open the case up do some oil mods, and make the engine bigger... You're car has always been one of my favorites!
