That sucks Trist, not good for their reputation at all. I take it you removed their stickers from your car...

Sorry to hear about your experience there Tristan. Did they offer at all to repair the damage or pay restitution?

The sway bars are great, I'm running 30mm front and it stiffned it up nicely.
Good to hear everything go fixed up.

Unless you will be doing heaps of track work, i would go for the adjustable Koni's. Although theTein's are awsome units, the ride will be harder.
Then again, knowing that you dont do things by halves, maybe the Teins are exactly what you need.

Well first things is First i have say a massive,
Thankyou to Chris and Theo and BLUEPOWER racing developments one for the entertainment i had while my car was there and then also the outstanding work that was done to my car. After some drama's and some poor results from previous tune's with I decided to take my car to Bluepower to get the tune Fixed once and for ALL !! My car was sat on the dyno and we checked through a few things changed the thermostat and tuning then began... each change that was made to the tune chris explained to me what was going on how it would improve the car in each area make it more driveable and making it a truly custom tune specificly for my car not just a generic tune tweaked to suit. Results, well not evan with the tune not nearly finished power was well above my previous record. After much massaging of the tune chris produced a few runs of above 500hp which totaly blew me away i was so extatic and consistant runs as well which goes to show that the gear that is on the car can perform very well time and time again.. The power reading was made with less boost than it had making 330rwkw on the previous tune. My problem now is chirs has found a few area's in which we can improve the results and i can't wait to get it back there with the improvements in place.. So after driving it for a day im blown away at how well it drive's and i can put my foot down and get the car going without having nothing and then bang just frying tyre's, which of course it can too but it is much more drivable mid range power is up immensly and its feels so much more responsive... So at this stage my can is running standard engine, standard clutch, standard diff, a plazmaman 800hp kit, process west surge tank, 60lb injectors, xforce exhaust. I just want to say a huge thanks again to Chris and Theo you guys have done an outstanding job i couldn't recomend you and higher.. Cheers Tristan Dyno sheet... ![]() just cause..... ![]()

This has been a very interesting build thread, and must comment on how amazing the car has come up. I know they look the goods from the factory but the few simple mods you have done make the ride look totally different.
I am a big believer in BPR also, Chris has done work on my previous ride and was most happy with the service. My next car will be going back there without doubt.
