I'm impressed you can laugh about it

Just wait 'till it gets the ceramic coated manifold, the hybrid turbo, remap, etc

I don't think the 'box will cope though....

[Edit] and I didn't mention the size of the pipe as everyone says it's overkill, but the engine is so much less thrashy at revs, smoother, accelerates faster, responds much better, yada yada yada, and including the cat will (hopefully) stop any potential turbo overspeed problems.

Not everyone says it's overkill
And with the trans as long as it's in good shape , you'll no doubt be driving it with some mechanical sympathy......at least till the adaptions have maxed out, standard torque converter clutch will be a weak link until you get that sorted (depends on how heavy a map you want to run ) .
The hybrid chra will cope better with the 360 bearing rather than the standard bush as long as they've been precise on the vsr .
Intercooler?
I have a 3inch exhaust on mine , no problem running 26 psi and around 50% more power / torque than factory
Still average 10.5 litres per hundred, not driving miss daisy

Ha!

I had a decat pipe and sold it.
Too many restrictions in the stock system for this little black duck, and when a 3" 409SS system was on discount recently I pulled the pin and had them add the coating on the dump too. A touch over 2hrs from getting ramps out to packing up yesterday. A massive difference in time taken from the last exhaust I did, a full custom cut and weld mandrel system on the 130 including making my own dump by turning a taper swaging tool and forming the dump from 2.5" pipe.

Only 132,000km on the car and the 'box is in good shape. It'll be getting new fluid sometime this week too. It was supposed to get new engine mounts today but someone has had an attack of the lazies....
Eventually a TCT TC will happen.

You running an boost box for 26psi and who tuned your ecu?

Yes ,boost box , my tuner is in Scotland ( my brother lives next door to him )

I replaced the wiper blades. The metal or plastic bit that hold the rubber wiper. I had ordered a rear one and was sent a front one, the supplier gifted it to me and then sent the rear one. I bought another front one and now I have all new parts. However the rear wiper still does not wipe fully. I am waiting delivery of the rear arm to see if that will fix the problem.
