His beaten up Tokyo drift mitsu FTO can get him there in 5 hours on 10 tanks of gas

it might not rain

Should probably strike that from the list. Let's not make promises we can't keep.

Apparently my new turbo diesel could do it on half a tank.

Give us some engine stats.

Appreciate the feedback the car is my first RWD/FR i have ever driven,completely different experience and can't beat value for money for modern RWD car with low centre of gravity that matches a porsche cayman and decent economy+boot.

Mine arrives on June 17th fresh from the factory

That is a big wagon coon.

Give us some engine stats.

The car on paper is 197-200bhp with 151ftlb of torque. Performance mods wise i have done so far:
Blitz intake kit+Mishimoto Intake hose with sound generator removed.
Cobrasport catback resonated backbox+overpipe.
Changed wheels as you can see in photo and different set of tyres because the stock ones are rubbish(Prius tyres).
The car cranked on dyno at 188hp at 6575rpm which is the peak range.
The car will be getting a Cosworth low temperature themostat and ECUtek remap end of this month and hopefully should see the mid-range torque improved a lot more. Car should gain 15-20hp and 20 ftlb of torque.

Next mod will be after the remap will be looking at lowering the car but still deciding on coilovers or just springs.

That is a big wagon coon.

Big ol' 4WD. Has two turbos so it still does 0-60 on just under 8 seconds.
