Well eventually gathered all the parts i needed with the help of momentum motorsport located in lisburn northern ireland. Car went to them with 530bhp about 3 months ago, and within the next 4weeks i should be running my new reworked engine in, i'm heading away for 2 weeks to a small island called Zante off the south of Greece on thursday morning and i'll be wishing my holiday away to get back into the drivers seat, there was no stone unturned this time with the build, and i'm having a switchable map set up on the ecu for 98octane which is expecting to make 640bhp and then another map for Sunoco 109 which wll be used for track days and the like and from the engine builder who has a big bhp mr2 turbo, he's expecting 680bhp all being well. Figures don't really matter that much to me, but i'd be happy to see 600bhp on super as that'll be quick enough for me for the time being. Just keep an eye on this thread as pics of the build will appear when i get back from my holidays. And hopefully a nice video to make ya's all jealous.

i'm not expecting the box to hold for more than a year tbh, i've been looking into a dog box for it or if i could find and afford i would try and get an X Trac box from a ST205 Group A car with the sequential shifter but thats all in the pipeline for the future, i'll enjoy it while it lasts then take it from there, building a 600bhp engine isn't that expensive especially in the states, its building the car around the engine is when the cost comes in, i have a good base car though to play with so hopefully i'll have little to worry about.
