the photos were just done quick with a friends camera the night i got the car, both my car and the womans car will be magazine featured in the coming weeks by a professional photographer so those pics will follow, off the top of my head the spec is as follows

Eagle H-beam rods
ARP everything, big ends, mains, cylinder head
HKS 272 cams
CP forged pistons (being changed to wiseco oversized)
Vandervell race bearings (big ends and mains)
Cylinder head has been ported and polished
Custom fuel rail
1000cc injectors
Aeromotive fuel pressure reg + guage
All ally race fittings and stainless braided hose
Greddy dump valve
Custom inlet manifold fitted with Nissan Q45 100mm throttle body
HKS Adjustable cam pulleys
A/C removed
Hybrid 600x300x75mm front mount
Garrett GT35/40 (I think) turbo - I have the spec sheets for this
Tial external waste gate with screamer pipe
HKS supersilent full 3" exhaust
Catch can
Twin supra coils running wasted spark setup
DTA P8 pro ecu
Magnecore race leads
just had Silkolene Pro S oil and new filter
Mocal oil filter re-location kit (sits on O/S inner wing)
Custom water swirl pot system
Koyo Alloy rad
Spal fans
Custom heat shield
K&N filter - currently mounted under the N/S wing at the front/bottom
Samco hose all over
Apexi AVC-R boost controller - set at 1.3 bar
Walbro fuel pump
Air horns
Clear front indicators
Projector lights
Late spec rears
braided brake hoses
Orange sparco gear knob
Momo carbon handbrake cover
Think it has alloy pedals as well
full celica mat set
HKS valve spring set to go with the cams


Body is pretty standard apart from the Orange paint, which was done with the whole car stripped, even the glass.
Has a few carbon fibre bits underneath, engine cover etc is Carbon, race mirrors

Wheels are Work Emotion 18" light weight imported from japan.
They are fitted with Falken tyres I think

Suspension has new KYB's on the back and the front is completely custom because Paul did the ST202 subframe Mcphearson strut conversion to get rid of the crappy super struts.

Inside it has Apexi's version of the Defi link system. There is a boost, egt, oil and water guages and a control unit inside the cubby under the stereo. Its got a Kenwood head unit with an Alpine V12 amp under the passenger seat, Brand new Richbrook leather steering wheel, Race mirrors (stubby ones)

there is alot more but suppose thats the main stuff,

the car is at momentum motorsport, getting the head ported and polished, exhaust mainfold ported and polished, oversize valves and pistons fitted, and remapped with a turbo rebalance hopefully enabling 600bhp

pics of my car and the womans ford puma, the orange affair

i'm going for the magic 600bhp and i think i may stop there as thats serious enough power as it is, and any more would be useless on the roads we have over here, (longest motorway if you could call it (dual carriageway) is 30miles long). Just can't wait to get it back in the coming few weeks.

ohh. one more touque maniac like me biggrin.gif
good luck with the build paul. i liked your car very much.
i belive you will reach over 500bhp easly, with some more work you may reach up to 600,
but start to worry about your transmission from now. because i had many many many. proplem with it starting from gear selectors till rear diff.
i can wait to see the car on the road smile.gif

after the build is finished i'm going to be close to 600bhp if not over it, i have 530bhp as it sits now, the next plan is probably a Fensport dog box and still undecided on what rear diff will be used, going to add a carbon prop as i've seen a few guys over here use them on the 185's, so i'll have to find a supplier some time later in the year, i'll probably have pics of the build as i'm going to visit the car on thurs
