So been an age but bit of an update.

Got the g60 rears on



Also picked up these on gumtree



Just making some new frames for them, also got some mint door cards and a corrado rear bench, going to get bench and door cards retrimed to match seats if I can find close enough match.


My little girl seems to approve  :grin:

This was to take the place of the dead abf lump.




Got some boost pipes made up.



Picked up a second hand rad




Built a new 2.5" stainless exhaust to replace the 2.25" system, gone for a 3" rolled out tip also went all out and got the 3" down pipe from trackslags



No pics of the exhaust tailpipe or wheels fitted but will get some taken and posted up.

Once the engine was fitted the next thing was to bling it up, haven't got up to date pic of engine as is but its not much different.



Getting the car remapped in next couple of wks just have to get it booked in.
Talking the Gareth at map tech in brigg and he says 300bhp should be achievable its running around 270bhp at mo with hybrid k04 turbo.

To say the car is fast is understatement, its crazy fast, wheelspin in 3rd gear in dry at 60/70mph :shocked:
300bhp should be fun :smiley:

Will try and keep bit more up to date on here.
Thanks for looking.
