well, alot has happened since the last update.

back in feburary it cut out on me as i was slowing down from a wee blast on the mway. and i couldnt get it started again, i took the plugs out to check them and this was what i was greeted with.

so off with the head. which is when my day went from bad to worse.

only one thing to do. start from scratch.

got another bottom end from my mate, bought new rods and pistons, acl bearings, gt2871r, 1.2mm headgasket, 265deg billet cams, uprated valve springs.

engine back in.

evo 9 intercooler fitted.

getting mapped.

not bad eh 252atw 1.2bar

as it stands the now.

that brings me back upto date. now that everythings sorted again i can focus back on the things i wanted to do from the start.

to do:
fit r888's on 15" slipstreams
fit wilwood front brake kit
fit bc racing coilovers
fit whiteline front and rear arb + antilift kit
fit powerflex engine mounts and bottom arm bushes
fit back brakes
get a new exhaust - 3" downpipe and system with no boxes

then its back to ava to get final tweaks and more boost.

enjoy.
