I love the South Island too. Grew up in South London so it's a huge contrast.
Love doing road trips in my beat up old van. Take the Cossie on road trips occasionally if I have good parking at the destination. It's perfect for overtaking
Motor has just been fully rebuilt with head porting as per photos on
www.mpperformance.co.nz, has T35 turbo with stage 3 .63AR exhaust, greys, plenum spacer plate, RS500 cooler, external wastegate, will have bosch motorsport fuel pump etc, WRC headgasket.
It was rebuilt due to melted piston, perhaps as a result of running too hot spark plugs.
Before rebuild on old spec, it was 370bhp with no porting and 140,000 miles on the motor. Hoping to have around 400bhp with rebuild. Maybe slightly more, see how it dynos up and how much boost I run.
