OK bit of an update,

I bought another car with less miles, better paint and a hybrid engine of the UK spec and Japanese spec meaning it runs the same power 226 bhp (just over 200 at the wheels) but the compression is lower so in theory it can take boost.

Here is the spec sheet from when i bought it:

It has a few mods which are not to my taste so will sort those out, Ive swapped over the wheels, fitted the new rear lights and will be buying a black interior to replace the grey leather (even though its the best condition one ive seen).

Some more pics below of before:

I wasnt a fan of the carbon wrapped vented bonnet or rear lights so they have been removed and netted me a fair bit of cash back, also swapped rear bumpers with the original car. I also had to drop two tyre sizes but i still get rubbing on the rear so will need to roll the arches:

This car does go really well, future plans:
Debadge and remove the front plate off the bumper
lower it - probably have to go air i think as I'm not having much luck with the coilovers
fit my spare mustang splitter
change interior to black
swap to stock steering wheel and clocks


I will probably keep the original car for a bit longer once i get it on the road but may sell it once complete.
