Looks like someones been busy !
That is going to look awesome, when i looked through the 1st couple of pic's i thought the colour was a bit dodgy but i can see from the last one that the wheels & colour scheme really suit each other. Best bit is the engine bay though

Thanks for the replies;
Adam This one will be around 4-450 bhp (T4 greys quaife)
I am building it so I don't ruin my other one TBH. I love modifying cars and got a little bored with the blue one as it is so hard to alter factory spec to make it look better. The spec on this one id HUGE, and I have had it for 18 months. I bought it basically as a shell, with a bottom end, and quaife box. The cage was in it, but not bolted in or anything. I had to take most of the stuff out of it, to re fit uprated stuff.
I'll post more pictures as I continue.
It will have only 2 seats (carbon fibre ones), but still have carpet in the front, so as to add a little comfort to the ride.
Basic spec is as follows;
BD14'S
200 BLOCK
4WD QUAIFE
GREYS
P8
T4
RS500 INTERCOOLER
19'' RIMS
COILOVERS
MONGOOSE STRAIGHT THROUGH
COBRA EVOLUTION TECHNOLOGY SEATS
SPARCO 3'' 6 POINTS
ROLLCENTRE RACING CAGE 'X' REAR
POLYBUSHED
B&M SHIFTER
FERODO DISCS & PADS DS2500
VEILSIDE MIRRORSetc etc etc
I WILL POST UP FULL SPEC EVENTUALLY
At the moment I am waiting for my gearbox to be returned and then it will only be a few weeks off.
Loom is yet to go in, as is most of the other electrics. Bodywork will remain standard. I was originally going for a power figure of around 450-480 and 150-200bhp NOS through a progressive controller, but now due to the fact that I want to use it as a daily driver, I have decided on 400+ with no NOS, (although I have left the lines etc in there.....you never know
) and hopefully I can kick the sh*t out of it too.
I will use this post to update pictures as and when. I'll put up some more tomorrow, see watch this space........

Simon the pictures on here of the colour do it no justice what so ever. The colour is called Arancio California Pearl Mettallic and comes from a Lambourghini Mercialago. It is orange with a yellow pearl. Troble is, it is a bitch to colour match 
Gary they are not MK6 ones and yep I love them too
Cossiegaz, unless any of my cars are dropped from an aeroplane, I doubt I'll ever see the otherside of 180 let alone 220mph
Grant you won't miss it
matt I looked but no
