4x4 Cosworth stress relieved block with low compression racing pistons
Modified “winged” sump
Blueprinted and gas flowed Head
Modified Hybrid Cams
Modified RS 500 plenum chamber
8 injector sequential set up
Modified Garret T04 Turbo
Specialist individual design radiator
RS500 Intercooler
Charge Cooler
Mainly Stainless tanks and Aeroquip braided piping
Specially commissioned 6 speed gear box (can’t remember make, I’ll find the bill eventually, but it was made in America to spec by a company specialising in drag racing kit and was over Ł5k. Got fed up with breaking the standard gearboxes!)
Oil cooler
Up-rated diff (but can’t remember what)
Diff oil cooler
Variable boost control
TMC Powermax 700 Adjustable Nitrous System
Adjustable race suspension
Race logic traction and launch control (needs re-configuring)
Strut Brace
Up-rated, vented, grooved disks
AP 4 pot callipers, Twin callipers on front
3” stainless exhaust system with twin 4” tail pipes
RS500 Front lip spoiler
Andy Rouse Light-weight Rear Spoiler

Originally was around 580bhp without the Nitrous. The Nitrous is set to give a very modest extra 35-40bhp but the jets could be changed to give more. This car has been in various magazines. One magazine recorded 179.6mph at Bruntingthorpe, that was before the nitrous was fitted.

The legend which is SnowStorm

the tiger stripped escos was Rallye Storm, the White Saff is Snow Storm and Desert Storm was the Blue saff which has now been broken Not all three doors buy you can't have pics of tiger stripped cossies without the turbosystem cars, just not right
