thanks
especially at under Ł4k
thanks
thanks peeps, i know ive already had one but the grip is awesome i do miss it, its had full engine and box rebuild, new turbos cost Ł7k with receipts, did 1500 miles and started overfuelling very badly hes been quoted Ł2000 to put it right and has just had enough of it i think, not sure where i will go with it tbh but to much or a bargain to miss, will get it on the ramp for a good checkover, and some analysis check for any air leaks first on the ajenda, then afms and go from there.
i wouldnt mind a single manifold and a borg turbo i wonder if rod still has that turbo for sale ?

a few more pics



as you can see rear arches will need a tidy up, im not looking for a mint all out monster i have all that in the supra, i want 500 hp useable with little lag, standard drivetrain so cheap to maintain and something i could take to pod or on a trackday without worrying, planning on insureing the missus on this one too and could be used anytime as a road car snow or shine
turbos are rated to 560 hp, engine was rebuilt standard so should be fine for 500 hp tops, just need a bit of luck now with the buying it blind and hope engine is still ok, ive already ordered a lambda boss from msd so il rob the wideband of the chevy and have a tinker hopefully sometime next week. i may get one of the wideband kits mark shead uses for this if its repairable and i keep it.

best bang for buck you can buy though an r32 gtr imo
i am yet to try an evo.
id have got an r32 but just found gettin in and out was a pain but once in its a nice place to live
if yu built with a small body frame like the japs yur fine.
anyone else find them a lil cramped? for the size of the car it has a small cockpit. when i got in a mates one its like looking over the bonnet of a XJS Jag! but snug as a bug in my saph!
