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 ?

it is a good price but still a gamble, it could turn out to be serious but if it does its worth the asking price as a breaker so no loss, im a little excited if im honest

i really do miss the grip of my old one, supra is awesome but fooking hard tryin to lay all that power down, anything other than burning hot tarmac its utterly useless lol

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.
