The engine thrown together with an odd con rod to sell it, that's my conclusion, Paul at JDM garage assured me it was fresh built to high standard, bullshitter 🤬🤬

Yep, I didn't loose much and enjoyed owning it so it's all good, but when I stripped motor the rod that failed wasn't a hks one it was a random odd rod, and the crank was destroyed, I had no warranty but I was promised it was fresh built by a decent tuner mechanic, like a gentleman's agreement if you like, some people's word doesn't mean a thing pal 🤬👊

Are there any pictures of the car anywhere?

Weirdly, I watched the old Max Power DVD last night, where they went out to Japan and went round a few of the big tuners. The stuff the likes of Top Secret were knocking out in the late 90s and early 2000s was something else. Would love something like that to this day.
