500+hp 2wd flint grey saph
Hi everyone, decided it was about time I sorted a thread out for my flint grey saph.
Some of you may remember it from last year when it was on eBay with a snapped exhaust cam...
I decided to take a gamble on it and collected it from South Wales at a good price.
The car is high owners with not a great deal of history but very straight with little rust etc and 2wd in flint grey ��
Here is a picture from the day I collected it. It was a bit boy racer, but generally very tidy and a good base to start from.
Straight away I went about removing the clear lights, st150 wheel and the horrific sun strip!
Currently the car is sitting like this on a set of comp mo's with Amber lights.
Next up was to sort the snapped exhaust cam, I was expecting damage to valves.
But unfortunately once I removed the head, I found the block was cracked between the head bolt holes and the water jacket ��
After a chat with Lee Marshall engine developments about the cracked block, things got a little out of hand and this happened...
Engine spec is:
200 block
Pocketed pistons 7:8:1 compression ratio
WRC oil jets
10 long studs
Balanced bottom end
Mahle motorsport bearings
WRC oil pump
WRC head gasket
Neil roper head with 26mm inlet and 24.5mm exhaust
Bd16 inlet can
Bd14 exhaust cam
Double valve springs
Quaife steel pegged verniers
Genuine rs500 inlet with 8 greens
Genuine garret t4 rebuilt by cr turbos
SCS big wing sump
Can't thank lee enough for the work and advice on the engine and Jim Gibbs for all the advice and guidance on the spec, and sorting the big wing sump for me

Cheers chaps
Defo old school!
Don't get me wrong I know it will be more laggy with the t4 than the newer turbos but there is something cool about a t4 and 8 greens
