I'm away for a week but spoke to jake on Friday he's hoping to get at least the body sprayed by the end of the week. I'm in no rush any way but can't wait to see it all sprayed big transformation. Just got to start thinking of engine options for it next.. thinking v8/v9 still engine on a twinscroll sc46 or something like that

Hi Ryan if you fancy selling the steering wheel I would buy it back, just that it has sentimental value for me. Had it since 2004 when it came over from Japan with my first scoob. Drop us a PM if you do want to part with it

Banny has git me in touch with someone about a 2.1 short motor already built so looking in to that.. has anyone recommend me on what heads to go for? Using Spec c ported and polished heads on my blob. Just thinking of this to try the v3 heads or AVCS heads and maybe some cams?

If stay 500bhp or lower then the v3sti will be fine and are very cost effective. Lot of cost involved with avcs, heads, inlet, modified wiring loom. Syvecs.

Going for avcs heads anyway.. can still do it on open source with Andy Carr. My blob is getting mapped soon by him this will be 500/550

Ok so here's the update with the car. As some have seen I have put a fir sale thread up for it.

But would only sell if I got what I was asking for it..


So the plan for the meantime is to pick it up from jakes on Saturday and put it in my garage while I finish my blob. So after a summer enjoying the blob I will see where I'm at possibly carry on with it and but parts bit by bit and go from there..
