Listed the clutch so I'm not acused of masking the true costs.

Closed neck has been on the car for years and the whole system is slip jointed, which makes swapping bits a real pain. Open-neck will make v little diff if that.

Waterspray will be useful for RR and drags.

Obviously has saftey gadgets such as boost gauge, knocklink, lambalink...

Bob, I'll let you off

There is the price of parts to get you to 300bhp and then there is the cost of getting to 300BHP and staying there.

I can't, well not until it's proven! When it's mapped and RR'd I'll reveal all... probably.

You see you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk? Well that's what people will say to me unless I do it.

BTW I'm starting from 201BHP 'cos that's what my car started out with.

Try 100 WHP That's right it's not a mistake

I estimate £1655 worth of mods to get 100BHP or the cost of the old PPP. Unless you can do it cheaper?
