Hi Mike

I must get that carbon bonnet off you sometime..LOL I'd still put your bugeye as the highest BHP for a "homer"

I looked at the RCMS Bugeye MY01 having it's rebuild They were playing with the valvetrain to get it to rev way past 8000 RPM ...... the engine was alongside the "gobstopper" also being rebuilt LOL

Matt was in the middle of fitting an old block just to make sure the revised ancilliaries would fit !!

AFAIK it was a closed deck 2.122 cc

cleaner than the instruments i get from CSSD .. I want one

Shaun

You tell me? It started life as a WRX but apart from the body shell and the badge on the boot there it ends

Thanks Shaun, only problem is , the thread re. my car has been hidden as too many people where registering without posting and with it being a very "local" site it would have been fairly easy to work out where certain cars where, and I became a little paranoid
