Hi Andy
Mike is currently taking great pride in shooting the Yanks over on XBox live
Now it's pretty obvious watching him that stealth over speed is his game... or maybe it's just his age? 
Cheers Shaun - maybe you are right... trade descriptions and all that

Probably been thick here 
Are the pics of it still being built as the turbo has the compressor wheel exposed and I can't see the pipework feeding from the turbo to the intercooler? Also what are the pink injector slots for? Is that to plug NOS in
Nice piece of work though A bit more modded than the type r you had back in 2000 when I visited

Mike,
Bling engine..... looks awesome!!!
Sounds like you are getting similar torque figures (at same boost) now, to what PowerStation achieved on VPower on the Cosworth 2.5Ltr engine last year in their race car. Nice one and well done. Regardless of who has done what, when and how, getting figures like these are extremely good mate.

Currently using GEMS but will be switching to SimTek ASAP. As for Steve being old... hmmm, maybe we should buy him some 'Just for men'... make him look like a Subbuteo player

Mike,
Must pop up one day and you can take me for a spin.
Alan,
Mine was a handful & quick at 480bhp so you must be pleased with what you have now (but then we are never pleased and always want more, which is why mine is back off the road again after 2 weeks of being on the road, having more stuff done 
).
It's a dangerous game, but oh so fun!!!

Ours is all built by us entirely including the double fuel rails, intercooler pipework Etc.
My board is having an add on to run the second set of injectors and to take a few other bits into consideration as well, but it's with Steve ATM awaiting its heart transplant.

I'm just planning where the next 240BHP will be coming from as well.
Got the next circa 100BHP (ish) planned and should be "produced" in the foreseeable future.
If that's a serious enquiry for some more BHP, drop us a mail direct or phone this afternoon?

I've done a couple of mods since i've had her, i'm probably a little shy of 620bhp though.

ok, so is that gonna be 20k of work? or 30k, or 40k????
What's the stats gonna be on a car like this? 0-60, 0-100, what's the deal??
How much has it actually added to the car, when out on a piece of tarmac, not on a dyno.
I'm intrigued! It's not often you ome across a car over 600bhp!!
