Target weight is 12.5 stone
Seriously, I think I can get it down to roughly 1300kg without ruining it for the road and losing the daily driver aspect.

Those are for side feed injectors....UK and JDM cars runs Top feeds.
So can you change from a top feed set up to a side feed setup?
And how?

Thanks for that Tim - I had looked at it but it does seem like a huge overkill and very expensive. Effectively it would be almost £2k for that setup

I thought they might be expensive, but not that expensive
My car is in pieces still, the engine came back from the workshop a week or so back and is in pieces in the dining room awaiting re-assembly (needed the block at 20 degrees C to torque things down properly).
Suspension wise I might have a crack at it this weekend and fit the softer springs I have and change the rack back to the stock UK one. If I'm in the right frame of mind

20 degrees C????????
Jesus Tim, get on with it and build the bu66er. I built my engine in the garage in March last year when it was barely above 5 degrees c, that survived a **** load more abuse than yours will for a long time.
Christ, you southeners dont half ponce about at times!
sorry for off topic Duncan, car will look uber cool when its done. I have waited 4 months from my front wings, and still aint got them
Seeing this, makes me want to make the back end of the car wide again, after it took me months to get it out of my head!
