I will be hoping to get somewhere close to your times, not sure if its do-able but ill try.

Dont know if you have heard but mine is now fully stripped and caged after my Cadwell runs i thought it would be best

Had it weighed too, 1220kg with half a tank, plus another 60kg is easily removable at some point.

Ill have to put mine up against your to give me some idea how quick mine is.

TBH its more track focused than strip, it laughs in the face of E46 M3's etc round a track

It was funny to overtake supposed big power (400+ ish) skylines too

My spec is really a sustainable one, in as much as if it goes pop i can fit any old wrx engine cheap. After all its supposed to be fun hey

I built a mates P1 motor and that cost him £2000 nigh on and that was free labour. I dont see the need in a built motor as i'm not going to be chasing power.

SPEC.

Polar chip 1.1bar boost guess at 280-290bhp tops.
v4 cooler
gold brembo's
25mm rear bar
22mm front bar
std springs and KYB AGX's (i find them great btw even on track) set mid range (geometry to my spec)
totally stripped/sound proofing removed and painted body colour
OMP cage
888's for the track (£300 inc wheels part worn)
paradas for the road

There are still a few bits to finish off like seats etc. dump the std ones in favour of some motordrive jobbies. A swirl pot and 044 pump to try and erradicate surge, it corners real well

All things equal i will try and do the last Scooby sprint round just to see how i place against big power cars. I realise i will be 200-300bhp down hahaha. But its worth a go.

Sounds like a good set up, if you get the urge to increase the power later, you'll have a car that will handle it.
The seat change was one of my favorite mods, feel really nice in the corners, saved a good bit of weight, and look great!

Be careful when dealing with MotorDrive. I'm chasing a refund and I'm starting to believe they are underhanded.
