They dint make a 2 door it was the grd shell but we have had to re do every part of the car front scratch as grd's was very poor and no where near up to out standards in all honesty it would have been easier to start with a STD shell but we live and learn
the latest edition version 4 sti fully forged internals using mahl pistons and arrow rods acl bearings , type r cam shafts just pondering over turbo now, have some 740 injectors and modified fuel rails so looking to go for around the 420 - 450 bhp mark
will keep you all updated thinking the sc billet may be the way to go,

few more small updates the drift works carbon spoiler is now fitted as is the carbon boot lid now fully fixed correctly with the aid of x4 aero catch fitting for easy removal






looking good matt next time im over the old mans in walsall mite av to come have a look at this one
thought i would pop a few photos off my ride so far




just for peoples who are considering this its a version 3/4 sti tmic going on to a version1/2 car this will not fit in the space like on a v3/4 the throttle body is just to long on a v 1/2 car you could change to a v3/4 throttle body and make a mounting bracket or to do it correctly fit a full v3/4 inlet the inlet which will bolt on to the v1/2 heads this not only gives you the correct room for the tmic also the correct mounting points but also the correct angle for that much needed bonnet under tray to direct the air we wouldnt advise any 1 fitting 1 with the orignal v1/2 inlet as the angles are all wrong as is the spacing to get the much needed air to them just a heads up
