Heads have been built / ported / machined by my mate who has been porting and running a engineering shop for over 10years, the block has been machined and prepared by Lateral, I'll be assembling the short motor / long engine myself under the supervision of my mate who built my heads, everything else on the car will be done by myself bar the mapping which will be done by Paul at zen

Omar spec list looks good and the teaser pics very nice. Good luck with the build mate i'm sure you wont need it though 
Lol Clive your not the only one i have 2 spare CDBs + 3rd CDB is built and awaiting me to finish the head work and just bolt it up. Probably keep the other 2 as pension funding lol.

Bally, would you have a spare set of bolts that hold the two block halfs together that I could buy off you?

Nice thread Omar..
How come you have started from scratch again after building the last 2.1stroker?? Which incidently has just completed its first full trackday and didnt miss a beat!! with just the addition of coilovers, whiteline bars, links and ALK and a front brake change to Ksports.

Is it still on Martyn's map?After selling the car I went over to a RX7 and then a Soarer, but they were no match to the Type R you now own so I felt the need to build another but this time doing as much of the work myself, it's abit boring handing your money over to someone and letting them build your car for you...So I thought I'd give it ago myself
Any recent pics of the car or videos of it on track?

Long block is now finally assembled I'll get some pics up during the week of the assembly process, in the meantime thought I'd post a pic up of the wheels that I collected from Ruislip tyres a few weeks back
