So after 3 years of starting this build it is now finally on the road...... What a headche this has been and its still not finished and still needs more little problem solving bits done on it and then need more power out of it so im init looking for a turbo and injectors.

ill get more pics of it now and get them up on here for all to see....... the work that has gone in has been insane but worth it i love the car and cant wait to finally sort out all the little niggles that she has

So since fitting the better air filter and the ID860cc injectors and the MDX321T she has now gone from her 353bhp to 420bhp and she feels lively now.

time to has some fun in her then look for a better brain and map sensor and squeeze more power out of her!!!

She now has the heart rebuilt and is now runing a 2.1 stroker fully forged engine! Now covered 800 miles so can now change the oil and look to get her mapped again to see what she makes!
