Default Project 555

We have been working for over a year now on building an engine suitable for fast road, track use and hopefully one day soon the Scottish hill-climb championship. The car is a 2002 STI and was previously a very effective package. The brief was as per the project title, a car capable of producing 555 bhp, or more, and one that could use and lay down the power.

More info and pictures to follow
