building not bought, 600bhp long build
started when i was 18 with my 1st classic was a version 2 with a version 6 bottom end version 2 heads and a legecy box, was very fast but them bottom end failed, took it to a garage to get fixed and got riped off. the car came back with a version 2 bottom end, and it was never the same again, so i took it off the road and have started again. now im 21 and still not very far but ive got good intensions i hope...
last time on the road
then i bought this shell 10 hour round trip early R-A shell.
then the work began, cutting and choping the fron end to get a nicly secure mounting for the fmic
then to mock up with a new version 6 bottom end
engine in
couple of paint bits to see how it looked
then primared parts
then another failer in a v2 engine that i split
painted parts on
my lass helping out lol
front end kinda complete
engine bay
waky red
on bc coilovers
then i moved units
4 pots and 2 pots fitted
cage
stainless headers
stering wheel nos and engine start button
rear show cage
seats and harnesses getting rerapped
T-A arches
then side tracked and bought my lass this bottom end gone
my engine out and in hers
his and hers
then bought more gear for a 600 bhp build
garrett gt35
simtec e.c.u

Good luck, been there done that (601 bhp /565ft lbs). Mine was a true DIY driveway build. If mine was anything to go buy you're in for some ups and downs.
My advice here is during the downs (they are inevitable and will occur no matter if you think they wont or not) stick with it and see it through to the end. I did and mine is fooking awesome fun
Good luck my friend, I shall follow with interest.

I'd sell that manifold on if i were you before its scrap. It will probably crack all over the place looking at the design of it.
Stick with tried and tested stuff. you'll not go far wrong with a GT Spec gen2 manifold especially if you're aiming for 600bhp.

Are you intending to run Nitrous as steering wheel has a "nos" button or was it a case of that steering wheel was available at the time?

il let them fall apart before i change them, but i did check the grade of the metal and its pritty decent compared to the gt spec ones. they will probs crack at the weld but then i can weld the welds back up and it will be twice as strong. like i say the upipe will be getting cut twisted and new flanges adapted to fit the gt. yes im running nos

In fairness though in the nicest possible way i agree with Daz, if your going for 600bhp you need everything to work very well.
Im going for 500bhp and you need good supporting mods for it to produce what your hoping for and for reliability of course.
Keep up the good work

the only thing the gt spec has diff is they can shrink with the join in them the flow is the same... but i will be going with gt spec ones anyway as the stainless at 600bhp will get very hot and need to shrink
anyway got some more parts jdm drift hooks
