Hi,
The Radiator has been moved forward on by around 3 inchs to give greater clearance on the turbo kit etc!
The car may go back to Mivec one day but at the moment i am using a setup that is very well tested by the ECC Evo 6 demo car so thats what i went with! I did have forged 2ltr Mivec with AMSgt35r kit which was very good but i soon get board! Maybe change to a 42r soon but we will see!

hi guys,
I have had the car built with an All rounder in mind!
What i mean is i want to use the car for a bit of everything!
Over here in the UK we have an Evo sprint series so i am doing
all of those rounds aswell as the Drag meetings! I will also be using
the car for the road as a bit of fun at weekends! Trackdays etc
The new wheels for the car are on order at the moment, they are
Carbon Fibre Dymag wheels!
thanks si

Yes i reakky like the stock look but with alot of power under the bonnet!
With regards to costs this is now up to £90,000 which is around $180,000 thousand!
It has had alot of time spent making endless parts will post up some new pics of the next stage in around 2 weeks!

beautiful car and all, but $180,000 sounds very high(car is no more than 40k even in the UK) so ure mods cost 140k?
Is stuff that much more expensive in the UK? Lots of custom parts but 180k??
never the less an amazing car
