Perhaps it's the crunch, maybe Christmas... have the hardcore modders left the building?

Tuning for the coupe has never been so good, but I feel it may have come 2-3years too late afterall there are only so many left in the world...

If it makes you feel any better, as soon as I get round to fitting a decent clutch I'll be swapping to a bigger turbo and no doubt running too much boost. \:D

Well it does actually, Matty is leading the way where absolutely zero will follow \:D Well maybe one other Matt \:P

Seriously though, I think it's fantastic to push the boundaries, I woudn't be surprised to see Matty's engine still going strong this time next year... then again I wouldn't be surprised to see it go pop tomorrow \:D It matters not, because it's great to take it to the nth degree and see what the real deal is... high boost heroes I salute you everywhere \:\)

There are more coming through when you think.

My lounge is filling with engine bits....as a beat up 20v turbo engine is slowly coming to pieces to be rebuilt as good as it can be with an aim of around 450bhp...

Some of us just keep it quite quiet...

Don't worry Leighton, there should be a few scottish coops for you to fiddle with hopefully early next year! ;\)

Its a very dirty engine at the moment thats slowly coming to pieces, so nothing that interesting yet. Each part will be treated and prepared in an appropriate way. As more of this happens ill post some pictures ;\)

Hey Flea

I'm gonna get you to map my car in the new year. Other than fitting a lovely manifold my engine bay is looking lovelier than ever - does that count as tuning?? \:D

Leigthon i now have all the goodies for a fully forged rebuild so the bottoem end is going away at the weekend to the engineers. I think the bold Matty is up for trying to extract far too much from it when i get it together so that should be interesting. I'll see you at one of the time attack events i hope next year as i'll be doing them all.

The only things left to buy now are oil and a battery! :thumbs: and then just need the injectors and mapping once its been ran in! \:\)
