Mark , after all your help you definately need to drive it

Phil i had a Brembo based kit made. I had to change my wheels for something with better spoke clearance. Ended up with Rota torques which allows me to run with no spacers on a 330mm kit. Sorry for the bad pics,only grabbed a quick photo.TGM racing are still not 100% satisfied with the kit, so are going to tweak it slightly, then hopefully they will make it available



CPL Racing are doing my Turbo conversion. Its based around there own kit, with Tial/Greedy influences. Mine is the second one they have done, and they have another booked as well.We have been slightly delayed waiting for Hondata, but its all here and being fitted as we speak.

sounds good Phil, i really wanted a Laskey engine, but funds mean thats next year.You will be able to run some good boost.
I just put in a Exeedy heavyduty clutch and flywheel, hopefully the diff will hold


PL, Hondata were here a week ago on other business and brought my ECU over. The package contained an ECU, new cam cover, two round wheels which i was told were new crank and cam sensors. Due to the fact the head is coming off for the 3mm headgasket it has brought the labour cost down on fitting these parts. If you were just going to have the ECU, it makes it an expensive option due to the labour of fitting parts.

It does seem like most of the FI work goes on in the states, but theres a good few people on the forum now with superchargers and soon turbos. Hopefully the knowledge will spread a little
