Its not cheap to do. If you keep under 400bhp its a lot cheaper. If you go turbo the bills are big and they aren't the most reliable unless you spend 10's of thousands. One of the blokes I'm friendly with on the forum is doing a 800bhp build at the moment but everything has to be changed.

Thanks for sharing this Matt

Superb car and that power and that chassis must be so much fun.

In terms of LSD, I would have thought someone like Kaaz or Wavetrack would have been ideal.......just not sure about actual specs.

I was think about a quaife but not so sure as of late.

It's nice and long. Vtec comes in at 4k. Been doing some work today. Pulled the intercooler and modifying it. Will be all sorted by tomorrow so it can be re powder coated

Oh made my own manifold in January but then altered the last section for the 3" exhaust in march. Just a little picture when it was almost finished. Pipe work size is 50mm-60mm-76mm. You couldn't buy one with those pipe sizes at the time but you can now. Quality of their one isn't the best I've been told. Mines out of 316 stainless.
