christmas has come early for me , just picked up the car and sounds lovely, just got to run it in now

i must resist the right foot.
very happy now but my wallet is not feeling so good

spec of engine is sti 5 1999 bottom end with my sti 3 heads with sti 8 crank and rods, acl race bearings throughout, oil pump, sti 6 pistons standard bore, would have liked to used different pistons but funds are a little tight after spending out on other things over the last few months like two engine removals, exedy clutch, lightened flywheel, new rad, teins, front brembos, pf discs and pads, whiteline arb and links, headers, magnex exhaust, d-cat down pipe, steering wheel, 2 sets of rota wheels, toyos, sabelt harness, intercooler, i still have plenty to do before i can use it properly again like engine managment, rear brakes but its getting there

What engine management did you have on there before TK?

Must be good to get it back running so quickly - well done for that 8)

Does Andy (ESL) have a mapping solution for it?

Not yet, but on the drawing board currently...

another little update , just purchased a safety devices rear rollcage with x diagonals/harness bar , but also comes with bars to use instead so can use rear seats , havent actually seen it yet in the flesh (only pics) but going to pick it up early this week, should add a little protection if the worst happens,
not much else to report on the car as im still running it in and got about another 400 miles to go, then its a visit to engine advantages i guess for a fuelling/timing check so i can hopefully get to snetterton on the 20th

Sounds great Trev :thumb: far better to be safe than sorry with the cage. It would be fantastic if you can get there for the 20th. It will be a great warm up for the sprint season ahead

Looking forward to seeing this car in the flesh at the sprints
