No, it's the original block and crank that it rolled out of the factory with. :-D

Indeed it does pull fairly well when it finally comes onto boost!! It pulls well to 7000rpm too.

How much boost? - LOTS!! 30psi!!

We actually ran it to 2.4 bar, but there was no more power to be had at that boost, so we backed it off. :-D

It has Farndon H-Section Steel Rods and Ross Racing Forged Pistons. It is very low comp. It runs Omex 710 Engine Management, mapped by us. 8)

That is an incredible output, is the torque steer pretty bad?.

It's fairly bad, but probably better than most RST's as the suspension and geometry has been improved considerably. It has alot more adjustment than they ever had as standard, mainly thanks to the complete retro-fitted Turbo-Technics Adjustable front-end and adjustable TCA's.

I like the challenge of how interesting it is to drive. It certainly gets the adrenaline going. 8)

Yes, the passenger door does try to open past 130mph.
