along with another load of bits. continually upgraded over the past 6 years.
head gasket let go at the scooby shoot out in 07. i coasted over the quarter mile line in 11.20s @ 135mph. so it was engine out time when i got back home.

while the engine was out I decided to buy some new bits for a bit more power. So after saving for a long time i purchased a new turbocharger.

this bespoke turbocharger is a bit bigger than the 300bhp Subaru STi turbocharger.

the block was sent away to have 14mm ARP head studs drilled and to have the block modified with better oil galleries. new cylinder heads that have been polished and ported where bought along with new valves and higher profile cams.
decided to change the ecu from a Motec M48 Pro to a Solaris. this new ECU is much more programmable and has a load of other functions that that while the Motec can do, the solaris make it alot easier.

the car has been stripped of all seats and 2 x Sparco EVO3 seats with harnesses are going in. these seats are so light saving probably 40Kg.

Subaru suspension is very heavy as well, about 20kg per corner. New AST coilovers have saved a load of weight. Sportline2 with 12 adjustable settings.

hopefully is won't be too long before the car is back out in competition again. With the combination of more power and a weight reduction of about 100KG I hope to get into the 10s soon.
