My NA6CE, Built up over the past five years (some of you may have seen it). Built in my garage, designed and made many parts myself too, spent a good few nights gashing knuckles and a few choice words but great fun. Running 15 psi now and with all the ditched weight (off the car that is)makes for a fun drive.

Here is a very basic spec, my actual build info is 30+ pages which goes on the slam panel at shows. Few more things to do (as usual).

1.6 TD04 turbo, custom tubular manifold, Stainless steel 2.5DP +system,TEC ECU Vishnu bits, RC 550's duel fuel rail, Sard BOV, LC1 WB02, Water/meth Inj. TRUST FMIC, Custom Hardpipes, KOYO 55 Rad, SPEC hybrid stage 2/3 1.8 clutch and lightweight FW. Torsen. Tein Flex EDFC coilovers, WORK NR4's R888's. RS Seats (Carbon/Kevlar Recaros), CUSCO cage, carbon body bits.

The carbon sideskirts and rear spatts are my designs with REV9 carbon arch extensions. The fron bumper is a 'garage hundred one' part from Japan, had its guts taken out to make it lighter and is now fastened in just a few places so it can be removed fast. I'm working on a lightened bonnet and boot lid thinking of satin black with gloss black decals as the paint just cant be matched.

I love the NR4's too bit different just like the Japs. I have some 14/8 speedstars and a set of magnesium 14's for track stuff but the NR's are on it most the time.

BHP? not sure going but on what our pals over the pond are getting from similar setups its between 250-280.

Engine bay pic's- see what I can find.
