Thx mate Pretty much how I bought her to be honest. Spec wise the main bits are:
Gt2876r turbo currently running at 9psi, ojz engineering manifold with custom exhaust, rc750cc injectors and tunnertoys fuel rail, high pressure fuel pump, engine internals are all uprated ie flyin miata valve springs, retainers, pistons etc, 300mm 4pot brakes, lsd, Arc cage, intercooler, oil cooler, gaz coilovers, hydra ems ecu, etb intruments digi dash, elite transmisions gearset, 300lbft paddle clutch, flyin miata roll bars, rose jointed drop links etc. It's had a lot more done but that's the main stuff.
Car is running around 250bhp at the min. Just spent the weekend doing a few things. Raised the car slightly as was just too low for comfortable road use (as you can see from the pics!). Also ordered a nice ITG filter for the turbo and am reverting back to a standard crank pulley as it has an underdrive pulley on at the mo. Heard far too many horror stories about them on FI cars. Will lose some bhp but would rather have a more reliable engine to be honest.
Still unsure about the BGW to be honest... but absolutely love the car to bits. Steering and the way it handles are bloody fantastic... even better now it's raised slightly. Car weighs 900kg which makes it pretty quick!
Liking yours too mate... looks like a special edition?
