Nice Evo! But then I am a bit biased... smile

You actually running two bar of boost in it then? Forged internals?
Yeah buddy its running the new HKS 7460r turbo and quite a big spec. Its a genuine 500hp car so tbh along with that turbo (which i think is the best 500hp turbo on the market) makes it a rather brutal road car

Well its not a standard block but yeah its still a 2ltr. Im not a fan of the stroker kits if im honest unless you want big big power as its hard to hold the power up the revs on the smaller turbo up to gt30's

TBH i think 2ltr long rod is the way forward. You could have a long rod rev'ing to 9k on a forced performance black making 600hp+ on a reasonable budget

I'm Kent/London borders. TBH, I know places to take it to get good work done but due to work issues (paycut/potential redundancies), money's much tighter than normal and that rules me out of having any engine work done. And I've just paid for a closed trackday at the 'Ring too (being nice and sensible with the cash I do have wink)!

Sorry, but that bit amused me as a guy in our office has a TVR and switches between a) proclaiming it's true britishness and how reliable it is, and b) whinging like mad about how unreliable it is.

What a fantastic selection of cars, I've seen your white Evo around a few times, I have a Silver Evo 6.

Was your metro a J reg ending in DWP? If so I owned that a while back and still have the old plates in my garage smile
