Sorry the thread been dead recently!
Nothing much has happened really just been fairly neglected due to lack of time, having to move homes twice in the space of a months, new girlfriend ect has left me very skint but, my ebay shopping list is ready and waiting for pay day!
I will be getting a 10 point cage off Sam Barker in 2 weeks, hopefully lowering the beam and getting that GT25 manifold made up. It will be going over the gearbox as I've decided it's FAR to big to go down the back of the block plus setting up the VNT ect would be a pain in the arse! I would like to thank Samass for inspiration on the turbo mounting though.

So alot's happened since my last update. The cage didn't fit so that got sold on. The turbo, havn't had time do yet and am thinking of selling.
But the cambelt snapped a couple of weeks back which bent a valve and snapped the cam so I fitted a new head, new gasket, new cambelt and water pump, new injector seals, new leaks off pipes and it runs like a dream now.
I had it dyno'd with the fuel turned up to see what it could do 3 days after I fitted all those parts and it made-

Sadly insurance limits me to 150bhp so I turned it straight back down for road use. So it will only be turned up for track use 
Also decided the new beam was way to high, I could fit 4 fingers in the arch gap! So I lowered it today finally and gave it a clean and took some snaps
before clean

How would insurance company prove what power its running? I'd assume that because you have notifed them that it has modifications and running 150,they would'nt bother investigate the matter once they see,fmic etc
In fairness there hardly going to have a look at the reek out the back and measure it..
Turn her up!! haha

I'm not sure but it's turned down to keep it legit.
SO I finally uploaded a dyno video of the car-
http://s834.photobucket.com/user/max_tai...sort=3&o=1
I've been doing some cleaing work in prep for FCS and decided to make an exhaust, made from an old 306 mid section
![[Image: null_zpsc3b86737.jpg]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz263/max_tait/null_zpsc3b86737.jpg)
I made it so it's fully rotatable so it can be pointed in all directions and it's great for coaling which Vaughn and Stephen have seen!
