Never mind supra gearboxes etc, you need to be machining some fancy alloy polished up aero shaped eye lid props, you'll get so much more use out of those my friend...

How was Spa Jingle? Hopefully this weekend it should be all but done. Its entered into a hill climb event on the 17-18th
It was an awesome weekend, and only minimal rubbing with a full boot haha! Have some 255/30/19 on the way as we speak so should sort that out once and for all (already got new wheel arch liner ready to go on aswell)
Good luck with the hill climb! Will look out for some photos/vids of it

I am very tempted. The gearbox we know we can do. We are working out if my new clutch would work. Engine mounts won't be a problem it will fit. Exhaust might be tricky. It dose not weigh much more and is shorter than the 6 so the weight is more central.
I will be using a standalone ECU if I turbo and the turbo and this would cost about the same? And at 280 Bhp and 290 ftlbs and then a blower 500 ish of each!!
