great to see people pushing the envelop ... when i first got my bugeye in 2003 most people said 300bhp was absolute max, mines been running 390 ish now for a good year along with many others and its only garages like GRD (amongst a few others) that make this possible

Thats the thing though isn't it. Everyone always says "How long will it last though" my answer is that that is exactly what we are trying to find out. If we can run the car for x 1000 miles and its still fine it then raises the bar on what can reliably be extracted from a UK STI8 engine.

Well done Aaron and GRD. 
This particular car has certainly moved on since I saw it (Last February?? ). Back then it was pretty capable 380bhp on a top mount.
It just goes to show, how far these cars can be developed.
2 Years ago, 400bhp in a daily driver was very rare. Now 500bhp is attainable for the average Joe.
Keep pushing guys.

498bhp 445lbft std unopened MY02, running V power with 10% methanol.
It was against my recommendation I have to say but I am assured it is a short term solution until the 2.65 short motor arrives
It was only mapped yesterday and its still going today
Nice car actually, some very special bits on it, it will be running at SSO.
