This will make spotting you driving past the office a bit harder now given that you'll not have that distinctive burble!

Car looks nice though!

have just had my silver 6 written off, and now that the cheque has arrived have already reserved my next white 6! good choice.

Today I bought me some white compomotive MOs, old style! The only way!

In my opinion, the best of the best looking evo of the lot, look here!

all in motion already.

evo 6 RS2, in white. newly refurbed compomtive MOs to go on it. toyo T1rs which i am yet to experience but I have little choice.

Decided to concentrate on the chassis first. AP 6pot 362mm on the front and AP 4pots with standard disks on the back.

am currently looking at the EXE-TC suspension set up. They do a fast road and a full race but the price difference is about £600 so i am thinking I will go the whole hog.

I have upper strut braces front and rear, but will look at the lower too.

I intend to shift the battery to the boot, if anything to reduce the massive weight at the front.

Obligatory clear indicators but that isnt important right now.

Warlboro fuel pump and a remap from the a power FC d jetro, though I am considering autronics or life racing's F88 ecu. will need to get some mroe info on that as i don't want to go too far.

I set a much smaller budget (compared with the 22B budget) for buying engine bits and have so far I have bought.

Power FC
2.3 stroker kit
hks cams
hks pulleys
hks belts
hks fuel rail
sard injectors
exede twin plate clutch
atp 3071 turbo complete with ext wastegate up and downpipes.

that lot should keep me going a while.

Only thing I haven't bought is the suspension.

I wasn't too upset about the write off. It enabled me the chance to buy a white one like I always wanted. main problem for me has been the whiplash and the constant physio, but it should be better after about 3 or 4 more months.

and shold be done far sooner than the 22B took! Nothing bespoke this time. all bolt on, and the engne being a stright four makes head work and turbo access so much easier.
