Perfect example of when you mod a car to that level you should be keeping it or be prepared to take a rather large hit.

Nice enough looking car, i don't like the spoiler either but i'm sure i would change my opinion on that when the car was doing 190mph

That must be mental on the road.

I'd sooner have a 22b for that sort of money.

the 2.5 is a cosworth short engine which I think has had 14mm head stud conversion done.

yes its a short engine but cosworth only do 11mm stud kits.......maybe it has a 14mm on it......but saying that thier high tensile 11mm kit is supposed to be very strong its just gone onto my new heads

it a cracking car and a lot of performance for the money......I'm not knocking it at all but can't get the fact that a 2.5 at 665bhp is reliable in the slightest......tech always improves as we know but has cosworth got it straight away I doubt it.......it was only not so long back that taking a 2.5 over 500 would be a case of not if but when it would go.

Maybe I'm thinking to much track orientated but I know a few guys out there will be thinking the same.....how good are these blocks........
