It will happen but not for a while now. Its been put on the backburner after talking to some people who said I should really only go to 300 without rebuilding the engine with new rings, bearings, and seals. Can't be bothered with the effort for 300 so I'll wait until the engine is re-built in future, and play with N/A mods for now. :)

It's... it's like we told you this!

But the block is good for 500hp! ;)

If you fully re-build it with new stock internals first... :o

Probably going to do some head and intake mods for now. Blahh. lol

I recall a similar scenario when a few of us mentioned how intense a body restoration can be ;) and whilst what you've done so far is alright you can now appreciate some of the comments people made at the very start of the project.

I could press on and build it to 300HP instead which would still make it rapid, but not as rapid as I was aiming for.

Have you ever driven anything over 200bhp? The difference between 2 and 300bhp is quite something. You certainly wouldn't be sat there thinking... '300bhp sux, if only I had an extra hundred'

The difference between the 170hp it has now and 250hp is going to be pretty big let alone the difference between 170 and 400

I know but go big or go home. I wanted to go balls to the wall when I did it. :p

Yeah I test drove a Mazda 3 MPS with a BBR 320 kit, it was awesome! So I do see your point! But originally I wanted 400HP so I could take it to the drags with a bit of sleeper status, but drive it on low boost at 300~ most of the time.
 
Where are the car pics?

Too much Acme spam and not enough pics of people's cars, thread needs an admin to clean it up.

Probably posted these before but at least it's car pics.
