Liking this new section.

So, having had my 2 for 2 years and done quite alot to the suspention etc. I couldnt part with it but craved more power, a trip in a turbo had me hooked. There it was I knew a converstion had to be done.

In 2006 it went in to Peter Gidden of Sbits for the converstion, at that time a full rev3 tubby rear clip was hard to come by Peter had one and was doing the conversion so that was it.

Obviously with the engine out its the best time to bolt on some mods so, an extreme boost down pipe, Japspeed exhaust, apexi induction kit, HKS SSQV, Apexi AVCR, XS power IC, ATS racing engine fan, Autometer guages and painted rocker cover had to go on.

Before, an n/a, no slouch tho

Now as it is today with lots more elbow grease, mods and chrome.
