Well?????????????? hows she going Peter?

All going well so far, 500 mile into the run in with no issues.

Nice one Pedro, you must feel like a kid on Xmas eve tonight..

Where are you Jase hows the car comming along?

Too much time sitting in the same spot can do a fair bit of damage in itself, My top mounts are fecked, radiators fecked, hoses in engine bay fecked and a few other little things none of which were fecked when the car went off the road. mind you its been 18 months lol Mods? Just happy to get it back semi roadworthy for just now But! New Inverted coilovers with adjustable top mounts, alloy radiator, Samco hoses, Fuel Lap pressure regulator and a Zerosports thermostat are currently on order. most of these bits are replacing other bits which are fecked though.

I have heard quite a few reports of incidents like this up here so there seems to be something in it right enough.

You wont get much of an increase in power even with a front mount TBH.

lol I wouldent go as far as saying 'solved' more tend to go bang than stay together in one peice How hard you use it, how hard previous owners have used it, milage etc all play there part I guess, I was after circa 400 or so horses and there wasnt really alot of standard bolt ons available 4 years ago good for 400(ish) when I bought it, I dont think the 321H was even on the go when I got it either so the 20G was a no brainer really. The Sti 5- 6 boxes are 'supposedly' a wee bit stronger than the earlier ones. But like your own box would depend on previous use milage blah blah blah ohh compared to my old turbo its laggy as fook lol

My gearbox has never given me any problems yet with my 20G and this is with trackdays as well but 'NO' 1/4 mile stuff after a year of use, I think mechanical sympathy goes a long way to the longtivity of these boxes. Some will get away with it others wont. Hope I havent just bloody jinxed myself lol

Nope SW dont have a web site, if Andy.F recommends Steve that should be all that need's said on the subject TBH 2.5 or 2.1 its your call really, question is how far do you want to go?

lol nope it isnt that although there are days I might think along those lines

Yup, it is turbo dependant lol FTW For The Win

Dump valve delete mod FTW!

Good write up Scot

SW Motorsport Edinburgh, Steve is responsible for some bonkers builds on here and my own very timid but 'with potential' one.

I'm just wondering how bad thats going to smell before it catches fire lol

Cant help but think 400 BHP can be done for alot less money than that, Alot of money for a Cosworth badge TBH.

There are quite a few on here from up that neck of the woods, dont worry you're in safe hands

looks more like a GP2 car unless your on about the renault?

Was hoping to bump into you as well Frank, your the only long standing member of this forum I havent met yet! yup it was looking all nice and clean thanks to who ever washed it lol

yup suspension is deffo next, never seen a top mount or all for disentegrate into powder before Still fancy the Exe TCs but dont have enough of a budget at short notice right now, might end up going for a set of BCs in the meantime

The first one wasnt all it should have been due to a problem which I'll leave of the forum, the final one was done by Steve

yup, already talked over the next round of mods for next winter with him today

After 17 months off the road and a double rebuild in that time thats the first 190 miles on the clock of the run in with no issue The run home along the coastal roads were boring, slow, and tedious . But at the same time it felt good to be back behind the wheel again. Mucho appreciated lads!!

Looks good, because of what it is it's better left unmodded IMO.
