Stu, I need another ride in the porker if you're putting out that kind of ponies now, was pretty rapid last time, this time should be immense!

I hope it makes it to the ferry at Harwich

If you want me to test drive it for a few weeks before you get back, just ask Santa Pod is quite close

This is a well known car at a good price ( due to higher miles)

Having driven a Manthay Racing 996 Turbo around Dono (X50 GT2 turbos, 520bhp and KW suspension), you couldn't give me one (sorry Stu!). I don't like the way the 4wd shuffles the power around the car.

I've not driven a 996 GT2, but I don't like the look of them and also as said, didn't really want another FI car.

I contemplated a GT3, but the best ones are the 996 versions (according to the afficionados) and I don't like the look of them, along with a CSL being just as quick, better looking (IMO) and twice as practical. I can't afford a 997 GT3 RS v.2 (the one that is considered the next best), as they're still around the £90-100k mark and again, for what I want to use the car for, I'd could justify having that amount tied up in one car that I was too scared to use properly (I'm not one for having a car just to look at and say I own).

Ha, ha - it will be break something - I hope you can turn the boost down ?

We shall see.. The gearbox is going to Germany for strengthening and the rest tbh is mainly bolt on. Brand new fuel system and max boost will be 1.5 bar. Will hopefully have a Syvecs S8 fitted around end of the year then ill keep it like that. Already got the brakes and suspension done. Looking homeward to having a car that can handle its own in all areas.

Not sure who the Snetterton day is with but be good to see how the 911 fairs against yr Escort...

Remind me nearer the time .

You never did tell me why you got this as opposed to the GTR (I was looking forward to looking after that for you )?

Speak to Wayne Gibson, he seems to be getting good power from them.
Ask a guy on here called Hazy (Adam), he has his car looked after by Wayne. Its a race car, Im sure he will advise you better than most on here.

Gibson brothers racing iirc.

May I ask why you want more HP?

I think I read in one of your posts because you may get bored? <-- is that the reason?
