Couple of guys are running in the 500 club on here, i'm sure they will be more than happy to let you know how they got there :) Most aren't on til a bit later though.

You will be looking at a fair old wedge of cash to get there, you have some sort of budget?

to be honest its not worth running 500 bhp, are you after that figure to big it up in ya local pub? or are you gonna use the car for track days etc? do you know the running costs of 500bhp? ask how many use their 500bhp evos as everyday cars? whats your insurance gonna be like? can you cover the cost on fuel and if anything breaks?

where are you from? i know someone who has built a few 500+ engines and is a mitsubishi tech.

will not be running every day mate will be a toy and somethink to build myself bit by bit. atm i am using a ep3 honda civic type r turbo running 360bhp on half a bar of boost. i dont think the petrol and insurance will be much different. i am getting about 7mpg on that and the insurance is 4500 lol but want somethink 4wd now. i am from berkshire bracknell

yeah i was going for the 500bhp just to keep up with my mates cars to be fair lol
got a 400bhp supercharged 350z
a 430bhp mk2 focus rs
a 400bhp supra tt
500bhp cosworth

mate a 400/400 evo will out handle all of them and without being fast round the bends they will lose the race!

I think you'll find 400/400 will leave the 350Z, focus RS, supra tt on the track the only one you might struggle with is the cosworth if it's 4wd Escort if it,s a 2wd give them a ride in your 400 brake evo;)
