im sure they are choice parts but a forged engine build is cheaper just maybe not the name, and 600bhp is 600bhp hks or not. i cant fund to do either so out of my league really lol

I reckon someone could pick that up for 10K.

Would be a bargain.

Shame I don't have the cash for it

A 600bhp build + turbo + ancillaries is more expensive. For example, the build on my engine cost close to £14000

or fit an RS box to a 400ish hp lump and it will probably out accelerate a 600hp on a normal box

You have 460bhp?

To get up to 500, the engine needs work and up-rated parts, unfortunately that step is expensive. My engine is a 1000bhp build, with the correct turbo and a gearbox that won't decide to explode on me, i could quite happily run more power, but then how useable on the road does it become? Not very; just a car with a pub figure.

I'd rather have it at the power it has got at the moment and leave most other things on the road standing :) and be able to use it as a fun car that's useable. It still odd that the car has had so much work done to it, 3 engines and its only done 13k miles! lol

I even know what happened to them! The original MIVEC was sold to fund the build, the race engine was sold and the current 8 engine is a low mileage MR unit :D Would LOVE more power for a full pin in your seat feeling, but i don't want to trade the early spool
