Hi all, Bought my 03 brand new and left it stock until a month or so ago. Daily driver, and flogged it senseless for over 5 years, a couple of clutches and the normal pinging but all good......until I spun a bearing and that was all she wrote.

Bel Garage are doing the work for me. EJ25 short block with a few bits and bobs; Front mount; Intake kit, a new clutch (#3!), upgraded fuel pump etc  in so far and a run in tune - only 600kms on the clock  and already indicating good promise re torque and drivability. Left the TT in place and will install boost controller and exhaust once we get a few more kms on board and dial up the boost to see how she goes. Gear box is gonna go next though. Fragile little things these B4s can be.  Happy to keep thread up to date and add more specific details if interested, and as we progress the dev of the car.
