    @nicklulu I’m kinda really lucky with costs got help & expertise in a mate… soon to be about 10K, but looking at upgraded clutch, huge set of stoppers for the front…. so guess ill be around 15-16K all done….

    But for that I’ve have complete new motor with 2.0L block very capable of 600 bhp, big turbo & Cammed… all parts new ford OEM, down to nut and bolt level (still have my stock motor as is, 95% complete on a pallet.. only using my injectors really, even got new timing cover and rocker cover 😊)….

    New crank, 1000 hp rods, lightweight pistons… oil control system, balance shaft delete…

    Mild ported & polished head piper cams and upgraded springs…

    Rebuilt my gearbox better and stronger carbon syncs & diff…

    Replaced more or less every mount for power flex ones….

    Bigger high flow spec R boost pipes…

    and as I’m in for a penny….. i might do the KW’s all round & thinking pandora alarm… just for the remote start function, then I’m done, really done! Other than carbon bits?? & seats and interior stuff will have to wait for next year…… Β πŸ€”πŸ™ƒ

    I could easily claw back 3-5K if i decide to sell my stock low mileage motor? Could of saved myself 1.5-2K by using my engine as a donor engine…
