the 400 mark sounds very good hopefully a bit more on the torque!!! will be making a start hopefully in march when i come back from mexico! One thing i would love is the ra ratio box!! my v limited had this and with the 310 it was a fun car to drive shame i couldnt bolt one on!! im not after top end i prefur how it gets there! Might get on the lookout for an insurence wright off rear end that way i get the works for engine prices! Also theres a police site that auctions off seized cars so that could be intresting!! also gives some time to save but i think the sti route has to be the best option!! Cheers for all your info on the avcs!! Some intresting stuff there!!!
