This is mine, http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ead.php?t=1112 but I can't see the pictures these days. It is a MY05 Type-25, so has the forged pistons but is not the Cosworth motor. Mine is giving 350 bhp/380 ft lb and for me that's fine. I ran it in carefully, and although it used to use a bit of oil in its younger days, nowadays it uses virtually nothing.
I'm not sure which version of the ASTs the T25 you'll be looking at has, mine are the 12-way adjustible. Compared to the standard items, apart from the lower stance they give a much smoother ride, so fillings stay in longer . There are 3-way adjustible versions available too, but I don't know much about them.

I originally went to Litchfield's to test drive a spec C and compare it against a standard JDM car, but the only JDM car he had was a T25 (which has since had the Cosworth motor fitted) and I was suckered!
