Thanks for the comments , forgot to add the following

The clutch started slipping after it had been upped to 370bhp, having looked around at a few different types I decided to try a Competition Clutch from Japspeed. I'd looked around and found these which are fairly new to the uk i believe and after talking to there tech department I decided on the 6 plate sprung paddle clutch.
While fitting the clutch and with very kind use of a friends ramp at his garage I undersealed all of the car to protect it against the climate here. Was pretty much spotless underneath so was easy to strip down and then treat




Finally this is the new turbo next to a vf22 i believe



should hopefully return some good figures.

On the braking front I have just purchased a 335mm Godspeed setup with overhauled calipers from here, these will be going on the to do list along with a set up uprated whiteline rear anti roll bar mounts I got recently. Coupled with the rear whiteline anti roll bar and front and rear droplinks on it already i'm hoping to have sorted out the handling.

More to come soon once the cdb is strpped down and sent off for machining
