    Superb, biggest EFR turbo, wedged block bigger valves, double springs, full forged, Polished head I do not like, but ok... Is it the original oil pump? Was anything done to crank, or crank bearings? Is it 86, 86,5 or 87 pistons, Wossner, Wiseco or something else? Thumbs up for Gripper LSD!!! Awesome car, great video!. One thing, what is average engine life with this setup if you really use it? Can you do 5000 miles without serious wear to piston rings, how much oil does engine consume on rough driving?

    Don't get me wrong, £35k is a hella lot of money, but if that's the cost to build this beast, then it's not that expensive when you think about it. How much would cars out the factory with that capability cost? Hats off to the fella!

    Then there’s this absolute weapon, now this is how you build, well thought out and a sprinkle of taste makes a very nice VXR
