^ Sounds like you're not taking a step backwards anyway.

E46 M3 would be my choice.

Will the next one be taken as far as this one?

Donal,

Make sure you get something quicker to justify increase in road tax with big engine!

The sound of all cars up there would be much better then GTI!

This car should be back in my possession in the next while.

The plan is a trackish setup but still road legal, something along the lines of SteveP's or NeilM's.

It's back completely standard at the moment, and my Dad has it fairly wrecked tbh. But I'll make it awesome again.  :driver:

I'm emmigrating for a year shortly so it'll just be a build up of parts for a while.

I have a GT28 setup in the garage, turbo needs a rebuild but it's handier than going K04 all over again, and I want something a little different. I plan to do the rods too so should see around 400hp or so I reckon.

Other plans: Decent suspension (VWR maybe), brakes, diff and maybe a half cage.

Genuinely excited to be starting this over again.  :party:

Bringing this back from the dead. Donal, when you installed your EVO x wheels, what modifications needed to be made?
