Mechanically, she is in brilliant nick so putting perishables and wear and tear aside, what parts do I need to uprate?

Here's my first stab...

1. Ductile liners (£395)
2. Forged pistons and rods (£800)
3. Uprated turbo -I've been told that the turbo from the Nissan 200SX fits straight onto the manifold - need to confirm. (£250)
4. Remap - fortunately MEMS3 can be taken to the desired power (and beyond apparently). (£400? - some variables to this)
5. Uprated fuel injectors - not sure which to go for (£150)
6. Gearbox - I believe the ZT's use a Getrag setup. Is anyone aware of a good uprated set up that other motors use? The standard set up might be ok if I don't stress it too much but if there's a good alternative I'd be keen to investigate. (£???)
7. FMIC with as few pipes as possible (£200)
8...
9...
10...

I'm glad the cranks good for 300bhp, keeps the bill down a tad.

I'll add parts to the list as they come in - might be a useful for others.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

James
If it ever got on the road, a stock of replacement underpants might be useful!
