Good to hear your input on this mate! Especially about the no cool down part!

Your first build did 20k miles on a 3s yeah?

both builds did 20k miles of hard driving. That might be acceptable in a rotary, but not a piston engine haha

Haha, yeah but you were running 700bhp in one!! I'm quite keen to build up a 5s in anticipation of mine letting go too.

Btw I ended up ordering most of the bottom end bits from http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/ who were pretty helpful, hurley didnt seem to have ACL stuff and as much as I like ATS I didnt want to deal with a company across the pond for this stuff.

I'd never heard of them but apparently their more of a celica/starlet specialist.
