Default Resurrection Type R
So over a year ago my type R engine failed, At the time I was just buying my 1st house which needed lot of work/money so I decided to put the Scoob the backburner.
The house is pretty much there now so I decided it's time to dig the Scoob out and get it sorted,

Pulled the engine out and striped down to find one exhaust valve burned/Broken up on the valve seat, so Iv fitted a set of oversized valves double springs put engine back together with a Twinscroll turbo set up, went with a vf36, 550cc injectors and a large sti 8 top mount,
Got JGM coming out tomorrow. For a mapping sesh
A little excited now

Will get some photos up shortly

Thought I better update this , mapping went well, however a few days later had oil pressure issues , turned out to be relief valve stuck, so had engine back out and sorted, then went up and had mapped on rollers up at Charlies , had a lazy fuel pump stopping play, iv got an RCM pump to go in, the car is in the body shop having a full respray haven't seen it in 4 months, I am due to get her back in a couple of weeks,
quite excited to actually drive it as iv properly only done 200 miles in a year!!
