I have to agree they are about the best priced / quality items out there. I wanted the spc ones but they refused to supply me from the us, only thru eibach over here but I ain't paying there prices!!
Although they do some nice hollow arb kits I have been looking at :-)

I want some mods done to the tornado cage fitted in the reyland, across the bulkhead, better pickups on front and rear struts and some gusseting from cage to the chassis. I just don't have the time to measure up and make moulds of what I want to send to tornado do searched the net and fouń this guy about 20 mins from home http://tube-bender.co.uk/

He is coming round Tuesday night after work to take a look and measure up so will let the forum know how it turns out, already impressed with the response of no probs I will come after work and we can sort out what you want :-)))

If only all were so helpful !

Always an interesting read, and well done, the bender guy.

90% way above my head, but changing pads for me is a challenge!!!!!!

Keep the reports coming in, will be a monster when its finished.

Hope so Pete.

Almost blew the budget when a 600hp+ freshly built motor came along lol!
But that will have to wait till I can get it running the rear wheel.

600 plus would need AWD to make full use of it surely? 400 through the front is probably the limit I would think otherwise you'd be wrestling with it and be needing arms like Popeye!

[Noobrider]

we just built an Astra with a 2ltr turbo red top thats pushing 320Bhp. I would say 300 is about the limit for FWD as the wheels just light up all the time and the torque steer and total understeer makes it almost undriveable.

[Quadcam24]

depends on a few things tbh, fwd can handle over 300 but you preferably want a large turbo that can run low boost instead of a small turbo running high boost, that will help keep torque down, then you need a progressive map for a linear delivery, good tyres, lsd etc.

Done some tuning in Jan for low boost just ramped up the boost and didn't add any timing at all, from 10.6 psi AFR's from 6k rpm to 9k rpm where 10.5 pig rich but it was to see % of power for boost.
On the road at 13.7psi is was easy to drive, I would drive it n track and would not expect problem with torque or understeer.
It's how you dial in the rest of the car that counts, so it can be done if you know how to set up the car.
