Put it in perspective for you , I'm at 360hp 380torque and I'm in it for 7-8k excluding a 6 speed gearbox setup 2k++(which you probably won't need) suspension upgrades to handle the extra power and most importantly brakes. You're stressing every aspect of the car and this is where they become a money pit.
Not ideal if relying on it as a daily driver or tipping about.
If you want more power move on and get an Sti IMO , but you'll probably do your own thing anyway.
Great torque out of the td04 by the way
[/quote]dont think i could bring myself to sell the car so hard to find a decent classic these days they do come up but not very often i can see what u saying and 7-8k would get me a newage sti for the extra power ? currently running standard suspension so maybe i could make a start in the handling department what is a good suspension setup on these

Then go suspension, tyres and brakes route .
As regards geometry , most fast road setting are all the same so a good lad should be able to dial in , should take 1-1.5 hours depending on seized bolts etc.
You don't have to have previous experience with Cosworth or anything like that they are only settings.
I'd recommend Wagon dec on here
