ej207 off an v7 sti, forged conrods, pistons, semi closed deck and you can push over 2bar with a 34/35 into it as stace has all shown us, by far the best bang for buck. also 8k rev limit or for those that wanna push it 9k like the guy at targa taz had

its it worth goin hardcore on my 2000 non-sti (MY01 100,000kms)? considering g/box and diffs... and other shit that'll break? or in the long run am i better off just getting standard repair job and upgrading to a better car later (sti/evo)...?

cheers, Luke.
