Hey Pete,
Liking the sound of your plans mate, I have paid a deposit on my cams now so I might see you there in the spring I think the lead time is another 8-10 weeks so im probably looking at some time in May. Have you had any more thoughts on the wheels mate? Might be worth hanging on to your OEM set even if you do change and have a set for the winter & summer . Those 24mm Progress Anti roll bars come with a nice Progress Tie bar mate so that might be something to consider, its basically a thicker version of the JDM ARB and is adjustable too, that coupled with a set of control arms will finish off the back end nicely.
You are in a good position with yours because its already producing good figures, you could easily extract another 10bhp NA by changing a few bits & bobs. 3" exhaust, De-cat, ported RBC with a 70mm throttle body would see you hit 265 mate but it would set you back around £800 plus a remap/tweak. Least you know you can get more power should you want it, you could also look at aftermarket valve springs too for a few more bhp & more revs.
Clearance is not brilliant mate, I will try and get a pic for you tomorrow when I give it a clean
I think 265bhp should be achieveable with the stage 2 cam & springs, the 3" exhaust should help matters to but I'm going to play it safe with 260 and anything else would be a bonus. That is realistically as far as I can take it power wise without spending thousands & thousands
Changing the final drive next would offer the best value for money but I will have to wait and see about that one haha
