Well, this is Blair's 190e, his name is Clifford. The engine has been the biggest project. It started out life with as a 2.0l - 8v with a whopping 89kw. Blair couldn't handle the lack of power and ended up dropping in a 2.4l - 8v and supercharging it. It now has a slightly healthier output of around 170kw (230hp), when he gets around to it Blair is hoping to take the boost from 6 pound to maybe 8-9 pound. Anyway here are most of the mods he has done.
