Hi n welcome to s.o.c, nice clean example [emoji106]
By the list of mods , looks like with Stronger gearbox / clutch upgrade and it will be ready to turn the boost up [emoji41]

[frankrad]

Thanks both 

think I’ll be looking in to a 6 speed for strength as I would love 400hp+

Welcome! 

Proper spec that is .  Up to 350 on standard box is def pushing your luck!  Loving the stock exterior.

same here...my classic is 358hp on a rebuilt 5 speed DCCD with taller 5th gear, but it's at it's absolute limit..if not a little bit beyond it...I'm not a clumsy driver, nor was the previous owner (who had all the work done) so it's fine, but the thought of a 6 speed low ratio JDM DCCD and 400+ keeps me awake at night.
