hi Nij,

I would really think twice bout buying a shell as you never know whats happened to this car before. You can pick a shell up for bout 5-10k but that also depends on the condition. These shells are usually joined back in workshops and what not. If you have the resources (as some do) you can get a registration card.

There are only a couple of 280BHP originals running around. But the difference is so small (if you know how to tell ;) that is!!)

so what should i go far as i am a complete noob..... when it comes to RE`s

Just get a set of high cams when u get your RE and it'll be easy to achieve 280whp.

hey dude..if u think still not fast enuff...put a single turbo then...the price is about the same as wat u pay for a 280hb halfcut....the single turbo even much faster than 280hb engine originally~~!!!!

Noticable Difference:

1) ABS Unit
2) Vacuum Hoses (280 is simplified)
3) Turbo
4) Metal Y pipe
5) 16bit ECU

This is what comes to mind. Can pop my bonnet later and update ;)

I would think that for the cost . You would be better if you just up grade your current engine . The eariler FDs had a 265-255hp rating . With a few bolt-ons , you would find yourself in the 280hp bracket . I would recommend you start with the reliablity mods first . Full servicing , that would be all fluid change . Full checking of suspension mounts and bushings . Aftermarket - AST tank , Radiator . You can also get a better intercooler or you can go cheap :D and get some one to custom up better ducting to your stock intercooler .

whats the difference internally within the engine between the two.....
besides all the extras like ABS.....etc
