As per the title please, must be air powered, suitable for use with my 8cfm 100l compressor and capable of dealing with typical mx5 rusty suspension, gearbox and diff/ppf bolts.

Yeh an actual gun to break stuff loose with, rather then just unwind.

Most 1/2" drive guns will cope, but anything on a small bore hose will be apparently naff. Get yourself a 1/2" bore hose and high flow fittings. If the compressor is portable, use as short a hose as you can get away with.

IR kit is really good, but I'm not sure it represents particularly good value for hobby work.

What kind of torque do you think I should be looking at? A lot of cheap guns are 240ft lbs ish, but I don't want to be left unable to undo something rusty as iv limited space and no breaker bar. Would 900ft lbs be over kill and as such a waste of money?
