Thought I'd put up a few pictures up seeing as I'd mentioned it in my Corsa thread! Sadly it's my dad's and not mine but that doesn't matter, it's still great fun as a passenger!

It's all totally standard apart from the Tubi exhaust, which sounds very nice in comparison with the standard setup.

Thanks for all the kind comments, he bought it earlier this year after having a 430 with the F1 box which he really didn't like. You could see why the F1 box was good for on the track and getting quick gear changes, but on the road it was very jerky and quite hard to get on with especially after using a car with PDK which is so much smoother.

The manual is far better but getting the gear changes right seems a fine art, as the fly wheel is so light as soon as you push the clutch in the revs drop, so you almost need to prod the accelerator as you go up the box.

It's on the drivers mirror but not on the passenger.
