Nice to hear people commenting and appreciate how much work has gone into it

its a 2.3 forged running just under 500bhp and 490ft/lb of torque on high boost so goes as well/aggressive as it looks smile

It was the authentic squeaky brakes that did it for me, lovely car.

Great meet again Bart, I really enjoy this addition to the calendar.

See you all next month.

I have a video of it Mart, all be it about as in focus as Noel Gallagher's vision after a heavy session. I'll try and post it up in a bit as I'm at work and it's on the phone device.

Cool, thanks mate smile

The exhaust setup is pretty recent - 3" custom downpipe with a race cat. What did you think of the noise?

I can get it to blow fire if I spank it but I couldn't build enough boost for it to flame when I left (and the wife was moaning lol)

high boost is putting to much strain on the current clutch, so low boost for a few months then new clutch time,



did anyone get any video's of me leaving?
