It's finally here !!!
Discussion
After having first driven it last July, & buying it in November - I finally picked my car up yesterday with all the mods complete.
A big thanks to Matt & Dave for the great service, of course, but also for all the advice and help from people here - even if most of it did cost me money!
It's a very different beast to anything I've had before - and is it loud! - but it's surprising how quickly I have got comfortable with it - loving every minute.
I've put 200 gentle miles on the engine so far - another 300 to go and it's back to Dave next week for oil change and final check over then it's time for mapping as soon as possible. Can't wait !!
Regards
Graham

OK - not even had chance to clean it yet but here it is now! ?!
mod list is a bit long but -
It already had :
Roush Exhaust & Cats
Pro Alloy Intercooler, Radiator & Hard Pipe kit
Track Day Sump
6 speed box with LSD
It now also has :
Forged Pistons

I think that must be about it as far as the actual mods go - things kind of grew as we went along
Put another 75 miles on it today - absolutely loving it but this "no full throttle, no boost, no more than 3000 revs" is getting a little old!
Roll on getting to mapping!

Well, I would rather think of it as my new car , but yes it was owned by PH'er Twerlie in the past.
It's Porsche Zenith Blue and it changes colour quite markedly in different lighting conditions - from really quite dark blue/purple in shade to quite a light purple in bright sunshine.
Took it out for the day and drove down toi the Cotswolds today, so miles on the new engine are up to 433 now!
