Like the project title... took RATHER a long time to come up with it considering you ain't strayed THAT far away from the original *lol*

Hope you get the gearbox sorted on the rumble-about! 10% Meth? Jeez...

I know it took a while. Just thought it would be good as I could have the number plate R500*** but it just dawned on me the shell is on a 'P' plate so thats that idea knackered.

I also bought a very important and very unique part to do with the location of a certain part that is hugely important on a turbo car!!!

Front mount turbo kit very nice ... Ha ha

All the hard work of it being built done for me as well. Should be awesome with the least amount lag possible :hyper:

Because I will have no way of opening windows to cool down and no blower/heater

I bought this so I can let in the cold air

is it my imagination or is that one of those crazy exhausts that comes out of the front bumper......

Correct shortest possible root

This is the location of the exhaust on previous owners car

well thatl be nice and quiet lol

looks like your running out of ways to make this beastie even bigger and badder :icon_salut:

Do it right do it once :banana:

Exhaust will be loud not a massive deal to make it a bit quieter if need be

Ciaran you may have some issues with that exhaust location depending on what you are looking to use the car for.

Arch due to work commitments I am not going to have enough time to do any sort of proper events (hill climbs etc) the car will be for the like of SSO, TOTB and various track days. If in a few years I wish to compete the exhaust can always be re-routed :)

nice m8, that pic of the exhaust coming out the bumper looks like the one in a mag feature this month ????

The reason it looks the same as the one in Jap performance is because it is the actual kit the was fitted to Daz Davies car :) Picked it up from Doncaster a couple of weeks ago
