Well finally managed to go for a 10 mile spin today, got the mot done and taxed this morning.

Pulls quite well and engine revs so freely up to 8000 rpm its a little screamer!!!

I think its going to be fun!!! :D

:lol: sorry mate,

believe its willy suspension up front, lowered 60 odd mm,willy gearbox maybe, blueprinted F7P bottom end, willy manifold, devil full stainless system and de-cat and mapped to silly hi rev limit so gives it around 150bhp, but a revvy 150, not grunty like a F7R wud be

Yes its very revy, very hard on the road so should be ace on the track..........

The de carbon shocks seem to work well!!!

Looking forward to first day out on track.

Got to get some new tyres as dont fancy using slicks in the winter as not sure they will get hot enough

awesome car, the spec of it and what you got with it was second to none. if i had the money to have a designated track car that would be my weapon of choice. Love to go for a spin in a mk1 cup at a trackday with someone....... (;))

lol richy knows the score coops. Look at my post !!!!

No williams box either mate. u can blueprint more than just a bottom end, no stainless steel on my exhaust, nothing silly about 8000rpm, Evo's is set at 8200rpm.

So - coops grab that coat and shut the door behind u ! :lol:

Isn't blueprinting a case of lightening & balancing EVERY nut and bolt?

I decided to get the car trailer and clio into the garage today, a single garage that is.

Well good news is it just fits in, with the use of the winch i got the cup car onto the rear of the trailer whilst it was parked in the garage.

So all nice and secure...........
