Thank you guys, its been hard work for sure but worth every second of it. Want to add this build I dedicate to Simon, he was curious how the car would perform with the setup I was thinking of so I saw it through for him. God bless you JGM

Looks amazing under the bonnet.

What's it like in terms of drivability / usability compared to how it was before, all sorted suspension and braking wise but running ish 330bhp on the standard gearbox. obviously considerably quicker now but how much does that add to the experience?

I know you're a power junkie and use to 500+ but is it really usable and fun or do you find yourself having to be careful all the time as opposed to just planting it and being able to control everything when they have less power.

In terms of drivability/usuability pretty much the same as before, only things that are different is that clutch is a lot firmer and needs revs when setting off and car it a bit lumpy below 2k rpm. Fine tuning the mapping would fix the lumpy issue but as its not a daily it adds to the experience of because race car.

It spools more or less the same as the VF28 and just pulls a lot harder, so very easy to use and expolit the power same as it was at 330bhp. Car feels solid and no issue in using the power at all.

On another note on the local roads this would annihilate my old car due to how spooly and responsive it is, yes above 6.5k the old car really would come into its own and show its muscle but this package is a perfect road car

underside of the bonnet needs more work to get it clean, as the dirt is quite stubborn

3 for me, out of those, alternatively 4. Grill trim in black with black mesh top and bottom, then black around the lights. The first 2 look unfinished to me almost like your waiting for some part that got broken, or stolen.
