Great spec.

Why mess with the P1 wheels though! Maybe because of the 6 pots? I just dont think P1 wheels should be messed with

Had no choice ,as you said ,p1 wheels would not fit over the brakes ,so went for 8" x18" wheels,i think they look o.k

Marty,

Do you live near Solihull, i passed a P1 (with RCM sunstrip) through Catherine De Barnes last weekend (not one just gone).

Sounded good if it was yours, i was in a green MY01 classic.

The intercooler is a APS 725 for a new age scooby,(same one thats on the iceland car) If you want to fit one to a classic scooby ,you will have to modify the front of the car,not just the bumper
The intercooler costs around £1200
