No Alex. It's a custom system.

WOW! Saw it in the flesh this evening and the pictures really don't do this car justice, it looks great in the pics, it looks better in the flesh!

Thanks for the little run in it too........HOLY SH************T!!!!! The noise, even running zero boost is absolutely epic! I cannot wait to hear this thing on full chat!!! You can feel the potential this thing has the way it pulls even off boost.

The new suspension gives it an awesome stance too! . Ride is firm but not uncomfortable in the slightest and no banging or crashing about like some I've experienced.

Mightily impressive Frayz! I know it's not quite finished yet but it's something you should be very proud of in my opinion.

My rarest find to date,

Ive wanted one of these for years, but Prodrive stopped making them a while ago. Ive managed to finally trace a genuine works S7 WRC carbon vent brand new with the prodrive sticker on it.

Taken years to finally find one, then out of sheer fluke i found this. I cant wait to cut the bonnet for this badboy.

My rarest find to date? I think so!

Spent the last 2 days reading this thread, I am just speechless at the attention to detail and the time taken to do everthing 100% right and the engine bay is just Fan-fooking-tasic. Seeing this I just wish I put a little more time into my own, I took mine off the road May 2010 and I turned the key to my new self built fully forged Ej257 in March 2011.

Man I wish the very best with the car ,its a credit to you and I read one of your post explaining the history with the car and that you were disheartened but I''m glad you found the love again and created the best project thread and car on SN

All the best mate

Barry

Dyno has many advantages especially when playing with 500+ horses

Was great seeing the car at the tunnel run Frayz...

Only way I can describe the experience to those that havnt seen the car but followed the project build thread...

Its like your mates daughter, she was young when you first knew of her, but over the yrs she's come of age, matured and ripened until you finally meet her one night when you're out and she's lookin sexy, ready and preped for action

She's a thing of beauty mate, inside and out pure class!
