The exhaust arrived yesterday from Dozza,he was spot on with his description it is a work of art.I hope it sounds as good as it looks.The plan is to put the car off the road at the end of October then over the winter Ryan will fit the forged engine which is being built by
AS Performance.We will then be speaking to Thwaites of Warwick to sort out the mapping,not too far to trailer the car and they have a good reputation.

Nice job Dave, it should be some car when it's finished - if any project car is ever finished that is.
Just avoid those deer around the RFOD.

They're great FMIC's, very well made and fit perfectly unlike cheaper kits that need major fettling to make them fit let alone fit properly.
I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.
