Default Black Prodrive style bugeye sti uk

Thought I'd finally post a few pictures as I got a da for Xmas and some other cleaning goodies





















Another good reflection shot after correction







Was hard work as it was only my first time with a machine polisher, really pleased with the results everyone should have one! Hope you like the bug.

Thanks mate, handling is pretty much sorted with white line and ast goodies. I might go for a billet sc38 as it's only a road car so want to keep fast spool.

Just looked at your thread Harri and your bug is coming along a treat! The power you're at now is where abouts I want to be. Only a road car though so I'll keep top mount and make it as fast spooling as I can, already have a 3 port and Perrin intake with green panel filter so a new turbo is top of the wish list.

Yeah the power its at now is nice I didn't expect the jump form 335 to 385 to be as noticeable as it was the thump in the back from the 20g is addictive!!

The sc38 u mentioned with your set up should make a very punchy road car!
