Good power at 1.5bar! What's the spec?

Seems that 400+hp is the new benchmark

Hi,

Yeah it sure is, there is a 16 page thread of the build over on 22b...The time and money that he put into it is crazy .
The mods certainly aren't going to stop though, its still running the prodrive suspension so I might get it all rebuilt or possibly get some nice coilovers, like i said though i am using it everyday though so need to watch the ride quality
Going to get it sorted for a mapping session soon and see what sort of power it will do..

What a great looking classic, you cant beat Mica Blue and those Prodrive alloys.

I am jealous you can run that as a everyday car

Superb
