That looks lovely mate, i like how you have brightened up the inside as pre facelift tend to look tired and very dated but i am liking this one
great spec too but aint the P1 gearbox out of it's comfort zone at that sort of power?

As for the box, yep pretty much as far as it will go. Just need to be a little considerate and it will hopefully stay in one piece. Have heard of some taking near 500 for almost a year so we'll see how we go.
If it does decide to sh*t itself then 6 speed but I'll cross that bridge when/if I come to it.

With a 20% mix you can see up to about 10% bhp gain and lots more torque.
Car feels so much better on methanol.

Not going to for now mate,I think it was the eye opener I needed and advice from yourself helped make the decision as well.
I may reconsider in the new year but for now she is staying put[especially as I've just brought some of thoses arch extensions

I'd be very interested to see it with arch extensions, was something that crossed my mind but never had the ***** to go through with it.
