Not bad for 8 years old - WR1 #396
Well, as the title says, my baby is 8 years old now, and she looks as good as she did when she rolled out the factory.
Nearly 80k on the clock, but I have spent an awful lot of time and money on her making she what she is today.
She is running a 2.1 litre stroked engine built by Enginetuner, which was installed approx 9k miles ago. They did an awesome job in building it, and I have them take care of all my servicing and modifications.
Also had a set of a set of BC coilovers fitted around then, which have had proper 3D alignment.
Also had various body parts resprayed approx 1k miles ago to tidy up any stone chips, and the alloys refurbished.
Just had a full valet done as well by Class One Valeting in Weymouth. Anybody from around there may know Steve Keogh, the owner, has had a couple of quick scoobies himself, and did a great job on the Valet. would recommend them to anyone.
She goes like a dream!! She is my pride and joy.

not massive power mate, it's mostly standard. Only had decat and a remap. but I wanted a good strong base to start with for the future -
336BHP (real, dyno'd BHP...)
352 ftlb Torque
Power comes in at a nice low 2900rpm on standard VF35. Properly nice drivable torquey car.
Just getting some pennies together now to hike up the power a bit.

Please don't add a bov, keep the recirc valve. Looks clean and yes 8 years on and I bet it's still a great drive, also well done for keeping it standard apart from the 2.1 bet its proper quick
