Joe,

You will most definitely have the most comfy, tactile proper track day car out there....Unfortunately, you will need the Harrop just to drag all your creature comforts around with you! :groupjump:

...Will I have to take my shoes off when you take me for a PAX ride?

...it looks fab mate! I can't wait to see it.


:lol: thank you and ha it's not that much heavier ;) it will be a beast on the track but will still be able to pop out in it :blink:

No keep your shoes on I don't want your stinky feet staining the matts :lol:

Well nice little update:

I now have a shiny exhaust system Imnotworthy 3" with 2" primaries with a silenced Decat aswell :)

I have wrapped the manifold, silencer and both u Bends on the back box :)

Jimmy come round to drop my shocks back off so they are now fitted! Well 3 and a half of them anyway ;)

I also fitted a jegs can for my oil catch can which they run in America so hopefully will work fine here:

Ha ha, I love the VX attitude at work here! Anybody would think we were talking about air con and electric windows that most marques have to deal with when in reality we mean a material finish for a few plasitc dash plates :lol:

Hardcore!

However Max, afer Joe ripped my heater out a few weeks ago, he's refusing to ditch his own..... :rolleyes:

worry guages :) surely what you need for SC applications is a timer which tells you how many minutes have elapsed since topping up the oil :gayfight:
