Its in bits again !
Turbo spun 180 degrees on outlet removing 32" or 80 cm of tubing , Moved header tank to bulkhead to lower intake temp .
Water crossover pipe off as helicoil ordered as one of the 6mm bolts has pulled its self out .
Fuel reg & purge valve moved and deyellowed some of the pipework to black

Mate, I appreciate what you are saying 100%. Thats why I have stopped at where I am. It's still very drivable at just over 400bhp and I love it.

But, it's all about choices and people who go that extra mile deserve a bit of credit for doing so IMHO.

Horses for courses and all that

noooooooooo what i asked is whats it like on track,how much fun is it to drive being able to put the power down,personally i would love to feel a big bhp scoobie on track,been in lots of other powerfull cars on track but never in one like my own!
and oulton pk is i think possibly the best road/feel track out there.
