Welcome onboard Steve

Bloody impressive car, I've always perved over it on the gtr register :D I'll be honest, I didn't know you had the 2.8 kit in yours and it certainly goes some way to explaining the torque :smoke: Can you upload a dyno sheet when you get the chance? Two things (amongst many others) that distinguish BigPower from other sites is the zero tolerance for monkeys that bullshit and the avoidance of text talk. The dyno figures help to back stop bullshit in it's tracks (I know your car but a lot of guys on here don't) and the text talk ban mean that people over 30 can still understand what's going on ;)

Hope to see you at some of the meets whether they are track days, drag events (we will be having our own too), dyno days or the monthly meets at Snetterton Race Circuit.

Enjoy your stay and feel free to put some pictures up or start a project thread.

Cheers

Stu

Thanks for the warm welcome guys (hello Geoff :wink: ) and im glad everyone likes the car.
Stuart, will post up my dyno results as soon as i can get to a scanner.
Ron and the lads at RK Tuning built the engine, they have done a sterling job.
Got the car mapped by the one and only 'Tweenierob' who totally transformed it into the beast it is now.
