Well, after being laid up in the garage since mid November, my car is finally back on the road :D

Picked it up from APT on Saturday with a new MOT and just shy of 420hp at the rear wheels (graphs to follow). I'm so chuffed its back that I even drove it to work this morning!

I would imagine that 420 at the rear wheels is a rather vivid drive :) Excuse my ignorance but why was it off of the road for so long Ben?

It's quite entertaining :)

It took me a while to decide on a suitable replacement exhaust manifold after my old one broke on the way back from the November BigPower meet. I've tried quite a few different ones already (SubZero, HKS, Full Race...) and always had issues with boost creep, finally settled on Hybridynamics after speaking with Denis there. Then it was just a case of waiting for the kit to be made and shipped to the UK...
