Thanks for the welcome! Mods wise,the motor has forged rods,ported head with piper cams,gt3071 turbo,full 3inch exhaust,HKS evc6 boost controller etc. No idea on the power but at 1.8 bar it traps the 1/4 around 119mph,does 60-100mph in around 4.5sec and 60-124 in 8.5 sec ish on gps.On track it runs 1.3bar in the dry and 1 bar in the wet lol!

Suspension 2way adjustable gaz dampers,solid top mount with as much castor as i can get,fatter roll bars,solid subframe bushes,quaife ATB.Has 2 carbon bucket seats no rear seats,and i have a carbon pannel in the roof in place of the sunroof.Brakes are Stoptec 332x32 floating discs with carbotech XP12 pads up front and XP8 in the backs.

Pop over and i will take you for a lap if you like?!

No not yet -waiting until the winter or until it breaks not so much a issue on track.

I have had a lot of other issues to sort -hopefully should be ok for snett though
