Looks very nice. Out of interest what was the reason for the roof change? To remove the sunroof? Did you spot weld the roof panel back on or just bond it on with the same bonder as bmw use on the CSL?

Gus - are you SURE your clutch/box/diffs are likely to stay vaguely together for mapping @ 700bhp?



Or do i need to dig out the text message that reads "I want to stay around the 500-550bhp mark to save the transmission"




Will be awesome when done mate, however:

Right after it strips the standard 4th gear?

Have a chat with Stu - sure he'll sort you out with a magnetic drain plug for your gearbox, that'll catch all your synchro pegs that'll have come off by the end of your road

Do you live in Grenoside Gus? I work for Royal Mail as a van driver and sure I've seen this Evo whilst delivering parcels round there!
