the car looks abit ott its been re sprayed and everything and the install is due to it being a kenwood demo car dont see how tho as most of the time its up on the ramps at well lane whenever i talk to him something always seems to be blowing up last week it was his gearbox He told me it was 240bhp and showed me the graph and spec sheet, it certainly doesnt go like one il tel you that.

zippyobrien yes i would take it to a good reputable tuner for a good setup mate

cheers for the heads up mate, i reckon a poll should be started on tuners to avoid, obviousely some sort of proff would be required before slaging them off.
