Looking good mate, liking the idea of the Duratec on TBs. Will be interesting to see how that goes. What is the base power of the engine before you touch it?

ok ok, I know I've been a bit bad with the white/blue Mk2 not getting finished (too used and abused), the rwd XR2, (too much work on a rusty car), the black RS2k not even being owned for a week (to nice to chop up and arch) but this is it, I promise!lol. I will own and finish a car within 2 years. alledgedly!lol. I've not had an awesome road car since the Escos in my avatar, 5 years ago! My old rallycars have been cool, but I really miss having em on the road. This will be mainly for sprints, but a few rallies and trips out on the road are planned 100%.
