Default Dream spec

Ok I'm bored

I'm thinking 600bhp, FFD gearbox and capable diffs, T6 ECU, Bling looking engine bay with loads of goodies and aeroquip ( ) Big turbo with external wastgate etc, Ahmed Group-A rear beam, Konis and Leda springs (road car), 380mm AP's front and matching big rear brakes with hydrolic handbrake, Nappa custom leather interior, Standard concours body and looks bar RS500 grills, 18" OZ mag wheels with top of the range tyres, quailty number plate (my dream plate is 79 PR ), Proper ICE install (nothing gay looking just subtle and audiophile )

...well that would be my road going Esc Cos... my track one would be the Repsol WRC before the WRC body kits came out.. perfection


Anyone else gotta dream spec

A dog box is a dog box . You will need ear-plugs - sorry didn't you hear me, YOU WILL NEED EAR-PLUGS! .

Slow speed driving is a chore and when it engages first gear it does so with a THUNK that shudders through the car. It just becomes TOTALLY wearing unless you're on 10/10ths the WHOLE time , but you'll soon see .
