Spec is the same like before, only new magnesium intake.
Some parts in trans. was destroyed, so I don't know if it still got the
active diffs.

This car is awsome, the wheels are clearly for the snow and i am amazed that some people even mentioned them , imagine 19'2 and slicks in the snow 
It would be interesting to see a resto thread on this,

plus I reckon even the clear rears suited it! Looks like the rad in the boot works differently now mate - the two window scoops feed air through it from the top & out through the floor??
Fair play - that must have took some work to get the car back into shape, had some pretty bad rear 1/4 & roof damage if I remember!
Great to see it back - Awesome!!!!

Sorry am I missing something here? why is everyone saying it's not as good?
Erm... It's in snow/ice spec, which means the suspension has been increased and it's running Snow wheels and tyres, drop it about 50mm and add some 19" Speedlines and it'll look exactly the same bar the Graphix

I think the new Reyland car and the Jenspeed car are another league from Lloyd, A1 WRC and the AM Fiesta 
how ever awesome those cars are
Reyland V Jenspeed..... On track I reckon the Jenspeed car because he has thrown serious amounts of cash at it, its a proper blank cheque job fully active and reiger suspension Not that Martin hasnt but the blue car probably cost twice Martins to build He can also seriously drive not that Martin cant do that either but Stian looks very handy behind the wheel
But Martins would win on top speed due to engine design spec, also not sure what gearing the xtrac boxes have might be maxed out at 150 mph
The blue car had the better spec but at a cost so if you measure it in a bang for buck Reyland Rules

no mate aint seen that but i still think it wouldnt be as easy cut as tht as martins car is all new and has cost some where near 100k in parts alone and is compleatly untried as yet and could easily surprise all of us

bet a good wedge of that is the xtrac active stuff remember Martins is still passive.. anyway as I said in the other post both top cars
I would love to afford a car like that
