looks and sounds awesome

is that a 4x4 head and exhaust manifold? if so, should clear inner wing ok, but should have some support from a damper somewhere.

From what I've seen & been up agains't his engines do the business !

Remember a couple Rs turbo's round Sutton ways he built the lumps for - they went really well both 1900's if i remember correctly, gave me a propa run for me money down the mile in my Cossie runnin Stage 3 . Not that i'd admit that at the time cos one of the fellas was a rival & couldn't tell him i actually thought he could of passed me at one point ! PMSL.

Credit where credit due tho.

Oh was that B19 LBP or something ? ? ? Was gonna buy that but it came to an end before i got the chance !

But all good cos i got a propa one anywayz !

Thing about your turbo was, even tho we was rivals n all that i always thought if i eva do another RS turbo it would look just like yours ! Again credit where due, you know how to make a mota look just right It defo had the go to match the looks !

Me on the other hand just knows how to make em quick & forget the rest ! LOL

Yeah i see Tim run the 12.9 ! Couldn't believe it, had to ask him if i was seein things ! LOL Technology is a wicked thing init !

Yeah man, it's all about the RWD (real wheel drive ) when i drive my brother Escy i just get so bored its un true - do like the sound of the box tho

Bruv, you know that with the mile ! It's gotta happen like the good old days - did you hear Paul Humphries say a 2wd Saph now ? LOL

Yeah man, 4w drifts is wicked

BUT.... The way i see it is, when you got the back end out in a 2wd you got the front wheels givin you a little control & direction - whatcha got when you got all four wheels spinnin ? NOTHIN !

Sod that u nuttah LOL

Has Mich still got the Saph ? FVW init ?
