4x4 should already have a L8 in it,and it will be fine for 450bhp

they usually go for around £200-£250

what year is yours racey?

my J reg 4x4 has the Green sticker to indicate lambda. (also green top engine).

chances of your 4x4 not having l8 are as high as ima having a day without upsetting someone heheh
