Its been off the road since Febuary 2006 so will be nice to get started on it again. The engine Spec will be extensive & the GT40 has been upgraded although at the mo im not sure of the new Spec although it will make a lot more Power im assured. Have fitted the sensors for Traction & Launch Control, but have resisted Anti-lag. It should be on the Dyno in Febuary & on the R-R soon after, have talked to the operator & asked about holding well over 700bhp atw, he thinks it will be interesting a nice way to put it. Will also sort out the damage done by countless runs down Brunters, there wont be too many more of them thank God.

Remove the rear beam & poly bush the rear end, R&B shims & diff mount.

Decent diff

Frame connectors

But still sometimes think i'm chucking money away in order to try & get a 3dr to handle better when i could buy a E36 Evo & spend out on some big brakes,suspension & it would be a much better car to drive but i've got Cossie's in my blood
