Great feelling to finally drive it! Still got to have it sprayed though

They also tend to make up bhp figures too and when it comes to a rolling rd day something comes up

Oh and I was told by one owner he's got an instant win over my 2.1zvh as his is 4wd

The bushs are Ł15 including postage, they are rock solid. You will see them for sale on the 205gti board. Send me a PM on there same user name.

I've gotr a set of 48mm throttle bodies from a honda, was going to use these but the Jenveys came up for sale at the right time.

They are great cars, the two on our website are my mates cars, They are quick and handle really well, I have driven them both.

But as we say they think they have taken the cossie's crown, but we disagree

Thing I love with most (not all) Scoob drivers is the way they just expect to beat you and the looks on their faces as you leave them behind

Some of them though do appreciate what tuned Fords are capable of and give respect and in turn the respect is returned
