Judging by the 'wings' on it - its similar to a L6...

Looks about right but don't take my word

If you're putting it on cossie management - stop being tight and buy a L8

Lol - fair point

To be honest mate - from that pic/advert - it'd be wrong of me to say yes or no...

A L6 will not offer you anywhere near as many options in the future as a L8 - but ultimately - it's your car and your wallet

Think about it - you can have Wasted Spark, Closed Loop, Anti-Lag, Launch Control etc. on a L8

There's nothing wrong with L8 if you have all those features listed above...

It just comes down to your preferences and your budget.

Depends who your tuner is and thier preferences as well

Its all a learning curve for me mate, I dont really know any tuners well enough (or have the cash to) to sit down and discuss the options, I'm just reading everything I can and bugging people about it
So, i'll be doing everything myself and then getting a base map, then getting it to a tuner.
I'm drawn to weber purely because its cheap and it works lovely on the saff

Looking at your location, you mention the mersey...

Blackpool isn't a million miles away and Motorsport Developments are capable of doing all the various bits to the L8 and have many satisfied customers on here

If you need a hand speccing your requirements - feel free to drop me a PM and i'll do my best to help

My saff came with a folder full of reciepts from your place mate, and there's normally a pic of my car in Stu's articles in Fast Ford
