Was originally done by Pumaspeed, but I ripped it out and did it properly. Lasted a good 3 years without any problems and was a hell of a car, which was nicely speced. But I'm afraid that the RS the engine was originally fitted to, which rolled a few times, may have had a drastic bearing on last nights outcome. Just took its time to pop its head up

I never meant you; I meant what they did. I worded that quite badly, sorry mate.

Don't worry guys, I realised that half way home after picking her up. But I removed everything they had done and put it back it properly, so no fault there. If I would have left there work as it was, guaranteed it would have gone up sooner and I wouldn't have lived...
