Default Well, its over, the shell goes tomorrow

Not really been too bad breaking the car, most stuff went like hot cakes and the bits that are left are/will be going on ebay.

Only the leather interior left and that is the last big thing to sell, I think it will be a sad time to see the shell for the last time.

On a plus side, it is off to NMS, and it will live to see probably twice the power I was running I would have thought.

Sad times , but it means there is room for upgrade now

Yeh cheers pal, the last drive I took it on down to my mums in the countryside to break it, I gave it PROPER beans, 4th gear was mind blowing.. quicker than my old 2wd saff and quicker than a f360 spider id recently been out in, and a 340bhp escos..

My next "toy" will have to have some grunt to be similar...

Lee I will mate.

Need to think about work tho, and getting a "sensible" car and be bored shitless with it.

Thinking on a newish Golf TDCI or whatever they are, get some big rims on it and a remap and be done.

Then after a few months book it into NMS for a YB transplant

Yeh my mate was telling me he had it remapped, and now has an output of around 180bhp, so not too shabby really for a A>B car, good economy as well he says when driven sensibly.

I believe they cost around the 10K mark tho.

OH Topic title, I still have the shell, its been postponed for a week.

Same time, same place, next week folks
