Whats the new engine spec? LOVE the std headlights and the RL7's, looks the bollocks on a flat black car, tempted to put my std lights back in....
New engine is
new .5 Mahl pistons and rings, uprated water and oil pumps, lightened and balanced bottom end, fully overhauled cylinder head, all cosmetic gaskets and ARP bolts and studs. Turbo is a new TT T35.55. Clutch is a new AP 6
When run in, will be mapped on Siemens blacks and done by NMS, so hoping for 380 bhp ish?
Only other bits i want is 300mm rears and gold bells
