Nice new motor matey

Shame about the Saff, but hey times change.

Is that the one that was also out at Mallory? I think I overtook a similar car a few times while I was there

Not tracking the Evo then?

Either way, new car looks awesome

Poor little car's in for shock then! When I first glanced at the pic I though for a minute you'd bought the Gobstopper

285/20/19s? Always one upman ship with you

I'm going for some 24" spinners just to totally out do you!
Forest arches as a next mod for the Evo, so I get some 305 wide rubber on.

I will not be beaten!!!

Look forward to seeing it a track near me soon - when is the first outing?

and i will have a 241 (when i have 200bhp)

i only have 200 BHP per ton at the moment

jc has a long ration box mated to the rear end of a RA box to allow him to keep the DCCD

its the reason why i never went for a RA,,, then JC told me how to do it and said it aint that hard

why you not like motorways pmsl

jc's one has a few mods to it, its a fooking quick car !!!

Ha Bask how,s things fella??

Great cars mate the RA, ihad a V6 V-LIMITED, had it mapped by Bob rawle it it made 337bhp/329 ft/lb, ok not the ost power ever BUT with it,s lack of weight and close ratio box it was absolutly mental mate, it got to 130 mph in no time at all...

You,ll enjoy it fella.

Got myself a nice V3 TYPE-R now running 350bhp/349ft/lb and again it,s just a hoot of a car, the guy i bought it off ran a 12.3 quarter @110.9mph @ Scooby shootout so it,s not shy..

I paid 5.5k for it, it,s running Motec Ecu, AP 6 Pots, EXE-TC suspension, BLA BLA, i,ve fitted a FMIC since buying it cus 350 on the top mount is really pushing it..
