Looks like a decent wee toy that, will need a bit of suspension/transmission jiggery pokery to get the power down properly and make it handle well on track wont it??

How are the ACTs with the intercooler being where it is and pipework routed the way it is??

Well done on building it up yourself.


Cheers,

Hi mate I reckon its the dogs cahunas apart from the mirrors.
It looks ten times better on the escos wheels too.
I have been following the build and have to say the workmanship is second to none.

cheers for thr good comments people, its using a bc standard gearbox with the big bearing conversion, 6 paddle alcon clutch which doesnt slipp with the boost etc its running and green injectors, mirrors are gonna be changed asap, it handles pretty well considering.
