yea, the one in bullets sig

if you want my advice (im a stance freak) don't do white, i think red looks elegant on the escos and white wheels will kinda make it look too track.

thats just my opinion tho.....

Its on english soil but unfortunately where every cossie has seen some time on the back of an AA truck.

I dont beleieve it lol, Its nothing to worry about, Went all that way and then 10 mins from my area and the guy ran it out of fuel causing something with the pump.

Atleast its gonna have a new pump now.

Guy sounds like a real nice bloke, Doing tank will be dropped by 3pm.

Well it had just done all them miles.

Lhd220turbo Has got it spot on

Was going for 600HP+ Gt35 spec massive Port modification etc etc and ended up with A lightly polished head Chocolate slappy pistons and standard compression.

All that for Ł8536 WITHOUT TURBO!

Then they tried to tell me compression was fine and low compression was oldskool i just needed autronic at another 2.5k to see 600HP.

it promptly went to martin on a trailer to have the work examined. It was then we found out it would struggle at 400hp let alone 600.

Oh well. Onwards and upwards.

Always go to reputable tuners!
