I'm genuinely interested in knowing the spec of his 215bhp engine, as mine is around 200ish so would like to compare.

The whole point of a sleeper is it looks like a standard car but goes like Sh*t.

The O.P's car;

Standard (sh*te) colour = Pass
Roof rack = Pass
Wheels = We'll let that one go
5 Doors = Pass
Non colour coded trim = Pass

Posting a photo including it's reg number on a very popular forum = ABSOLUTE FAIL.

He's got a lil breather tank hidden under the dump valve, for the water, see all the pipes going in over and under the DV.

Yes mate I'd be interested to know your spec as I see you still on mfi.
