That roof rack must be terrible for your MPG.

Not bad, can't see an aftermarket intercooler on it tho. And lose the dump valve
Chatter is what it's all about

What sort of ACT temps do you see with no air flow through the bumper and no vents on the bonnet ?

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.
