no not standard

it was built to run a reliable 400 bhp& as its seen its fair share of abuse at well over 400bhp it was built well

Needs an OS Giken or FFD now with some 3.9 or shorter diffs to really come alive now. Will be silly. Never seen it run in its old guise but will be making some effort to see it run in its new one thats for sure
