| dan; no mate. Still went like stink (see the hit the limiter in 5th comment on the test drive )
Ste; Softstars indeed, and by good they look fkin sweet. Can't wait to get it all back together now. Also just got a corsa gsi front splitter which I've fitted onto my 'loan' bumpers; to say it's low is an understatement

| Well I went to York, and my best was a 14.7 quarter mile Very chuffed with that although I do think I still have potential to go abit quicker on current spec.
Will update this thread properly later in the week when my bumpers etc are back | |

| It's got a 2.2 stroker kit on it, throttle bodies, cams and a hondata. Along with ATB, 6pots etc
It only ran a 14.2, should be good for a low 13 but he kept setting off using the launch control rather than being a boyracer and giving it a 6k vtec launch, LOL | |

| bet it sounds mental he must of spent a fortune 
i think the launch control is brilliant and works really well. 6k launch at york and he would have been sat on the spot | |
