ooooo liking that alot mate, good buy

**Benn** · 02-09-2008, 20:51

Christ you've just got one hell of a car! Very fast and very well set up.
Jason lives close to me, see the car alot. Do you live down this way?
What plans do you have?

flatout · 02-09-2008, 21:51

looks really nice that, good buy!

**CraigGreen** · 03-09-2008, 10:16

Nice car to stamp your authority on. Make it your own.

The cars going straight into a bodyshop on the Monday after i've collected it. It's having the stickers taken off, both the seals re-painted and the floor plan inside the car. Also having some gsi side skirts fitted, as long as they clear the side exit exhaust?

I've got some new 15" team dynamic pro race 1.2 alloys coming and some 195/50/15 r888's too

Performance wise it's quick enough as it as at the monent, need to get use to it first. However will be fitting a boost controller to it.

Sounds good dude, glad your taking the stickers off. I there the exhaust might be a bit close.. you might need to do a bit of trimming.

plunky · 03-09-2008, 17:41

where abouts are you from mate? would be nice if it was kept round this sort of area..

game1 · 03-09-2008, 20:03

I'm from Northants - about 15 mins from Santa pod. So about 165 miles from you.

**Benn** · 03-09-2008, 20:07

lol, he's told me all about that story and that he's had his tom tom reading at 163mph in the car

was really supprised how well the car went to be honest. Have been use to 4wd and when he took me out in it and it was struggling for grip in 4th - well that was it, had to buy it

Will look after her, and keep her maintained to the highest standard. Yeah also plan to do quite a few track days in it as Silverstone, Rockingham Speedway, Bruntingthorpe, etc are not far from me

**Benn** · 03-09-2008, 20:30

Yeah i was a bit in shock, but then i know jason so...lol

Sounds like you've got a good plan.
