Was that 1/4 mile time recorded with the 18's and Ice on the car?
Fucking lovely though. A lot different to the last time I saw it.

Yes mate the 14.6 was with 13stone of ICE, full leather interior, and 18s allround...
And the wastegate was leaking at that point - but don't like saying that as people thinks its an excuse, altho its not.
Wastegate been fully re-bushed now!

I bet you will be sad to sell it.
